as of the beginning of this year the canucks have over 4 million in cap space. By christmas that would be enough to sign a $5 million contract.

Of course, why wouldn't he? The spoiled little punk that he is always wants to come play midseason, and with the best team at that particular point. I truely hope he breaks his ankle his first shift and is forced to retire, the selfish prick.

No, I meant they were going to do something about the goalie issue; not that moving a defenseman will fix the goalie issue.

As for Redden and his no trade clause, it all depends if he wants to waive it or not. Just because he upheld it before, doesn't me he will keep doing it.
Anyways, it's just a rumour I heard from someone close to the Sens management...that's all.

He is going to Philly! He has unfinished business and the way the Flyers are playing makes it more likely.

Van has no cap room for Forsberg, he wants 5 mil a year, though he probably will have to settle for 3 mil a year, still too much for Vancouver… Detroit is the best bet, They have Cap room and Stanley Cup potential.

Redden used his no-trade clause to waive a trade to Edmonton in the off season. Also, the Oilers just signed Souray and Pitkanen to long term contracts, they no longer need a defenseman. AND you say this will resolve the goalie issue? So what the Sens trade Redden and a goalie for what? The only thing the Oilers have that the Sens want or need is youth and that kind of package would require a Sam Gagner coming back to Ottawa… not happening

The Canucks can't afford Forsberg regardless, unless they trade 3 million in salary.

As a sens fan i would love to see Forsberg sign with them but not higher than 3 mil a year for no more than 2 years.I saw on RDS that he would be looking for 3 years at around 5 mil,waaaaaaaaay too much unless there is a clause in the contract that he has to play a minimal amount of games or something.

I'd have to say Forsberg in Vancouver would look awesome. I hope he signs soon, we need another top flight player. I can't imagine a power play with him and the Sedins, it'd be sick!
