Canucks loading with Big Bear
Click here for a Canucks.com video talking to Steve Bernier at Vancouver's prospect camp. Looks like there's a chance he'll be on a line with the Sedin twins. We'll see him in HSBC, remember, on Oct. 17.
I'd still like to know what the Canucks saw to give Bernier $2.5 million and thus automatically turn him into a marquee guy. He says in the video he's lost 8-10 pounds and I think he could have helped the Sabres this year -- as a third- or fourth-liner. His skating ability is a real question, so all of a sudden he's playing with the Sedins?
Either the Sabres were very wrong about Bernier -- which makes the take in the Brian Campbell trade a real head-scratcher -- or the Canucks are grossly overpaying.
