This can't be how the day ends, right, with the Canucks signing Wellwood and Hordichuk....

CanuckSniper · 07-01-2008, 05:06 PM

good fourth line guy

hlrsr · 07-01-2008, 05:07 PM

This is how we found out about Isbister last year I think..

I'm just being pessimistic, it is my way.

so.... oilers get cole for toughness and we get hordichuk....

John Belushi · 07-01-2008, 05:12 PM

If this means Cowan is gone, I am happy. Hordichuk is tough, and can actually play a semi-regular shift. When with Nashville he always seemed to score against the Canucks, too.

Randall Ritchey · 07-01-2008, 05:13 PM

I thought the team that trade for Hordichuk's rights signed him. Carolina wasn't it? I can't remember.

Now that i think about it, it was Carolina who signed him. So they had to trade him to Vancouver. But for what?

This is a good signing if true.

Canes never signed him

If it's true, pure awesomeness. Finally, a guy who will stick up for his team and not lose (sorry Cowan, you don't count).

**y2kcanucks** · 07-01-2008, 05:18 PM

Ugh....

Rotang · 07-01-2008, 05:18 PM

A player absolutely devoid of skill, pointless addition with Cowan still under contract and Rypien/Brown in the minors.

At least get a tough guy who can play a regular shift

Tagline · 07-01-2008, 05:20 PM

He better not be wearing #16 like it says on the site.

YogiCanucks · 07-01-2008, 05:21 PM

Wait. So Canucks traded for Hordichuck for Bieksa or something?

Gillis. I know you're crazy but.....

I could have swore Canes ink him to a deal. Oh well. Fits well in Vancouver since we matched the Backes offer sheet.

YogiCanucks · 07-01-2008, 05:30 PM

so this was our 750k we left aside for a 4th liner money?

Drop the Sopel · 07-01-2008, 05:30 PM

Darcy Hordichuk had 12 fighting majors last season and 60 total PIM's. Love the sounds of that from a 4th liner.

This guy is nasty. But so are his hands. I'm sick of seeing Canucks getting pummelled. Thumbs up.

EpochLink · 07-01-2008, 05:33 PM

Its a fourth liner that needs to be filled.

Why are the hopes on the Sundin signing handcuffing Gillis?!

Ryder/Hueslies/Hossa are still out there.

orcatown · 07-01-2008, 05:35 PM

Depending on the amount a good pick up . Very solid team guy and legitmately tough. Good 4th line checker and real character guy.

19nazzy · 07-01-2008, 05:36 PM

TSN confirmed - Vancouver Canucks sign UFA forward Darcy Hordichuk to a two-year deal
