Where will Eddy end up? According to Nonis, he's not done in Vancouver yet, and there's a possibility that he could be signed again. But he did buy a house in Florida. Is that a sign he could be returning there? He'd surely be a good fit with Boumeester, but I'd rather see him on our blue line.

id love to see jovo back in vancity, but i dought it. hes goin to florda, he lives there allready, he just had twins with his wife who lives out there, he has friends and family out there. id be willing to put money that jovo goes to florda

Yea, it's very unfortunate, but it looks like Allen will have his defense partner back.

Doubt he resign's in vancouver nor do i think he will sign with the panthers

what about a sign and trade jovo signed then traded to the leafs or just gone to the leafs for mcabe

   

Jovo is done in vancouver....Nonis said so himself...heres what he said in a small conference:

Cloutier is done in Vancouver. Noronen will be backup. Nonis says that Cloutier is a top-10 goaltender but Luongo is top-2.

Luongo wants to play in Vancouver and Nonis and his agent are talking long-term deal. Nonis wants it done quickly and when asked by John Shorthouse if he had signed him long-term yet (opening joke), Nonis said, with a straight face, "ask me tomorrow".

Jovanovski is gone. Nonis went into a long speech about the new economics about the NHL and how with the Sedins getting raises and other RFA's, there's not much room left. He did seem more optimistic about Carter.

Bourdon and Bieksa will be top-6.

Naslund and Morrison are healing nicely after their injuries. King and Smith are long ways away.

Tommy Santala was made out to be the best fourth line center the team has ever had.

Linden is "too expensive" at his option price but would fit in at a lower number.

Nonis mentioned that the top 3 lines just need RW's. He named Naslund/Morrison, Sedin/Sedin, and Cooke/Kesler as the current cores of the top 3 lines. He then went on to say anyone could be on the fourth line.

I think Keenan will be able to grab Jovanovski in Florida. If so, Florida will have great chance to make the playoffs. Edmonton played 3/4 of the year with awful goaltender and still manage to finish 8th in the West. Alex Auld is way better than both Markannen and Conklin, and an average campaign by him will put Florida in the playoff board.
