Also - good to see Bieksa re-signed, if a little rich (not much of a hometown discount there) and with another NTC - but he's a big part of the team and its good to see we have him back.

Pretty much shut the door on bringing Ehrhoff back though - apparantly the Canucks offered him the exact same contract as Bieksa's but 'Hoff turned it down. Looks like he knows he could fetch upwards of 5 mil a season on the open market. He had a good two years here, hopefully his offensive presence can be replaced ether by someone in the organization, or on July 1, but d-men with skills like that don't grow on trees.

Could be a huge hole on our PP if both Ehrhoff and Salo don't come back...

And, for better or for worse, Lapierre will be back too...
