CarltonTheBear said:Interesting. The only real hole in our line-up (assuming Kadri and Franson sign) is 3rd line left-wing, which Raymond could fill very well. Right now it's down to him, Colborne (not really a role suited for him), McClement (better suited as a 4th liner), and one of the Marlies (probably not ready yet). So he could actually stick here.

I'm shocked he hasn't found a home yet, honestly.

Looks good.
I'm surprised Raymond was only able to get a PTO. This is a good move by Nonis. Worst case scenario we release him from the tryout and carry on. Best case scenario he becomes the next Michael Grabner and flourishes after leaving the Canucks having been given the chance elsewhere.
sampson said:Even if he's paid under $1M, that makes the Kadri/Franson situation even more difficult. I wonder how it all plays out.
Corn Flake said:If he takes a job from a Joe Colbourne, it won't really matter. JC will probably end up back in the AHL.
Zee said:The cap is really squeezing guys. Raymond made $2.275M his last contract.
A Weekend at Bernier's said:Jeff Blair, who's show I really enjoy by the way, was asking whether brining in Raymond was a "shot across the bow" to the Kadri camp. Just plain dumb. If a player of Raymonds calibre is available on a no-risk basis, you bring him in regardless of what contract squabbles are currently underway.
