According to the Vancouver Province, GM Dave Nonis still has room under the cap to make changes to his team. The Trevor Linden contract has performance bonuses that can be applied to next year's cap if necessary. "I would add another defenceman if I could," Nonis said. "There might be a free agent that comes available at numbers that make sense, but I would say more than likely if we were to add to our forward group it would be through the trade route." It's believed that Nonis would like to add a depth defenseman, as well as another defenseman that can play the PP for the Canucks' AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose. Sources have indicated that Nonis is interested in Nolan Pratt and Andy Hedlund. Source
Next Monday has been proclaimed "Rob and Scott Niedermayer Day" by Cranbrook BC, the Niedermayers' hometown. The brothers will be showing the cup around their town as well as neighbouring Fernie. Could this be the day that Scott Niedermayer will confirm or refute the retirement rumours? Source
The Columbus Dispatch notes that Mike Peca could earn up to $1.9 million with bonuses next year. Peca will get a $500,000 bonus if the Blue Jackets make the playoffs and he appears in 65 games. He'll get $50,000 if he plays in 40 games and an additional $50,000 if he appears in 70 games. Source
