Last week at FanHouse, Greg Wyshynski took a look at Trevor Linden's situation in Vancouver heading into training in camp. In short, everything is up in the air, as Linden would like to come back for another season while management, well, they might have other ideas.
Tom Benjamin explains:
Why isn't Linden signed? He may not be a very good player any more, but he can still contribute - he did last season - and he does have deep roots in the community and a real relationship with the fans. What's the holdup? I think the Canucks were hoping Linden would retire despite the fact he is still capable of making a contribution. Why? Because while Trevor can still play, he doesn't play well enough to offset the baggage he now brings to the dressing room.
And that baggage is spelled N-H-L-P-A. Read the rest right now.
