Fantasy Impact: The Vancounver Canucks have signed winger Raffi Torres to a one-year, $1 million contract.
The Canucks get: an on-again, off-again power winger who has been off-again with much more frequency these last two seasons. He's been oft injured, but if he stays healthy he has shown that he can lay out 150 hits, 80 PIM and 45 points. The price was rock-bottom, the Canucks did well in addressing some grit on the cheap. Fantasy Players Impacted: This hurts the odds of Sergei Shirokov and Bill Sweatt making the team - and those odds were somewhat slim to begin with. However, this team can score goals and if Torres can get back to his 40-plus days it will be here. However, he has averaged about 30 games missed per year over the last three campaigns. Players this helps, in order: Players this hurts, in order:

Picture By the way, have you ever had another post that got so many negative comments? It's gotta be funny. |

Really?!? Dude! Really?!? You've already destroyed peoples lives with that picture - I say you put it back up. Yes, it's lame. Yes, it makes me want to scroll that picture out of my sight, but you can't let all of us pressure you into taking that down. As a matter of fact, if you come across more of those, you should post them because like I said below, I don't want to draft a guy that makes those kinds of decisions (probaby). |

... I do wonder why a less atrocious picture could not be found haha. dobber just single handedly made his entire community think torres is a d-bag haha. |

... This picture makes me question his decision making skills among other things. Both on the ice and off of it. I will never draft this guy based on that alone. |

... not sure where you got those stats... i looked up his historical stats, looks like his career high in hits is 114 in 2006-07, and he's only topped 40+ pts. once (2005-06). And a career average of .72 PIMs per game. i don't think he has shown that he can get 150 hits, 80 PIM and 45 points. He'll pretty much need a career year to do it. as a vancouverite i must say this is a pretty disappointing signing but i guess the risk factor is somewhat mitigated by the low signing price. |

Samuelsson & Burrows Any chance he moves to the first line to play with the Sedins? This must affect Samuelsson & Burrows somewhat. |
