I'm curious if they are trying to get COOLEY RE-SIGNED before camp?

I think I heard that logic before. How did that work out between the Skins and Dockery?

The fact is that we have the cap room to re-sign him now and still do everything we want to in free agency and the draft. Canuck's cap sheets show us with 10 mil and the ability to free up 10 more. There is no reason to wait to get Cooley deal done. If they drag thier feet, and don't get a new deal done before the season, I expect Cooley will have no reason not to test the free agency market next year.

I hope they get the deal done in early april.
