GM Dave Nonuts will quickly learn that Dallas's asking price for Benn is just as steap if not more steap than the Canucks asking price for Lou.

You want a quality star impact player, you've got to pay a premium.

- Green_Gene


Which is a reasonable ask on the part of Dallas - because Benn doesn't have a moronic contract and Benn isn't 34 years old.

The asking price for Lalongo should a a modest salary dump and a goaltending prospect or mid-round pick - nothing more.

Question: What is Benn gonna cost to resign? So far it's been reported/rumored that Benn is asking for 8 years at around 5.5-6 million per. The actual contract figures remain to be seen, but those contract numbers hold up than it really isn't far off from what Lou has left on his contract.

here's a hint... now take your time and read and think about it... but don't hurt yourself.

how old is Benn?
how old is Lalongo?

"For me, I'd like to be the guy that looks at Mike Gillis and says, 'You're a moron,'" Roberts said. "It almost was like they thought he [Hodgson] didn't want to work. Well, I can tell you that this kid out of all the kids that I train, he's up there in the [Steven] Stamkos group as far as commitment and determination. What I tell him, he does, so I know he's coachable and I love working with him."

If the Canuckas are holding firm on the demand from the Leafs for Kadri, Bozak & a 2nd pick than Lu will not be coming to TO. Nonis even said he won't trade young players for an old player. Besides what Nonis has been stating, the fact that the Leafs have gotten rid of Connely & Lombardi, they can't turn around & get rid of two more forwards. Trust me if Nonis was going to give into Gillis's crazy demands, Lombo & Connely would still be on the team.

Leafs will only go Perry if Kessel doesn't wanna re-sign in TO. Besdies, wouldn't surprise me if Getzlaf & Perry wanna play together, wheither it's re-signing in Anahiem or something else.

I'd take watching playoff hockey every year over winning the cup before I was born, and never getting to watch playoff hockey.
