I agree, Edler, Gubber, tanev, Hutton, Tryamkin, and one of either Hamhuis or Sbisa is a solid group. No number 1 stud, but solid depth.

The Canucks could really use a top flight scorer. Would love to see them Move the #5 to CBJ for 3 and take on Hartnell's contract.... we may need to add their second as part of the deal. But I would pay that to get Puljujarvi. Hartnell would be a handy guy to have around as well, since he could help protect some of the younger players and he's been a pretty consistent goal scorer throughout his career.

Good morning,

The Kings and Lucic are meeting now that the salary cap is set, Gudbranson is in Vancouver, Etem will be qualified and everybody seems to think that P.L. Dubois is the man for Van on Friday.

New blog:

I was thinking, if JB said he had 6 players in mind with the 5th pick, if he would swap picks with the Flames? and if somehow there is a player that gets picked in the top 4 that isn't one of his 6 (far fetched, I know), he could swap picks with the Yotes and get some more picks or a prospect and a player he wants.

Looking forward to Friday.

I don't think Benning can go and make offers. I think he has to wait for them to come to him if he wants a big return.

I like Pedan . He is still needing a lot of improvement. Right now he reminds me of Ahlberts. I think it depends if they can sign him cheap.

you are right he needs to work on his game...he is a solid skater unlike Alberts
