Benning probably deserved the fine because he technically broke the rules, but it's good that they were mostly lenient about it.

He didn't really say anything that people didn't already know. Anyone with half a brain would know the Canucks were interested in those players. The amount of damage done was extremely negligible.

Gotta send the message that what he did isn't allowed, but in the end can't penalize them TOO harshly for that.

The summer of Lucic continues as he's had his fill of trying to win another Cup. Time to look out for número uno and it's the nucks and oil to the rescue!

Hey buddy your team might be interested too...

On a way more important note...

Sounds like the Leafs didn't qualify Corrado. Should we work out some kind of sign and trade so we can offer him a max contract with a NMC? Asset Management

They qualified him

Classy move, thx for saving us the trouble

Cool, heard incorrectly. Good thing they held onto part of their core

He was a key cog in their race for Matthews. Let's see if he gets through waivers in October.

Makes sense. I come in here and sort of defend Benning and nobody says a word about it.

You're right, he helped Shanahan earn the lottery

Yes to Lucic. I cannot believe anyone would say 'no'. He the modern equivalent of a Bertuzzi/Torres mix.

Nobody from another team has ever done that before...I personally didn't know how to react. My hand was hovering above the flag button for awhile until you did the right thing

Is there a heart in there anywhere BJ?

anyway, with the number of rfa's being outright released by their respective clubs, there are more options in the market place.

with the release of so many rfa's it is looking like the gap is increasing between the big contracts and little contracts.

On a separate topic - it's time to rejoice! seems like we've been waiting an eternity for this but the time has finally come: Healy and Stock are not going to be back on HNIC! (and I'm not disappointed to see Strombo go either). Thank you, Jebus

I really want to see him succeed this year.

Thanks for sharing. This is great news. He needs to get involved physically on a consistent basis as he plays way to passively half the time

Agreed, Makita can't make up his mind on Lucic...constantly contradicting himself

There are so many more options than signing any overpriced UFA for big money and long term...especially for a cretin.
