A few other quotes from Murray yesterday.

"It's very quiet out there now. A lot of fence sitting around the NHL"

"We're still exploring all avenues. I don't really have a sense yet of what I'm going to do."

"I think our strength is on the wings in the minors and our prospects. We have some D coming but we're not trading those guys out."

"We'll see if we have something to sell that makes that makes sense to make us better in the future."

I think that's our weakest but that's my opinion

time to sell everything and let the ship go down and hopefully we pull off a Winnipeg Jets a lottery move up win

I think we are at 26th atm ? So picking 4th without the oil horseshoe up our ass.

Vancouver Canucks - Evander Kane

"The rumours of a trade to Vancouver have been around for years, dating back to Kane’s time in Winnipeg. Despite having worn his welcome out in two NHL cities, when healthy there is no denying Kane can produce. He’s big, can skate and has ability to put up decent numbers. Kane’s career has mostly been a disappointment, hitting 30 goals in one season and 20 in another as the top highlights through parts of eight campaigns. He’s not a superstar and he’s never been an all-star or an Olympian. But a triumphant return to his hometown could bring some lustre to his career before it ultimately burns out. The Sabres want to move on. Despite GM Tim Murray wanting a big price to this point, it’s evident no one is going to pay it. Canucks GM Jim Benning needs some pop in his lineup and Kane could provide it. The deal makes as much sense as any involving Kane at this stage."

So much smoke....

looking at the 2017 draft, assuming we get a top 10 pick

there is no lw'ers in the top 10
centers, rw, d men



I think it's time to be sellers now
Ship out franson, kulikov, gionta (if you can), nilsson
Try to unload Moulson, Gorges, Bogo, Ennis
Turn the page from Foligno
and finish this rebuild


Move Okposo to LW, he played there with Tavares
Move ROR to LW he has played there before
Move Reinhart to the dot


Finish the year with

ROR, Eichel, Baptiste
Okposo, Reinhart, Bailey
Kane, Girgensons, Fasching
Carrier, COR, Schneider

McCabe, Risto
Falk, Fedun
Nelson, Burgdoerfer


with your pick in the top 10, draft the best player available

Good luck getting anything useful out of Vancouver.

Apparently the Kings are open to the idea of trading Martinez. Would probably be a good move to pursue that.

The Shattenkirk one makes zero sense. He wants to be on the east coast, IIRC.

Well it is Jim Benning he would probably give up his first +

That's the thing. The only thing of use in that org is their 1st. They have maybe 2 players I'd be glad to have, and I assume they would be the last two players on the roster they would be willing to trade.

he said he was open to continue playing in the west this week


FANRAG SPORTS NETWORK: Chris Nichols cites Darren Dreger telling Montreal’s TSN 690 that Shattenkirk’s representatives deny their client’s preference is to join an Eastern Conference club. ” If there were a trade and sign extension scenario, he absolutely would look at it. And again, there’s a large number of teams – and teams that might surprise,” said Dreger.

The best option is to lose and hopefully the lottery helps us out like the Winnipeg Jets they Pick 6 last year and they moved up to second

(frank) losing. If it happens, it happens. But (frank) that.

Darren Dreger said Shattenkirk wants 7m a year lol have fun with the Rangers bro

Jesus huge pass

another thing on Shat


"I also think Shattenkirk’s preference was to join an Eastern club, and it could still be if he opts to test the free-agent market in July. However, it seems he wants to keep his options open, especially if it’s for an opportunity to join a Cup contender or a club with a bright future where he might play a leadership role."

(frank) losing. If it happens, it happens. But (frank) that.

True .. but I think the best option right now would be to sell and get draft picks and restock the prospect pool

I would give him 7 years 45 mil

6.5 per


you just need to move bogo and moulson this off season

(frank) losing. If it happens, it happens. But (frank) that.

My same thoughts. I'm hoping for playoffs. I'm not gonna root for the team too lose. Those days are gone.

I think that's our weakest but that's my opinion
