Still Alex Kerfoot for NCAA FA.
Darren Raddysh for CHL FA.
Only two "bigger" names I can think of. Van is still in on both as for every other team in the league i'm sure.

Capfriendly has moved onto next season. I think contracts end june 1st though. 33/50 contracts with probably 7-10 players to sign. If van was to get those 2 it would be awesome.

Haven't heard anything from about Euro free agents. They all seem to be going to Toronto anyways.

Only on the last day in Europe!

Didn't get out of the media centre till after 2 a.m. last night, so this is basically my post-tournament cocktail.

Don't need Hunwick. I can see Byron because I think Canucks will lose a center to the expansion draft.

Fuk, the crap names getting thrown out there?

May follow Carol's lead and start day drinking early

Exactly. Not sure why Benning is looking at Byron other than he might be cheap? One 20 goal year does not warrant going after the guy if you look at his numbers prior it's average at best. Maybe Benning feels his speed would be a big asset?

Byron is not a horrible choice. He is small but did put up more goals that any Canuck. He battles hard in front of the net. 80% of our current forwards don't even know where the front of the net is.

Way ahead of you having a beer and mowing the lawn. We all know how well alcohol and power tools work out...

You are probably going to lose Gaunce to expansion draft . I guess we could always bring back Chaput.

Maybe Byron would fit Green's 'systems'. Tough to say. I get the fact we need scoring just not sure Byron would be the right choice to play out there in the west.

You think? Not sure I see Vegas going after a guy that can't score in 60 games.

There is not much to choose from here. My guess it would be Gaunce Sbisa or Sutter going

Let's fit it all together. Van trades a D to Montreal for Byron plus. Van then signs Hunwick. Don't ask me what the "plus" is. I'm not sure what a one year player at 28 is worth.

I would try and sign patrick eaves to a one year deal.

Van needs some "heart" players but ones that are 5'8" I'm not so sure.

Green's philosophy is to score goals. For this team to get better they need goals.

I don't think people realize this but we have 3 of the best 3rd lines in the league.

Lots of teams will want Eaves this year. He had a very good year
