I could see them going straight into organizational roles, TBH I'd love it because I do think they think the game at a top-tier level and are classy guys for sure.

Yeah I was posting Friday that it seemed they were being groomed for a special advisor role like Smyl. I think TL wants to work with them. But more so ownership thinks they are good for business with their strong community ties all these years.

As per @benkuzma, Trevor Linden and Jim Benning took draft-eligible defenseman Cale Makar to dinner after the NHL Combine. #Canucks


We know this was just a formality seeing the Sedins weren't invited

I mean, at a certain point I would tae him because he goes from being overrated to a decent value pick, but I doubt he's there at 33.

LA will take him at 11.

I would be shocked unless we had the third or first. I don't see it as a stand alone pick.

Right. Agree. Why I put Rasmussen in your sprint to the podium category if he does fall there. Or are you putting your favored expected options at 33 ahead?

Looks like Makar might be their main target if they go D at #5. I'd still rather go center, but Makar's upside is nice if he reaches his ceiling.

I just assumed he'd be gone, but yeah I guess I'd do a fast walk to the podium(with a what am I missing here? facial expression)if I was Benning and he's there at #33. For all of his flaws, he's still a very good prospect.

Makar + Glass works for me


Have a feeling that Benning wants Makar and Fart Face though


With Benning being high on Boeser/Goldobin/Dahlin/Sven I don't buy the Pettersson roooomers.

Rasmusen will be gone in the top 15 I have no doubt.

I'd be good with that if they got 3OA too. I know taking both Glass and Vilardi is asking too much.

I would rather draft Nico and Glass and go after D next year

Probably but some have him lower rated like Button. Canucks Army has him in the 2nd round. So just holding out the possibility on this open non consensus draft.

Going after the best centres is never a bad idea. I like Makar though.

Sign me up, but that ain't happening.


I'd go from hating Benning to worshipping him #bipolar

My neighbour is mowing his lawn right now. Clearly we can never be friends.
