He will do anything for the hits. The Sedins could potentially be playing their final season in the NHL, does he think they would say "we plan on tanking our last year". Botchford truly is a disgrace to hockey media

Like what do you guys expect the Sedins to say in a news conference???

"Well this year, we really wanna lose as much as possible. We're on our way out the door, so getting a high draft pick is the most important thing for us. We plan on playing horrible hockey every night, ummmm not getting pucks in deep. Hopefully not many shots on net and you know, good things won't happen."

Can't stand Vancouver sports media. They ask questions they already know the answers to, but get the answers the players have to say, and then write a dumbpoop article about how dumb the players must be for thinking that way.

If Benning announces an extension before the season starts I will lose my sh*t.

And then posters come in here going "why are they contradicting themselves? FAWKING management? They're always saying two different things."

the level of over-analysis and freak out in here is like a Woody Allan movie.

Leafs did it for 50...we may as well round it out to 5 decades...

There were some great moments, sadly few and far between. For the older demographic which has been there since day one, it's just a little more painful.

I'll be the first to say that I am ok with a 1 year extension. Until Gaudette and Pettersson are ready, we don't have anyone else. 1 year, $4MM is fine with me. Although, if they retire that works as well

It's been a great time to be a Canucks fan the last 10 years. I don't care what happened when I wasn't born. People should suck it up for a few years and stop crying about everything. We will be competitive in a few years and win the cup by 2022

You can say that without seeing them play this season?
They may be better than last season or they could be god awful.
My initial point being that Benning better not resign them before they hit the ice for a meaningful game.
Even if they have a great season, I don't mind floundering for another year or two with 2 second lines as players develope.
It is time to move on from the Sedin cycle game!!

How about putting together a package and trading for a younger center instead?
