Benning's infatuation with Brisbois is kind of funny.

Don't get me wrong, he's a average prospect, but to bring up him and Chatfield more than once when talking about the prospect pool.

Give me a break.

I mean, he drafted him. Obviously he's going to maintain confidence in him, especially in the media. Players read these releases too.

The kid is not having a terrible first year on the team imo.

Brisebois isnt shiny enough for many of you...so he isnt a good prospect.
The kid has some solid defensive skills...quit your whining biatches.

Very Happy with this.

I am not a huge Benning fan but I am a fan of certainty and consistency.

somewhere McKenzie Stewart is fuming for not getting the same love.

I’m actually not in shock lol


My money was on both Benning and the Sedins getting extensions

I think it was somewhat safe to say that Benning was going to get extended.

That would be pretty funny. Benning "Signing Loui was the biggest mistake of my career. He is a garbage player who mailed it in the minute he signed his deal. "

Comets are on a roll, they must be doing good.

He kind of reminds me of Peter Andersson, who I had high hopes for.

Need guys like that in the system, it just sucks when he is the 2nd best d prospect.

88 transactions for them this year. Trent Cull deserves some credit for sure

maybe. I suspect JB is wanting to appease fans, I also think it's smart on his part to point out the players he has developing in strong developmental leagues like SHL and AHL. Brisbois is a solid prospect, who is playing way more icetime than at the start of the year and keeps gaining confidence. I'm not worried about him at all.

Benning has done what he set out to do. Made some mistakes, but had his best year last year IMO and hopefully builds on that this year. I like the move, tired of the revolving door approach.

I think he makes it as a safe bottom paring guy...but totally agree, our D prospect pool is in shambles

I'm thinking of switching teams. The Oilers suck and have empty cupboards. Plus Hendo is depressing to read.

Gawd no! Not next year either.

1. Sedin's Come Back for 1 year at 2.5
2. Guddy & Vanek traded at deadline
3. Tanev traded in the Summer
4. Eriksson buy out at the end of next season so he is gone at the same time the Sedin's are gone.
5. Blow up our Goaltending.
6. AHLer's (Chaput, Menga) replaced with rookies.

I wouldn't want to be a Canucks fan. Three more years after this one hanging in the basement. Good times to be had for sure.
