ya agreed just curious. Didn't think they'd bite on Tanev either. Lind and Dahlen would be off the table but it would be nice to move Baertchi.
- LordHumungous

I think it'd take another piece bigger than Baertschi to make that deal happen. Pretty much a non-starter on our side

I would wait and see what Dahlen does here. Good reports on him
- VANTEL

I hope he does well enough to at least get a couple games with the big club this year

Oh for sure...Baertchi and Hutton couldn't get it done? lol

Listening to Benning this AM , he seems to have a bulge for Hughes. He also strongly hinted how hard it is this year to acquire a center and said he would consider Kotkaniemi

- LordHumungous

Is this the career Lefty keeps bragging about?

Plus Side: Great signing. I do not think that playoffs in 2 years is unattainable.

Down Side: We must sign a goon. He is just too small in stature.

Far Side: Shocked, SHOCKED I am that Kane did not test the markets. I am not sure what he would have done for Vancouver at this time in our evolution but vastly better than Erikk(buyout)son.

Kane said this morning that SJ 'allows him to be the man he wants to be'...whatever that means lol

SJ is a city in Cali which he seems to enjoy and he got overpaid + more term than he deserved. If I were him I would've taken that and run same as him

I've come around on Hughes. At first I thought there's no way I wanted the Canucks to draft him but now I think he'd fill our biggest need

Benning on pick #7 : "I think we should take the best player available. But center-icemen & defensemen retain their value so if it comes between a winger or a centermen or a defensemen, we'll look positionally" #Canucks

Sounds like he signed with the Army.

Hughes will be gone and they'll take Dobson

If Hughes was gone or they pick Dobson?

Who do you think he takes if Hughes is gone?

Boqvist?

I still think there's a good chance he goes with Wahlstrom unless hughes or boquist is on the board.

Benning on acquiring a center for Pettersson: "I'm talking to a lot of the teams in the league right now. We feel Adam Gaudette can come in and push for his spot on the team. But it's the unknown of Elias coming in, maybe he can play center.

Boqvist?

Yes Or a center

Excellent, he can go with Kotkaniemi and let Wahlstrom slide further down. It seems like an odd statement to make, when the centers don't really show up in the top 9 spots in most pre-draft rankings.

Benning on SN 650, "Pettersson can play all 3 forward positions. I've seen him play a couple games at centre & I thought he was good. At some point we envision him long-term being a centre ice man for us. There's a good chance he'll start at the wing." #Canucks

seems like the more likely scenario.

I'll be happy as long as one team in the top 9 wants a center and takes Kotkaniemi, leaving us with whoever is left over from Boqvist, Dobson, Wahlstrom or Tkachuk. I think the top 3 are set, and Hughes and Bouchard go in the top 6.

I just thought it was odd Benning even mentioned the center position at 7.
