That’s a lot of faith in a little body.

Pageau has a 43 point season under his belt.

What part of Faska's game broke out last season compared to the previous?

Benning wants to add grit and toughness, "That's something we are targeting in free agency with certain players, to make sure we are hard enough to play against

I like this thought.


Sounds like the #Canucks have checked in on free agent C Riley Nash.

Seems like a better option then Bozak.
- manvanfan

Meh


He’s gonna get more than people think, Bruins under the radar forward is sign is Schaller

Would you trade Motte and Granlund for Pageau and a 4th?
- manvanfan

Umm, I’d trade those 2 + a 4th for Pageau


Sens say no

The Blackhawks have not tendered a qualifying offer to RFA Anthony Duclair yet. They have until 4 pm, but indications are they're going to let Duclair, Tomas Jurco and Michael Chaput become UFAs.

So they just did Kero and the Canucks a favour?

The expectation is that Joe Thornton is staying put in San Jose. No hurry to get his deal done, what his contract looks like depends on who else the Sharks can add (hint, hint). To be clear, the Sharks absolutely have room to sign John Tavares and keep Thornton, too.


No surprise here

And we can sign Chaput to the Comets

I think he might be a little upset that the Canucks picked up Dowd this year and didn’t give him first crack at 4LC

Maybe they wanted to drop a contract?

If Duclair becomes a UFA I'd like JB to take a crack at signing him

Okay,

Here's my rundown of Day 2 of the draft, plus the Tanner Kero trade and a quick look at qualifying offers in the new blog.

So much happening!

- NorthNuck

Why? We don’t need more wingers

Tobias Rieder to become UFA

got an Avatar lined up for Don yet?
- neem55

He has it and should be going live today

How about Brock Nelson as a C?

Pouliot not qualifued so a UFA

If JB is true to his word he might not pick up anybody, he said it's time for the kids to show what they can do. I won't be surprised if he does nothing and I won't be surprised if he spends the whole 25 million.

A couple of weeks ago Benning said they would look to add center help through free agency or through a trade if it makes sense.

I get the sense that they want to but are not desperate. He's confident they have the center depth for the bottom 6 with Gaudette added. I guess it just comes down to EP. That might be a wait and see move since we are not chasing a closing window or anything. Short term scraps for the top 6.
