So I assume Benning wants to trade a forward or package a forward for a dman now, said he wants to upgrade the defense.

Why not just sign De Haan then and trade Hutton for peanuts? If Moore is getting 2.8M for 5 years, I can see someone taking Hutton for free for 1 year at 2.8M and hoping he regains form.

Edler - Gudbranson
De Haan - Tanev
Pouliot - Del Zotto
Stecher

Seeing gudbranson on the top pairing makes me wanna puke and the fact that you have MDZ playing on his off side ahead of Stecher who is a better Dman is also troubling

Jim just said they will be looking at trades next week. Did anyone tell Jim it is only a 23 man roster?

oh poop, my bad

I meant

Edler - Gudbranson
De Haan - Tanev
Del Zotto - Stecher
Pouliot


Gudbranson has looked bad with everyone except Edler so far in Vancouver so that's why I have him there. The top 4 would play about equal minutes in this scenario, not really a 1st or 2nd pairing type of deal unless you re-eunite Edler and Tanev and drop down Gudbranson with De Haan.

"Plan is we have drafted some good young skilled players. We want to give those players a chance to play in the skilled positions on the team. Looking to round out our group, add some players to support the young players that we think can make the team next year. One of our goals was to be a harder team to play against next year."

i'm just saying, it's better than trading away assets for a dman. If Jim trades a (frank)ing pick away for a dman upgrade, then you'll see some real fireworks in Vancouver.

Today is nothing

Statistically Speaking: Canucks overspend on depth forwards

They just have to get a shot in no matter what dont they ?

Yeah, I'm not counting out Hughes playing in Vancouver. But Benning saying he wants to upgrade defense via trade was interesting.

We just drafted him last week. Haven't had an opportunity to talk to Quinn about the future next year. Sit down this week and talk to the family. He will come to training camp and go from there.

I mean, he's not wrong. These aren't exactly the best production per dollar signings.

(frank) we should just give them Hutton


That is what happens when you spend 11 mil on one guy you have to surround them with the Jordan Subbans and Adam Cracknells

Wonder if Neal ends up in Calgary

Maybe Bozek to WPG ? Would love to see him hold up the cup next year

he's already signed with the Blues lol

That was amazing penalties. What drama.

So Jay Beagle's contract is basically buyout proof just like Eriksson's due to bonuses
