Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks lose Luca Sbisa to Vegas in expansion draft The NHL expansion draft is in the books and, as expected, the Vegas Golden Knights selected Luca Sbisa from the Vancouver Canucks roster.

10 years lul. Acting as if we have been the oilers for that long.

Spisa out. Oduya in.
Probably for less money, and a better resume when the trade deadline rolls around.
Good roster filler, character guy and flippable asset.
He wouldn't be my first choice, but I have a feeling he is Benning's target.
On a one year deal, I like it.

Torts will also be out of a job within two years.

I love you, Carol!!

Stecher should have went up and popped him one.

Makes sense. I think they have to prepare assuming OJ and Pedan both will not make the team, so grabbing a guy like that would be smart, assuming we can ship him out for picks at the TDL

But then Miller would've had to jump in to save him

Now that would be a proper NHL awards show.

I hope teams don't do Vegas any favors and low ball them for those defence. Make them waive them for nothing to hit their roster size...

1st off I think Torts was the wrong choice by Aquilini for this team at that time. They were a much older more stabilized group that needed guidance and structure. Torts came in and alienated several players from each other, he played players out of their element, the Sedins blocking shots, what the what is that about?

As stated, he was not committed full time to being the coach. The team doesn't reside in the USA, he had no desire to move to Vancouver, didn't show for practices, didn't know the players on the team, on and on.

He was good for Columbus, he did turn that club around and deserves credit where credit is do. I am not a fan of Babcock, he is a good coach, but I think he is overrated, he was gifted Matthews, I like Mariner, and we will see how Nylander works out long term. But I don't buy into the greatest coach shtick, and I'm going to guess that statement will probably bring in a few Leaf trolls, but I can deal with that.

Stecher hit something, good luck with that, he'll have to chase the kid around the stage for 2 minutes like he does with opposing players in the Canucks end

But then Miller would've had to jump in to save him

So what's happening?

I would have liked for Torts to stick here two more years just to move the NTCs and change the style of our game

#Canucks have talked to Miller and his group. "If we have some good news to announce, we'll let everybody know."

Does Benning mean good news as in not signing him?

I just heard on the 1040 that Vegas wants to trade Methot but he is blocking the deal

so by good news they mean that they decided NOT to offer Miller a contract?

What is your feeling on Galyenchuk for Tanev? I think Galy is underachieving and soft. Not sure I want to go down that road.
