For the love of god, get his name right!

To the people worried about who is going to replace the Sedin twins when they retire, Taveres and Evander Kane will be UFA's the year their contracts expire.

@Arpannnnn they're down on him in a big way, makes $5m, and would have massive appeal to places like pitts

I don't trust this guy like some do but that last tweet was in quotations meaning he heard something off of the record....

If this management team really thinks Vrbata is an issue at 5M and thinks Sbisa is worth 3.6M all I can do it sit back and laugh.

UFA classes always look great 2-3 years in advance. Just saying. I'm sure someone was probably hyping this year's class 2-3 years ago before most if the good players for extensions.

Ya you're right, I'm just being impatient.

When I look at how the Ducks have managed their organization it impresses me! Their asset management is damn good.

2014 - traded B. Ryan for Silfverberg, Nosen & 10th overall (N. Ritchie)
2013 - Shea Theodore 26th overall, kid is so good!!!
2012 - Hampus Lindholm 6th overall, down year.
2011 - traded down from 22nd to 30th for an extra 2nd. Picked Rakell @ 30 & John Gibons with the extra 2nd round pick.
2010 - picked Cam Fowler 12th overall & E. Etem 29th overall with the Flyers pick from the Pronger trade.

Anaheim and Winnipeg.

Both strongly believe in the draft.

Kevin Cheveldayoff is a boss.

Yeah, I like twitter as my go to for hockey info as well. Iron clad investigative journalism.

how did i know i would get banned for saying the canucks window has closed?

some mods here are such homers, sad we can't have an unbiased discussion.

We feel awful for you. I've taken up a collection from everyone in this thread and have bought you a luxurious gift basket to let you know how sorry we all are that you are not made to feel welcome.

So I really hope vans plan to stop mcdavid isn't with McCann

Not moving Vrbata would be a mistake. He has one year left and will not be playing with the twins this year, so doubtfully scores 31 again.

We could grab a nice piece coming back like Pouliot or a young player coming back that would be excellent.

Why not move him? They want to get younger, it frees up money, and his market value is high.

At a 9.5 cap hit, that would be ridiculous. Does this team have a problem with Canadian players?

I would look at it as a tradable asset in 3 years with a huge return and save 4.5 mil per in the meantime

Jim Rutherford; We start with your first this year and next.

Benning; Ummm

Jim Rutherford; Add Horvat & Virtanen

Benning; Well you know

Jim Rutherford; We eat no salary

Acquiring him would cost you, for the Canucks, your entire prospect pool. Despite what people think of Geno, he's one of the best in the world at the center position.

Benning does sound really dumb in his interviews. Sounds like a former hockey player.
