We don't need him.

Our Right side is ok for now , we need LHF

He is good not great IMO. The big thing for me, is mgmt has to rid of our NTCs contracts so that we are sitting at 15 mil in cap space so when a really big fish like Stamkos Or Weber or Hamilton do come along you can be in play.

I don't see the point of having our ass up against the cap wall for our all star roster.

For sure, loose Burrows, Bieksa, Higgins, pick up a ROR and Brandon Sutter things change quickly.

ROR at 7 million dollars is a gross overpayment for what he brings to the table, no thanks!!!

The thing about Sutter is he is going to want 5 mil next year and he is not worth that

We need the ethic a Sutter would bring to the table.

If I was the GM this would be my Canuck team . It is not sexy at all . I would trade all these contacts for Picks and two young D men.

What I would have is plenty of cap space a a young team that will grow .

Not a bad choice. He drives conversation at least, and is the only guy willing to pay the price for meaningful change.

My pick for next week if available is Jansen Harkins. D with the 2nd rounder should we acquire one.

I can agree with you here my friend but I do really like Zboril...

I heard it was done, and he has a new one. Who cares, that guy obviously thinks a bit too highly of his abilities to run a hockey talk website. He's not original. He's just trying to rip off HB. Not sure what kind of connections Ek actually has, but if he knows 2 or 3 guys, that's 2 or 3 more than Cloutier.

Get 'er done.

From 30 thoughts,

"10. A perfect example of that would be Vancouver. The Canucks are surrounded by teams that are a fit for Eddie Lack, in particular. He’d be useful for Calgary, Edmonton or San Jose but would Jim Benning want to help any of them? I doubt it. I’ve referenced it before, but hours prior to Cory Schneider’s trade to New Jersey, the Canucks and Oilers talked about it, with Vancouver wanting a first-rounder, a second-rounder and Martin Marincin. A team in their division was going to pay a higher price than the Devils. Different regime now, but can’t imagine the philosophy easing at all."

Benning last year made deals with
a) LA
b) EDM
c) CAL

We are not going to be competitive for a couple years so take the best offer

Of course Benning has to. Friedman was wrong with his assumption.
