You guys are in full rebuild mode. Like VAN should be.
- VanHockeyGuy


Yes. The only way you guys can get to rebuild mode is start trading off pending UFA's next season, build from the draft, prospects and developing your young players in Utica. I'm sure that's what Benning wants to do. We started trading off guys like Miller, Vanek, Pominville, Ott, etc. Then we had to fire Regier and Ruff. It's painful. I feel for you guys because we're expansion brothers.

all this tinkering would end if they just increase the rink size.
- bloatedmosquito


Agreed. I'd love to see the Hybrid rink that they tried out a couple World Championships ago. But sadly this topic is about as taboo as abolishing the draft or removing the salary cap.

Guess they don't want to lose any seating as it stands now, but they should ensure new buildings are designed for a larger ice surface if it goes that way. I don't think they need Olympic size, they should be able to come up with something.

I don't know about most but if my team was trying to lose, I wouldn't be watching or attending games.

Corrado? Clendening?
- manvanfan

Corrado and Clendening seem more likely to top out as #5 NHL d-men. Clendening especially was disappointing for me, I knew he wasn't the greatest skater when reading the scouting reports after Benning acquired him but he barely moves his feet which makes him even slower than he already is. A top 4 puck mover needs both speed and skill. He has the skill, but not the speed and his defensive game is so-so.

I would trade either of them before I'd trade Subban right now if I had to. I've seen Subban play about 15 times or so, his size is an issue but he's very strong for his size, a good skater, has puck-moving skills, and has a better shot than any Canuck d-man on the roster including Corrado/Clendening.

Ditto. I'd still watch some games, but wouldn't waste money on tickets. I'll watch the highlights, watch the AHL team and follow the team's prospects while really only looking forward to the TDL and draft.

But then again, I'm as big of a junior hockey fan as I am a NHL fan. Love watching prospects and seeing those kids go all out in a playoff series when all they're playing for is the love of the game.

Markstrom sent Qualifying offer and Mackenzie said Lack is going to be the one traded.

Bye Lack, good luck elsewhere, hopefully Benning is able to get something of worth back for him.

Yes indeed, that's what VAN needs. The problem with that is ownership/management still wants to compete for the SC while we do it.

Apparently NYR turned down an offer of 2 2nds for Talbot.....not sure if it is true and I know the rangers don't have to move him but that would more than fair for a goalie who has only played 57 games in this league and less than half of those as a starter.

I can't wait until Edm overpays for him and they get another Fasth/Scrivins/Dubynk goalie.

There's talk of them speaking with ARI about the #3. They want a franchise D pretty badly.

We need one just as badly...

Was going to ask if you think there will be a market adjustment or if someone will over pay? Then I gave my head a shake and can see that work stoppage down the road.

Agreed but they're trying to drive up the asking price. They want a 1st.

The price for Van included Horvat and the 23 at the very least.....can't see #3 coming our way.

Would you do Virtanen and the 23 for #3 and # 32 ?
