"We want to keep Miller and we have a tough decision to make after that." Benning said there's lots of interest in #Canucks goalies.

"At 23rd, we want the player with the biggest upside who will develop into a top-six forward or top-four defenceman" - Benning #Canucks

Doesn't sound like they going for the safe 200ft center approach. Let's draft some serious skill please!!

Yep BPA, hopefully followed up with a high 2nd rounder, and still no Carlo.

Most generic statement ever for a late 1st round pick.

He's at the podium now, just passing along what he says.

Then it shouldn't be as hard as everyone suggests to get a late first or high second?

Sounds like Benning wants a 2nd AND a 3rd round pick.

We made significant changes last year but we understand that more changes need to be made - Linden on @TSN1040 #Canucks

Canucks GM Jim Benning said they will likely move one of their goalies by tonight or tomorrow.

So.....Who gets traded?

Lack

or

Markstrom

Sounds like Benning wants a 2nd AND a 3rd round pick.
- LeftCoaster

Did he come out and say that?

Linden: "We've got the transitional peices (Clendening, Baertschi etc), if we can get some draft picks tomorrow, that would be key."

Getting a 2nd and 3rd round pick is important; it's part of the transition from the older core to the new wave - Linden on @TSN1040 #Canucks

Sounds about right. Start high and come to a compromise of a 2nd only.

They'll be fine if they stick to my list. I've faxed it over to Benning this morning.

Says will allow teams to speak to a player, who is waiving a NTC before the trade is done (common practice) - Linden on @TSN1040 #Canucks

Probably about Bieksa??

That two 2nd round picks rumor out there for Talbot could be accurate. Time to buck up Buffalo!

Linden on goalies: It's always hard to make difficult decisions and sometimes you have to do something that's unpopular

#Canucks GM Jim Benning on trading Markstrom or Lack: "We have to make a hard decision." Says it's a balance between upside vs salary."
