I was listening to an Ian MacIntyre interview earlier, he was talking about the need to keep a couple spots open for new contracts, to sign college ufa's.... I think we are at 48 contracts right now and many teams are maxed out at 50.

So there is a good chance if we move a contract out, we will likely be taking one back.

Does anyone have a list of the top College UFAs this season? Would be nice to add a Dman. Also Jimmy Vessy from the Preds is available it looks like he wont be signing.

I guess if Rodin is healthy we could add him for the playoff push especially if we can deal Vrbata.

any chance we will see this next season?

Edler Tanev
Hutton Sbisa
Pedan Biega

Wondering if Pedan will even be here? With the nice savings on Biega and Hutton, there should be a little extra money to splurge on a ufa dman.

Pedan is what they need more of; if he can play decent in his own end he's got a good shot at sticking.

As Vantel mentioned, there's a chance a Sergachev, Juolevi or Chychrun plays their way onto the spot ahead, maybe even Trymakin. I do think JB makes a move to take Hutton out of the top 4, let him develop and also just gives us more depth.

.......there's no playoff push, best come to grips with that now

Who cares, they both stink up the joint on more occasions than not. Bulldog is a good depth guy because he competes in puck battles and his transition game is decent.

I was tip toeing around the issue of Benning is handing out his contracts for next year to the personnel they have interest in. Anyone else on the current roster with no contract for next year will probably not be getting one.

hey look, something we can agree on

Iain MacIntyre on Prust: "I'd be stunned if he's picked up. #Canucks were willing to eat salary & they've been trying to trade for a while."


Tough market out there, not as many willing GM's to pay for experience in a tight cap world.

And our UFAs are not attractive

haha if we had it my way we would be in 30th right now

#Canucks prospect Brock Boeser named the @TheNCHC Rookie of the month


Benning

Now all you need to do is accept that Edlers only value to this team is as a trade chip, and we can hang out at the woodpile and sing songs ...all is forgiven

Change, it's a process.

They don't deserve one quite frankly.

He looks like he has permanent eye liner on

Don't care about 30th. Bottom seven will get us a great piece. If we can get a first between 10-20. This will be an awesome draft for us.

curious to see Wideman traded, see what the market is like.

I'm not against trading him in order to tank, I'm against the foolish notion that he is not our best d-man by a wide margin. When you trade your best d-man away, you aren't going to win more games. #top5pick #pumpkin4chychrun

How do you think Prusts fiancé is going to react to him being sent to Utica? On one hand he's very close to Montreal now. On the other...she's not with a higher profile NHL player anymore. Should make for an interesting few episodes on Hockey wives eh?
- Bullfrog77

I suspect that she is more concerned that he has been sleeping with waitresses in YAletown the last couple months.

Not so sure he's going to see the ice again this year....refs are out for blood and they carry a big stick in this fight.

Benning: "I've had calls on McCann, Virtanen, Boeser, & Demko. We're not moving them. They're our next core group." #Canucks

Yup....grab a d man then a big centre man

My goal is the complete rebuild and switch to the new core in as short a time period as possible. Moving Edler is the fastest way to do this....moving the Sedins would be the other but I don't see that as viable . Atleast not for a couple seasons anyway.

Pedan is what they need more of; if he can play decent in his own end he's got a good shot at sticking.
- LeftCoaster

Absolutely. He is waiver eligible and definitely making the team. He has way to much talent to risk losing him. Good skater, rocket for a shot and a mean bastard

- Bullfrog77

He could be a great 4 th line Centre for years
