I think we won both. If we had kept Cody we would have been paying him the upsurd contract. We also removed a locker room cancer.

In the KAssian trade, we also moved a cancer. Also, it was a 5th

It was a 5th rounder at least.

Whatever the pick was, we should not have included it clearly.

Had to, Montreal wanted it in case Kassian had "issues" which he clearly did. They waived Kassian so they got a 5th for Prust.

Ya I don't know how they're gonna fix that mess
- LeftCoaster

We fix the D the same way we fixed the forwards. Draft and develop. D take longer to develop and in a few years I suspect some of them will make the team. Also, I guarantee 75% of the pics are D this year. This is a 3-5 year retool/ rebuild. It can't be done in one season.

Future goalies - check
Forward prospects - check (could use a top 6 left wing still)
D - a work in progress

Linden and Bennings clearly have a plan

Could have just waived him and not lost a pick.

What fun would that be?

good, I was afraid we were starting to see eye-to-eye. I'll take a top5 pick, this top five is looking good with Laine, puljhaarvi and Chychrun. I see an Edmonton winning streak coming
- neem55

We likely will be top five. Just being conservative by sayin 7. Either way there will be some really good d men available after top 5. I'm with vantel grab a forward from 0-5. After that sergacheyv , youlevi or Chycrun depending on you're taste

Other GM's > Benning

Benning will probably get a first for Hamhuis and a second or third for Vrbata. He has to learn to unload fading assets quicker. Vrbata and Hamhuis could have got more last Summer.

We won't get anything for Burrows , timing is everything

Cam Neely and a first round pick (glen Wesley ) for Barry Pederson. Still worst trade in Canucks history. Any other arguments are invalid.

You deal with the hand your dealt when taking over. Obviously a fluid business, things change, he's doing "ok".

Doing a great job with the prospect pool though

Who's 6IXGODS in the HB pool?

Could have just waived him and not lost a pick.
- neem55

Yes but then the tumor is in Utica infecting the farm.

I'm really happy that Biega's kid can now come out of the closet, oh and Carol for future reference, a splash of Booth is still to much Booth.

Feel free to include Edlers name on this list

he didn't clear waiver's post-rehab, can't imagine he would have before that.

Umm, what?

Ballard for Bernier Grabner and a first
- VANTEL

Exactly. Everyone criticizes Benning's asset management. But that move by Gillis was brutal.

If you can get Prust through waivers three more times MTL will trade for him. It's what we do.

Sorry we don't intend to bring him back two more times...your just going to have to grab him now

You want more Booth?
