Or even No UFAs and let Tree and Pedan have their crack

Everyone here liked pedans play and tree is highly touted as a potential superstar

I like your enthusiasm but I'm afraid you may be disappointed. I've never heard any scout or legitimate source for that matter touting him that highly. The highest praise I have heard is "this kid is going to be a player." He is an intriguing prospect but projecting him as anything other than a potential 6 or 7 Dman is a bit much. Kid doesn't have have much in terms of offensive skill. He is mobile for a big man and appears to have a bit of a mean streak.

like this the 7/8 spots are cheap so its doable. Rotate in and out of lineup. Adds offense and size, toughness

Edler-Hamonic
Vatanen-Sbisa
Hutton-Tryamkin
Pedan
Biega

Edler and Vatanen on PP

Yeah, again you gotta think Juolevi, Sergachev or Chychrun would have a shot at making this roster too if you leave it like that... also insures a higher pick for 2017 likely

Benning said they are going all in to make the playoffs. When I see him taking on players instead of dumping them, then I might believe him.

Yes definitely. I saw offensive skill in world juniors when I watched him. Had some breakaways even. But mainly point shots...knows how to get over to get a clear shot. But he's young yet. Could find that aspect in NHL. But regardless, big mean and mobile sounds pretty wonderful alone, the guy we've always needed

need to draft a zubov type russian (he was taken in the 5th round)... trade down to get more picks and take as many ruskies as possible...

I am curious to know why Benning is trying to get the big Russian in mow. It is an unusual move for a Canuck team to do mid season. There must be something about him they like.

Ill be jumping on a bandwagon maybe the jets? i have 26 days to figure it out. FA is (frank)ing brutal and on his way to (frank)ing up this team if he doesnt let benning deal our pending ufas.

They wont be able to sign him unless they can unload a couple guys at the deadline which benning said he wont be doing so I have no clue whats gona go on. KHL season ends fairly shortly i think so we will soon see.
