He's from here
- LeftCoaster

So I guess that explains the shoulder issues.

For Juolevi , nope
- VANTEL

We'd have to ad of course, but he's a good YOUNG center

If Benning can get him at a reasonable cost, considering his inflated salary, he's worth the risk IMO.
- LeftCoaster

I really don't think teams want a distraction regardless of his skill set. Murray isn't dealing from a position of strength here. I hope JB's offer is reasonable considering the risk.

He must've got his moms build


He's 6'1" 190 lbs....that's perfectly fine for weight.

Hansen straight up considering they save 2.5 million in salary. But I'm sure Benning will want to throw Murray a pick ..............

I disagree. Off ice issues always make there way on to the ice and into the locker room. Example. His last and current team. We are not a rehab project.

It two years. He either smartens up or he is in Vegas next year or not re-signed the following year.

Dorsett or Sbisa and a second . You are not selling the farm . You do a Kassian deal who BTW seems to turn the corner

Yeah I am not trading the franchise Dman for the third line center of the 29 th team

The Buffalo blogger (no, not Garth) has some interesting comments on Kane and Vancouver, and that Kane could very well end up here. Just how much risk are we willing to take if we get this guy? and who would be going back the other way? I'm not sure you want to polarize the fan base by taking on a reclamation project but it would certainly help our on-ice issues (seeing Kane is a LW)

If it only costs some depth players (Sbisa + ), then fine but no if it's any combo of picks & prospects.

he'd be our second line center on the 28th place team.

Edit: I don't really wanna trade Juolevi.

I could be way off here but will suggest it's a 2nd.

Fixed

- LeftCoaster

He played with Hall and Eberle. Of course you like his numbers how would he have done with Higgins and Hansen

Yep, Seahawks.
- VanHockeyGuy

anyone want some pre-season tix? weekday games.....

He's a good young player, he'd be our best center behind Hank no question.

maybe, pm me.

That's my thinking as well - the guy is a 30 goal scorer which is a rare breed these days. What do you think a 'reasonable' cost would be to acquire him? would you go as far as a 1st round pick? (as was thrown out there by a Buffalo fan). For the record, I don't think I would risk a 1st round pick, but I would package something up which included a 2nd rounder (yes, the obligatory Benning 2nd rounder )

Hansen and the Columbus 2nd round pick....no more trading our own picks.

Again, no to picks or prospects but if Benning can get him for depth roster players then yes to the risk.

He has been gifted top line minutes and players. I think Bo is more Canucks style.

I know this will get ran into the ground but I see Sutter and RNH similar . I think if RNH payed for a different team his numbers would not be near what they are. He has been displaced twice in his last two years by better centers

I know you hate 2nd round picks but this is getting rediculous

If he could package up Sbisa with a second round pick I would say go for it. I don't think I would go as far as trading Hansen - he simply brings too much to the table at a very friendly cap hit (and is still reasonably young)

He made Hall and Eberle better players, not the other way around, you can check those facts at Dobber Hockey if you wish.

Sutter...lol, he could only wish to be as talented as RNH. It's hard to believe he just turned 23, seems he's been around for awhile!

Sbisa is going to be worth a lot after this years World Cup
