Why kind of package would Columbus offer for Duchene? Just curious why you say CBJ dosent need him? Very talented player

Add it to the long list of Bennings great trades lol.

I would certainly hope not, Demko has been playing great in the AHL. It would be a massive mistake rushing him in this soon, ala Virtanen, Hutton and McCann

Sweet baby infant Jesus please let Miller get traded to Dallas, Let Eklund be right this time.

He's exactly what they need, whoever says otherwise doesn't get it.

Dallas has two overpriced aging goaltenders on a sharp decline, so hey, why not add another, right?

I could understand them looking to add some key role-players or depth guys, but why would they mess with such a good thing ?

CBJ is like a well-oiled machine right now; they're straight up scary. Tortorella has his pieces in place playing his system the way he wants it, so don't fix what isn't broken.

things come in 3's


fisher, michael and blank

Why is Benning bashed so much in here? There have been a couple head scratchers yes. But there have been a lot of positives too.

This should be fun.

it's not like he traded taylor hall for larsson

Miller, Hansen + Eriksson for Seguin + Niemi is a deal I can see being made.

Seguin was traded for Eriksson before.

I am not interested in Duchene in Buffalo. I would go for Landeskog though, but I am not willing to pay the High Price to get him.

Dallas sends a goalie to Vancouver?

I could see something like miller for niemi, a conditional 2nd and one of nemeth/olesiak/johns.

Though, I think Rutherford beats benning to the punch and fleury ends up in dallas.

Miller to Dallas??
- LordHumungous

Why would Dallas want another washed up has been. They have that now. And Miller would not help get them to the playoffs. That ship has sailed

That's what Ek does on here. Talk about washed up has beens as if they're relevant anymore. Doan, Iginla, Vrbata, Miller...

1) Vancouver hasn't won a Stanley cup since they beat the Senators (101 year FAIL but no one remembers so it doesn't count anyways)
2) The past history is all the current GM's fault (because the average Vancouver fan has an attention span of 2.5 minutes = time taken to read half of the last headline)
3) Benning is the current GM

Thus - Benning is an EPIC FAIL and must go immediately so they can get an even greater EPIC FAIL to replace him.

I would not expect Ek to know the history of the relationship between Dallas Ownership and Vancouver Ownership... but he should. I think the words "Over My Dead Body" are being muttered in two cities today.

Ek doesn't watch Western Conference teams.

Pretty obvious that whomever turns their offer of a 3rd into a 2nd at the LTD will "win" the Miller Sweeps... but Miller will only to go Anaheim, San Jose or Los Angelas.

Cause it is pretty is pretty messed up to think that Galardi and Aquilini would ever do anything that has the chance of benefiting the other after Aquilini screwed him out of an Ownership partnership in Vancouver.

Again... Ek..... you should know that.
