Imagine if Benning added vets through trades and FA only to miss the playoffs....

- belcherbd

When did Benning add vets through trades and not make the playoffs?

So you agree with Whiskey that there will be 25 buyers and 5 sellers?

Alright who layed a curse on the canucks? does it go way back when cyclone Tayler said Vancouver will never win the cup again after a falling out with Patrick the GM and being traded to new York, don't believe in curses but the events of 47 years tells a story that there might be.

Well I did ask for some trade action this morning. Really surprised that Jurco got a 3rd. Bowman feels that this draft is pathetic.

No I don't think there will be 25 buyers or even 15 buyers, although I do think there are probably 20-25 potential buyers.

A sellers market doesn't mean that everyone is buying, it means very few are selling.

I bet other GMs are on board with the nhl in trying to screw the canucks.

I wonder how receptive GM'S will be trading with a team with a mumps outbreak? #StandPat

You thing there will be less than 15 buyers but potentially 20-25 buyers? There may be more sellers than buyers. Nobody knows yet!!!

I'm not sure if it was sarcasm as much as satire.

Because they are all old enough to have had the mumps.

I don't know very many people who had the Mumps. It's not something most people get like chicken pocks is it? I missed out... where do I get me some mumps?

You are really starting to lose the plot Don, it's pretty simple.

Many teams still think they have a shot, many teams will be considering buying but because there is few teams selling, there will only be a few teams who end up buying.

And this is why we have seen a 3rd for Jurco and a 2nd for Hainsey so far.

If I know Belcher he was thinking of the Dorsett trade and then quickly realized we made the playoffs that year

More drama than the bible, and just as fake.

Speaking of Drama (queens)...

What do you think of the new F1 cars so far?

My point is many of these bubble teams may in fact be sellers. TO is pretty much guaranteed a spot and there are rumours they may sell an asset or two. The trades so far look promising I'll admit that. Jurco sucks

If I had to guess there are 12 buyers and 12 sellers. and 6 teams on the bubble that could go either way. The notion that it's a sellers market is ridiculous.
- CanuckDon



I get there may not be that many buyers. Most teams do nothing when they aren't sure. Selling is a definitve stance. What makes you guess there are 12 teams dumping assets? I got Dallas, Canes, Yotes, Avs, Canucks and Wings. Who are the other 6?

Just like the 94 finals before game 7, there was a meeting between keenan, bettman and the refs but no pat Quinn.

Not a great example. Eriksson is a UFA. EG is 24 and Sutter was a swap of veterans. Benning hasn't been a buyer at the deadline. Understandable if you don't like UFA signings but it cost cap space and not a youthful asset.

As long as we are all clear that it's not due to team personnel. We definitely have a playoff roster
