Yes.
Gaps filled. Continue developing the kids.
Next season, fill more gaps with 1 year UFA signings. Continue developing the kids.

I fully expect them to re-sign the twins.

I have full confidence in Benning's incompetence and that they'll finish near the bottom again

Don't have to cheer for a tank with this management group.

They will be near the bottom, don't worry.

I hope so but it is not because they planned it that way. Because spending to the cap to finish in the bottom is dumb

I'd have fired Benning at the end of last year for his incompetence with the payroll. If I was the owner.

We have had that discussion before ,Coyotes usually take a bad contract and a pick or prospect a year because they have cap space.

It is not our money but it is our teams cap space.

So will Travis Green be the next Dallas Eakins?

They had no veteran presence, they just threw a bunch of kids out to slaughter. Canucks only have a few young forwards on the team. Only Horvat and Virtanen are 23 or younger.

I just looked, Eakins had Ryan Smyth and Ales Hemsky for veteran forwards to go with...

Hall - 21
RNH - 20
Eberle - 23
Yak - 19
Gagner - 23
Perron - 25

I'm hoping for another tank year so cap space means nothing to me. I'm not calling for the signing of any UFA so it doesn't matter.

I thought a few years back in JBs first year they started a rebuild but changed direction quickly after.

I hate the LE signing I thought it had one purpose only. It was meant to try to find one last spark for two aging players.

This off season I was left with the impression we want to be competitive. I don't look at MDZ or Gagner as pump and dumps but rather to keep the team competitive as prospects grow.

- VANTEL

owners pressure and he panicked to sign LE.

Hopefully another TDL tank while picking up a few more picks in the top three rounds.

I too am hoping for one more tank year .

I am also hoping Canucks at the end of the year let the twins walk and find a way of getting rid of LE.

I would like to see them trade for one top 6 and next summer sign one UFA for no more than 4 years . I hope Granlund comes back , Sven I need to see his year play out before deciding.

It doesn't have to be a home run signing but rather a signing to continue to let a young team grow.
