he's a football insider.

On another note. I see the Canes owner is allowing anyone who has an upper bowl seat to go sit lower bowl for the next few home games. Imagine the uproar amongst STH if that happened in Vancity?
- Itsjustarash

He's been told by Bettman to get asses in the lower bowl so it looks good for TV. They do the same thing in many American cities that draw like crap. Dallas, ARZ, NJ, FLA and a few other clubs. American broadcasts (and some CDN) rarely ever show the upper bowl in certain Arenas if you pay close attention. It's becoming a joke. Bettman wants to expand to Seattle so he can have his 32 teams and his ridiculous expansion fees...and the league should be moving and retracting teams...

From where? Honestly, outside of guys like Friedman, Bobby Mac, Lebrun and Lavoie there aren’t really many insiders you can actually trust.
- Nucker101

Those guys have all their patsies as well. Things they hear around the league that they aren't ready to tweet or don't fully think is plausible and give the info to other people to tweet out. People like Eklund.

CanuckDon?


The only legit inside scoop I’ve ever heard was the proposed trade to Florida in 2014 for #1 overall to draft Sam Reinhart
- Nucker101

Glad we didn't give up the assets at the time. Kid is a 2nd liner, but not what you draft at 1 or 2. Just like with JV at 6 OA for a 3rd liner. In my lines I would say JV would either play with the twins or Gaudette.

Apparently the Canucks even told Reinhart that they were trying to trade up for him lol

Again it makes me question Bennings intelligence when looking at prospects and ranking then. Reinhart has always had the knock on him that he can't skate, why would Benning target him.

We'll see how it plays out. I've read both the Capitals and Jets are interested in Gudbranson.

Hearing they are offering up Logan Stanley.

Kid seems good. Another LHD though?

Doesnt that scream Aquilini? Benning speaks about skating and skill before any other attributes.

For the love of god no...

Take connor or rosolovic from the jets
Take vrana or bowey from the caps

I read that Benning said, in an interview, that he saw the game changing two years ago to more of a speed game. So 2015 or 2016. So no, it's Bennings old school mentality.

He will be fine with his left shooting, right side preferring partner, Tryamkin.
We draft Bail in the 2nd this season and we have a monster sized defense...not sure any will be much more than 3rd pairing, But, maybe they will be a nasty to play against trio.

yes

I'm going to make 3 different pizzas on draft lottery day.

Wouldn't Benning's old school mentality be to obtain size and grit? Sam is soft and skilled. Either way, glad we didn't trade up.

Jets imo wouldn't offer a roster player, more like a prospect and a pick, if anything.

Petan & a 2nd....which I'd be more than happy to take

How many more games to play?

Also, fellow Swede, and noted not a wussy, Victor Headman is a game time decision tonight after missing only 3 weeks with that knee injury

Do they have enough roster cap space? I would honestly be happy with one 2nd round pick at this point..

Several on here have stated that Gudbranson, might get us a 3rd, why would Jets give up either of those higher end young guys?
I would be fine with a 3rd and this guy;

Im not sure how many games left for him. PPG wise he is just killing it though

OVEr $6m in cap space. They could almost take LE too!
