I’m okay with either of the following:

1) Smokescreen to drive up price and he’s sold to the highest bidder

2) They sign him to a discount contract that is no longer than 3-4 years and then trade Edler at the draft.

#1 is more likely


Gonna lol if they sign him to big money for 5-6 years and keeps Edler/Sedins/Vanek as well.

You insinuted you have been supporting this management group You have hated them for years

You're correct, I did, I support the team but not Benning and Linden.

I'm not!

i doubt its gonna happen, they can’t be that stupid.

There are different ways to dominate an opponent. Could be speed & skill, could be size and physical play, could be disciplined adherence to an effective system & structure.

The teams that will be successful over the next few years will probably be hybrids. With players careers getting shorter, the window for success is narrowing. Not enough time to draft and build a certain single style of team like LA did.

Honest question...are they? I've tried to find a good source for this (quant hockey has page that is broken for me) and haven't found anything definite.

Not trolling you, genuinely curious.

Well Benning will be gone soon but I doubt Linden is fired

I don't believe Benning is able to publicly finesse player situations...he simply straight up says what he thinks. I can't see this as a ploy to drive up trade value ("we want him, so you have to pay more to have him")...I think he genuinely wants to re-sign him!

Bob mckenzie on insider trading

Canucks have had multiple offers on gudbranson but main goal for team is signing him to a multi year contract

For (frank) sakes

chance this is management driving up cost. But... canucks.. and linden... so i doubt it

We should definitely be signing D-men who get injured on Bye-Weeks in Mexico

Not allowed and cant afford to live in murica,

Agreed, as far as I can tell they haven't had discussions regarding an extension

The Score just reported that the Canucks will try to extend Gudbranson...

Bah...Codes beat me to it...

My wife and I were gonna come over tonight and take our youngest daughter to the game, she lives in Vancouver, but I said no in the end. Too much money for poop product, we'll take her out to dinner on the weekend and I'm sure we'll enjoy it a lot better than watching the current Canucks.

Imagine if they wouldn't have picked Boeser, what a train wreck they'd be this year

I got 8th row behind the net (Canucks shoot twice) for $60 a seat. Pretty reasonable

They are shaping it up to repeat next year. I mean what's the worst that can happen if you try something totally new .How much worst can this team be?

That's decent but we have two ferry rides to consider at 100 dollars each way and a hotel.

They'll either get fired or eventually get better thru incompetence, trying to win spending to the cap but finishing bottom three almost every year

They don't seem to be open to a change in environment.
