Doug Wilson's net positive acquisition of draft picks before 9am this morning alone is more than Jim Benning's in his entire 4 year Canuck tenure. Let that sink in...

I (frank)in hate this team

It doesnt matter
He can be sent to the minors.

It's literally 1 year, and you can get a 2nd round pick.

Its a layup for Benning.
- classic321

Sharks have no 2nd or 3rd round pick this year from two separately bad deals with the Leafs, and may not have a 1st next year thanks to re-signing Kane, so unlikely they'd be willing to part. The whole Hoffman thing might have just be Wilson recovering picks he's been dealing

Benning would get schooled by Wilson.

One guy is rebuilding. One guy is trying to win a cup.
One guy traded veterans for draft picks. One guy is entering the draft with only 6 draft choices.

Guess who is who.

Hansen for Goldobin/4th.......what were you saying?

Hansen for Goldobin/4th.......what were you saying?
- chompsey

That looks like a nothing/nothing trade so far lol


Burrows for Dahlen though

If anything, Wilson paid less for the player everyone valued higher lol.

Wilson >> Dorion

Kane, Toews, price, et al, make over 10per.
Taveras will make more then him.
McDavid should have gone max or bust.
- Pres.cup

I am curious if a player could negotiate financial compensation relative to the cap, or whether it has to be a number. Like instead of getting $12.5 million, McDavid gets paid the max 20% of the salary cap, which would then rise with the cap, but provide the GM with continuity on available funding

Wow, meth keeping you up late ?

There's 4 players in your top 11 that aren't BPA.
Kotkaniemi is only top 10 expected because mb is on track.
Don't be a MB....

Says who... If they’re Nuckers BPA it is what it is. Are you trolling or do people really not understand that BPA is based on diff criteria for every wannabe armchair scout/GM?

Oh I dont know - Goldobin 11 goals in 50 games vs Hansen 4 goals in 61 games....

Winner by TKO.....Benning!

Is that before or after the picks traded for Jones, Hansen, Kane, etc?

You'll cry about "asset management" and when he does exactly what you whine about, you whine some more....

Canuck fans really are the worst...

- Retinalz

I think it's self explanatory as it's about Benning not Wilson.

I love how Benning is getting bashed over this. He didn’t even make a trade lol. Some of you are stupider than Dorian

Rathbone does have an outside chance of being a real NHL player from what I've read.

Also the hindsight judgment isn't entirely fair. People were jumping for joy when we found out about that deal

Well it gives the kids time to develop properly in a developmental league, for one thing. JUolevi should go to Utica. So should Dahlen and Pettersson IMO. Gaudette i like on the Canucks, if he has a good camp go for it. We shouldn't be in a hurry to crush these kids confidence a la JV, Hutton or McCann
- neem55

If you are bringing in Vets to protect the kids, to teach them how to be a pro, yadda yadda - them playing in Utica doesn’t really help.

If Erickson is your vet leadership, but he can only play protected minutes, with another vet and a tough guy. No thanks, and no thanks to more of that.

It’s a trade I liked at the time, Goldobin definitely has high end skill so it was worth a gamble. The hope was that AHL time and a fresh start would allow him to improve his game defensively and raise his compete level but it seems like that’s still an issue.

In hindsight I’d prefer a draft pick instead of Goldobin, but again I can’t complain since I liked the trade when it was made. And who knows if a 2nd + 4th was even on the table from anyone.

I dont think they care about picks.

Kovalchuk is visiting them, they are going all in.
