I still pine for the days of Nick Bonino, who is a terrific interview. I don't think he was given a fair shake during his one year here in Vancouver.

That being said, I do think Sutter has trade value. His name still carries weight with the old-school types, he skates well and he plays with the kind of responsibility that coaches love.

I'll probably talk about this in a future blog as summer wears on: in my perfect world, enough Canucks players step up that he's expendable by the trade deadline, when he'd be a good add for some team's playoff run.

In my perfect world, FA sells the team tomorrow to Chip Wilson or Jim Patterson, Linden and Benning are fired and everyone save for EP, Boeser, Hughes and Demko are traded for picks and we gather enough assets and sink to 31st overall and then either win outright the 1OA or trade for it and pick Jack Hughes and then aggressively draft high risk/high rewards players in the later 1st/2nd and 3rd rounds.

Thanks Carol

Is nighthawk still two blogs back?

Sutter is expendable regardless of deadline or not. I don’t think Sutter is an impact player. If traded won’t be missed. Advance stats for the team will probably improve.

Are you still in the desert?

You work in the front office, fielding Sutter trade requests all day do you? Thought you were going to the lake with a canoe and a six pack. Get out, enjoy the sun.

Lol
He was postng every hour for 3 days straight.. then every half an hour 2 blogs ago for an extra day. I'd imagine he's got another day of sleeping to go with the day and a half he's been napping already.

Kids, don't snort meth.

Also relevant: Benning doesn't namecheck those players, the author Brough does.

You can’t allow that statement to interfere with the crowd that continually calls Benning an idiot. Sure he may not of said names, but by god he actually said he would place players on waivers or send them to Utica if they can’t make the team and he can’t find a trading partner....

What is Benning thinking saying something like that out loud, my goodness what an idiot. Now every team knows Benning is trying to build a cohesive group of better hockey players. What an idiot, how dare he trade or waive a player not living up to expectations. He tried out a few players hoping the would turn into something better, but now sees that the aren’t that good and needs to cut them loose, what an idiot.

I think you're giving Benning the benefit of the doubt.

You're more rational when you're back on the island.

Put a package together for Sam Reinhart, 25G 25A. Replaces Henrik's 50 PTS.

Nice talent but too slow most likely.
Not so sure the cost is worth it.
