Benning would get lynched if he traded away assets or picks.

To get a scoring winger or good young d-man i'd be okay with 2020 picks

trading away our 2020 1st would be the perfect time for us to win the lottery.

if we're looking at UFA's next year, how about Skinner and Myers.

Sven-Bo-Leivo
Rousell-Gaudette-JV
Eriksson-Beagle-Motte
Mackewen.

Spooner waived (again)
Granlund walks
Goldobin, Schaller moved
Sutter retired

Edler-Tanev
Stetcher-Myers
Hutton-Hughes
Guddy

I like Myers as a signing, for sure. Skinner and his concs... not sure if I’m onboard. Having a great year though

I forgot to mention, not a first

Tavares only elite UFA in recent memory.
Key word is RARE any test the UFA market.

I bet one maybe even both of Stone and duchene resign. That extra year is good value when you’re late 20’s.

I like Skinner but misses games.
Myers old & too costly.
Neither work for me

NOT named TOR lol

The point is, not many Elite players make it to UFA. Period.
It's not like it's a Canadian market issue really.

people thinking big names are coming here
- A_SteamingLombardi

Speaking of Lucic...Eklund has mentioned Lucic to Mtl.

If they can ship him out of town, that'll be 2/2 on recent trades after Gagner.

Lucic and Puju for spare parts?

I guess it's why I question why people are penciling any of the 3 that are available into Canucks lines for next year

Thx much Carol well done.

lol Spooner has played two games and the sky is falling.

But I do wish Gagner well and hope he succeeds in EDM...seems to be a comfort zone for him there.

Anyhow off to the races literally...Anyone have any horse racing tips for Santa Anita today??


- LordHumungous

Yeah, save your money, gambling is for losers ask Benning or Green,

Skinner with a renaisance year and a history of concussions, all while playing with Eichel... no thanks

Who else are they going to pencil in our players suck.

Sign edler without the ntc and trade him at next years trade deadline.

Ya it's one of those things where he looks great, but concussion history should scare people off of long deals. But as a UFA, someone will do it because he does have that very top-end scoring touch. I hope it isn't us, but at this point wouldn't be completely disappointed as he clearly can produce. I am just a little tired of these bandaid guys and would rather someone a bit more durable. Dzingel is kind of interesting depending on the price.

It’s to see how we shape up nothing more than a look to see how we could shape up.

Of course someone signs Skinner lol
As for bandaids is it not painfully obvious its for lack of NHLer depth & temporary?

I think we have a better shot at seeing gaunce in a canuck uniform next year than we do panarin.

I was referring to injury prone guys that only play 50-60 games. Skinner has thta kind of track record. I know of course he signs, but I think someone will go for 7 years which I'm not confident about.

Tanks Carol

^this

Taxes in Canada suck, media sucks, and when was last time an elite free agent chose a Canadian market to get big money, that wasnt TOR, and was a losing team at that. Big dreams in here.
- Codes1087

Lucic to Edmonton.... he was the elite free agent followed by Ericsson that year.
Also you can't say canadian market but not toronto or a losing team.
Comparing vancouver to Winnipeg or Edmonton is ignorant due to the city, not the team.
