Dante Fabbro has been mentioned as possibly being available, Nashville apparently likes Gaudette?
- VanHockeyGuy

Gaudette shouldn't get Fabbro. I still think some rate Fabbro a little too high but he is still young.

I've seen Nashville play a few times lately and would I take Fabbro for Gaudette straight up sure.

For me Fabbro is still behind OJ in everything except for maybe his ability to turn when defending.

You'd have to add to Gaudette for sure, I'd be okay with Fabbro, however JB should be focusing on expiring contracts to move first though.

Gaudette is an expiring contract.

Yup.
I think the Canucks have seen enough of him, but I agree, with what you mean, they need to try move any of Pearson, Benn and Sutter first.

Package Gaudette up with someone.

I would like to see Vesey moved as well. He is a UFA and would be nice getting a 5th round pick for a waiver scrap.

Unfortunately, JB is trying to re-sign all the expiring contracts

Fabbro would be a good add as a young RHD. If they could add him AND Fluery or Cernak in the offseason, that'd be a solid base for the defense.

You need to cheer up Bloated...maybe spin some Cream?

damn you! Just spent the last hour in the YouTube vortex.

Have you heard of percussionist Steve Gadd? Good stuff. Just listened to some of his stuff on Steely Dan’s Aja. Hate SD but got to admit the Aja album is really well produced and the recording is top shelf. Musicians at their very best.

Yup, Fabbro or Cernak. Either way it's not going to be cheap.

Cernak is very wishful thinking, IMO, but Cal Foote might be more realistic. Which would be fine by me.

I really haven't seen Cal Foote play since juniors. TB plays Carolina tonight will be a good test.

- VanHockeyGuy

I think if the team is going to add, they need to get better in certain areas. You're are paying young guys price to acquire even though you can probably get his quality for cheaper if you go with a more experienced player.

- VanHockeyGuy

Definitely not, but I think it's worth the push to solidify the back end.

(though make those trades in the summer)

- Reubenkincade

Vesey should get a 3rd. He has been traded for a 3rd twice now, why change that.

I only seen him once this season but he looked fine. I don't think he will be a big point producer, more of a minute-muching, hard minutes type, but we badly need someone like that, with size.

Yup, get this season over with and move on. Plenty of things to fix with this team.

That would be fantastic.
I am only guessing, but I think if Benning does move some players, it may be similar to when Vanek got traded.
Player in, player out

Ya, assuming it will be like that. Maybe get a couple picks from Sutter and Pearson if they retain, but for the most part it's going to be shuffling people

I hope not. He needs to find something that has the possibility to be worth more than what he is trading away for. Even if it's a late round pick. He has to give himself the chance to win the trade more often.

Hopefully someone will oversee any moves JB makes.
