Yes or no?

Lower your expectations. No trade chips dude

Fukcing Gillis Good thing JB can clean up that mess

Well I've hit the point of Apathy. Absolutely amazing Jim Benning has a job. Have a great day everyone!

Is this Jim’s busiest deadline to date?

Three deals. Seems close?

Ask Codes, he's the expert today. Time for me to bolt. It's a nice day and I'm helping a Bro build a fence.

Right Arm. Hey if you get a sec (and Carse as well) from the Queensryche talk before have you ever checked out the ST album from a band called Crimson Glory? Kind of the 'poor mans' Queensryche but wow some outstanding tracks. Check it broski.

we should probably question why there are no trade chips given the circumstances no?
- Codes1087

For sure. But complaining about a lack of Sutter trade is...well maybe not dumb but perhaps a waste of time

Lets be honest, we all knew Sutter wasn't getting traded. The guy is in the last year of his 4th year with the Canucks, and is finally having a somewhat decent year, but no one is taking his contract if 50% isn't retained, and probably dont really care to get him for a run anyway.

It circles back to the fact, that all we have to offer this deadline, as sellers who are poised to miss the playoffs and not be competitive for 2 years, is dangling the likes of
Sutter/Benn/Gaudette/Virtanen as bait for teams, because this is literally all he can dangle with all the clauses and awful contracts he has signed.

Benning is a man with no plan

everyone is just so complacent with mediocrity. The bar is literally so low, that obtaining a 6th is a win. That is literally the state of this franchise and management lol
- Codes1087

lol what did you expect for our scraps?

Gaudette gets Highmore which is basically a 5th-6th.

And we got a 6th for Benn isn't picks what you wanted? lol?

you shut your dirty pirate mouth right now

Washington paid a HUGE price for Mantha.

Strong chance the St Louis/Minnesota game tonight is postponed in the aftermath of the police shooting.

NHL has made it official postponed

Get picks! (frank) you Benning! What only a 6th! WTF! I wanted a 5th

Got a 5th, just gave up a 4th to get it.

No we got a 6th, a 5th and gave up a 4th. We gained one pick. At the end of the day the TDL is a huge win because Gaudette is gone

Is this Jim’s busiest deadline to date?

Does Van not have Raffy and Chatfield already not playing? Why would they need Bowey?

The cop said he thought he grabbed his taser, but it was his gun. Smart.

- CanuckDon

he got a single pick, and traded down for a reclamation.

Everyone is hyper-focused on what he did or didnt do today, but fail to recognize the bigger picture, which is, EVEN if he wanted to do more today (which I imagine he did), he handcuffed himself with such poor roster construction/management, that he really couldn't.

And then when he can't, and people complain about it, apologist come in with:

"temper your expections"
"he didn't have anything to dangle"
"pandemic"
"the players got covid, no one wants them"

the fan base is taking a page out of the Canucks roster of the last 10 years, just so soft lol
