Benning added more picks
another 2nd rounder



this has to be a joke
- classic321

Top 2 dman, Top 6 winger who's a pest and Gallagher-like.

Dumped the cap dumps


Even got 1.2M retained


Unreal trade
- Nucker101

You still got a bit of brown left on your nose.

- Sayros

All he had to do was wait 1 more year. He essentially paid

9oa pick
2nd round pick
7th round pick

For

12 mill in cap space for 1 year
A very good 2nd line winger (RFA)
And a very very bad contract and 2nd pairing defender through 2026/27.

Benning!!!!

Is Schmidt destined to be unloaded now?
- dbot

I think hes just going to be left on the side of the road like an old couch.

- VANTEL

Lol 😆.

Schmidt definitely getting traded. Just wondering if dim Jim can get a 1st in the top 10.

Prefer to keep him at this point harder to fit everyone in but they'll need someone who can play top 4 on the right side.

I wonder what kind of cap space we have available now (after resigning RFAs).

Are we able to target some UFAs now?

Everyone thought moving all that dead cap space was impossible, but here we are.

"Benning is the best drafter in canucks history!"

*Benning proceeds to trade away consecutive 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks in 3 years*

"Benning is the best in canucks history!"

I like the trade. Maybe JB can get an extra year or 2 on the Petey/Hughes contracts with the extra space.

Rathbone... double shifted.

This deal isn't a good deal at all. We are mortgaging the future and our prospects for getting out of bad UFA signings that Benning made to clear cap space.

I get people want to see positivity and silver linings and what not, but this deal doesn't need to be made if Benning wasn't so awful in free agency.

But, hurray I guess. Two consecutive drafts without a 1st round pick.

9oa on an ELC would’ve been nice but not an impact for 1-2years at least. Not a great draft so Garland getting a new contract speaks of the window aka Bo.

How does this effect the cap when Hogs and Podz come off their ELCs?

Edit: JB probably doesn't care because he knows he'll be gone by then.

Left side but hey why not I guess.

He always gets his guy remember.

He's a 7M 3rd pairing guy on the decline.

but at least they're both big, physical players.... right?

Don't mind the two players but Jesus christ.

Dim Jim always doing favors for other teams.

This is the New Woke thing man...no sides

I feel a hell of a lot better with OEL than Edler. I think it is a good move and more to follow.

- dbot

Great chance yes & will recoup costs of this last deal.

OEL - Myers
Hughes - Schmidt
Rathbone - Hamonic

That has to be the most unintimidating defense I have ever seen.

- Nighthawk

Perhaps.

Free up some further cap space for signing RFAs and/or land a big UFA fish?

Landeskog??
