Carol Schram: Jim Benning is counting on the kids to score for the Vancouver Canucks With a solid group of veterans in place to provide support, Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning is counting on his core of talented young guns to fill the offensive hole left by the Sedins in 2017-18.

Really hoping Benning and company deploy youth this year regardless of main camp, unless someone has a horrible camp, they need to turn this over to the young guys like Chicago did in 2007/2008 with Toews and Kane.

They jumped nine points in the standings but didn't make the playoffs, we all know how the rest turned out. Not saying we have Toews and Kane quality players, maybe Pettersson, but it'd sure be nice to find out.

Thanks Carol.

It might be better to lose a D like Biega or Hutton instead of a younger forward with more potential.

If you are comparing Sutter to Gaunce you are in desperate need of mentorship. That’s absurd. Also, thx Carol and let’s sign Corrado and offer sheet Shinky

I'm embarrassed this is on Vancouver Island. Though, some of this would be hard to enforce. What if skateboard, or bicycle was your primary mode of transportstion, how would you access your strata lot...

I feel for this lady. A couple older people did the same thing to my family when we lived in my condo in Brandon. My daughter wasn't allowed to play on the grass or draw on the sidewalk.

I just don't understand some people.

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

Brandon Sutter: 11 goals in 61 games = 0.18 goals per game @ $4,375,000 = $787,500 per goal per game.

Brendan Gaunce: 4 goals in 37 games = 0.108 goals per game @ $750,000 = $81,081 per goal per game

You could also just do $/goal - $397,727 vs $187,500

Granted, Sutters balls have to be worth something, but I still give the slight edge to Gaunce

He didn't take 1000 face offs, he doesn't count as a C

I doubt they'd move him, but you never know.

Better than what the team has at the moment, he's still only 22.

He'd be a good fit imo.

A lot of love around here for a guy who's a very average third line center. I think he turns 30 this year, maybe he'll breakout in his 30's into a top six player

Along with small samples, one other dangerous factor for comparing where Leipsic, Goldobin et al would have finished over 82 games is that none of the players played 82. Baertschi, Granlund, Sutter, Eriksson etc all could (would) have finished with more points, pushing the new guys further down the list, and Horvat/Boeser up.

I just read a quote on twitter about Benning saying he'll waive Leipsic, Goldobin and or Grandlund or trade them if he can. Is he retarded or what is the actual context he's speaking to?

Anyone know?

You should always assume he is retarded Before seeking context it’s part of an article in which he said players have to earn spots and if they don’t they will be traded or waived
