Yeah his zero goals and two assists seem to be really driving that offensive bus from your backend

Don't hold your breath. It's not Benning's M.O. to gather multiple picks. 2014 is the only year in five drafts he's done it.

Dude, extra 6th rounder this year....

Nilly must be starting then.
- 1970vintage

Don't matter.

Marky is good for 4 as well.

The only trades I'd consider as "ok" by Benning is the Dorsett and Baertschi trades, I'm not hopeful he can win a player for player trade. Hasn't happened yet!

I'd attempt to sign Erik Karlsson, he's top three offensive dmen in the league, only costs you money.

Shinkurak>Granlund?

Its December 11th, he'll squander that away in a trade I'm sure

Marky is my HB pool trendy, so no, he's not!

Shinkurak>Granlund?
- Pres.cup

Blah.....I think Hunter could do what Grandlund's doing and if Grandlund wasn't playing for one of the worst teams in the league over the past few years he'd be in the minors where he belongs.

But I'll give in, a slight win for Benning there, you happy?

Shinkurak>Granlund?

In one years time, when neither is playing for the Canucks, will it really matter which crappy player is slightly less crappy?

I'm hearing Hitchcock is advocating a Lucic for Backes deal...interesting.

Have faith, he'll pick the best with the fewest.
Long live Benning, both draft picks and free agent signings are golden.

Nice article giving pettersson and boeser some props.

The prerequisite was that the trade was 'OK' so yes, very..... I think Shinkaruk is hot garbage.... I named my first born after him



Not really, same name though.

Coaches always like their former players eh?

A 5th round pick that is actually having his best season ever. He is steadying out and it has shown.
- manvanfan

Dude, you guys are delusional if you think Hutton is playing better defensively. He had a handful of good games, but it’s no cooncidense our worst games of the season we’re his highest minute games. There is no stat on earth that supports him facing top lines, he can’t handle it! Bottom pair guy, just stop!

Goldy/4>Hansen
Dahlen>burr
Lievo(already)>carcone

His UFA signings I’d say have been much more problematic than trades, I’m a fan of Sutter and still think we got the better player.

There are some gaffs but every GM makes gaffs, JB has a better track record than many!

Yes, trust factor. Coaches love to know what you're bringing every night at the pro level, it makes their jobs easier. Lazy wieners!

Sure, love the kid, however, with Karlsson you get immediate offence. Hughes may or may not have an adjustment period. We need offence immediately from the backend!

Two are better than one anyways!!

Edler/Methot Karlsson
Hughes Tanev
Juolevi Stecher

Signing Karlsson would be an unmitigated disaster. Terrible idea

Easy fix signing EK I always have said.

Why does everyone want to take short cuts? Rebuilds take time. Signing Karlsson would turn out infinitely worse than the Loui signing

It’s ironic that the flyers fan that is always praising Hextall for patience and building through the draft is so eager to take a disastrous shortcut.

lol I love this place. The only place where an argument can be won over a trade invloving scraps.
