Ha! Playoffs or Benning is gone
- CanuckDon



Then why are some people acting like this franchise is on "the right path"???


When your most talented players are all 24 and under, then playoffs or bust seems to be a hilariously stupid mandate and far from "the right path"

Well we don’t know what path the franchise is on. It depends on what Aquilini decides to do this summer. Maybe he gets it? Or maybe we are (frank)ed for eternity. We should all be hoping a president is hired that won’t cave to ownership

Thanks Carol, I think Washington will get it figured out tonight. My prediction is OV will go beast mode

To be fair our 2 best Dmen are 33 and 29, and our best goalie is 29, and they've all played here for several years. Just saying.

- CanuckDon

Wow, didn't you used to hate Stecher?

Regardless, he's 25 so 3 of our top 4 don't fit the "24 and under" category

which is why I'd be open to trading all 3 for the right offer

What would be the right offer? a 1 to 1 trade for other Dmen? We can't create holes on the blue line without filling them and this years UFA Dmen are slim pickings

I'm willing to sacrifice the next season 2 to have a stronger team in the future so short-term holes are fine by me.

Especially since Dubois just scored 27 goals and 61 points as a 20 year old this season. That's a trade that would get brought up repeatedly, especially once Subban begins to decline in a year or 2 while Dubois enters his prime.

Not sure we an absolve Benning of his role in this, he's the one who went on record stating that he had interest in the player.

Linden and Owner were his bosses so it's not a stretch. These moves were not made and Linden has since left unhappy with the direction the team was going. JB states he's not trading away high picks and to stay the course... where's Linden supporting this? Like I said, gone. I'm more confident in our direction now than ever.

I agree with the sentiment but I don't think you'll get your wish unfortunately.

This story that they all have to be the same age is a little bit donkey. Name a team that had this? All cores are made up a mix of youth and veteran.

Eventually the truth about what happened with Linden will surface.

I thought he was adamant around retooling around the Sedins and that was no longer an option to Jb/aqua

Lots of heresay but nobone wants to burn any bridges. Similar to the silence of Gillis until now

JB and the Seahawks from office are polar opposites. I've read a lot now articles/interviews on how the Hawks run things, they do a lot of homework to try to exploit market inefficiencies in trades and the draft. The Pats do the same as well.

I can't imagine JB doing the same, judging from his interviews and the moves he's made.

- Nucker101


Just saw that the Pats have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds & 12 picks total

John Schneider’s a G, but nobody does it like the Pats.

2 years is good. Plenty of time to see what we have before committing long term. Too bad Marky only has 1 year left

I never said they had to be, maybe look back in the conversation a bit. I was just pointing out that our most talented players at 2/3 positions were not 24 or under.
