Van needs to carry 7 D each game (another bigger D man), Play Hughes on the power play and give him some forward min in the right times against 3rd lines . Keep him away from heavy checking forwards .Utilize his skill.

LOL how can any of you support this buffoon of a GM. We will not win a Stanley Cup under him. this team is no tough enough or big enough. Until JB is replaced we are spinning our wheels . We are going to be Lucky to make the playoffs. Yes JB has mad some bad trades and signings and draft picks, JV what a laugh ,Juolevi 3 D away better and better forwards on his draft . Had a winning team came to a game 7 with Vegas to winning . Should have kept Marky Tanev and Toffoli .Traded Demko JV for some help on D and added a cheap backup. why mess with a winning team . Add two D with size and grit. Add some size up front as well. But no lets make the team weaker. JB is gambling on OEL coming back to a 40 point season we shall see . I want to be wrong and maybe he is building a winner but I dont see it yet.

Frack the KHL let him play in Q rip it up.

No the Q then Abby frack the K

Gillis why does anyone defend or bring him up? long time ago. Meanwhile JB is building but he needs at least 2 stay at home D that can play.

I for one am not a Benning fan . But hats off to Benning this trade today made us a lot better.

Play 7 D , Quin on the Power play as QB and play him as a forward on Horvat's line

Dress 7 D have QH play powerplay QB and wing on Horvat's line. move Schmidt to his natural side, sign Rutta 2.5 mil and Hamonic 2.5 mil and Jani Hakanpaa 2.1 mil and Edler 1.5 mil Schmidt Rutta Rathbone Hamonic Juolevi Myers Edler Hakanpaa

I would take a run at Rutta cheap and a effective D on the right side. Plays big min in Tampa.

Nobody will take Eriksson unless a first is tied to it . Waive him or retire him and move him into management LOL, complete the Line of Sedin's and Eriksson management group.

First of all what are we getting ? Will they draw from life experiences and look at their failures ? What stopped them from hoisting the cup ? This is a PR move at best. Benning is a terrible GM and the Sedin's are going to make him better LOL . I would rather have Stan Smyl as GM at least you would get a team that can play in the playoffs. JB doesn't know how to build a defense you need size and meanness that can skate.

why not sign Jann Rutta cheap Big right handed and can play.

Why would Seattle take Holtby ? They have better options . I think we loose a youngster , Two players I would like to see added , Wennberg and Granlund at Center position and a third Rutta at D.

No to all of it ! You dont trade your Franchise D Man , You surround him with D men that can protect him and help him Big and can play mean.

Get Some cheap help Rutta from Tampa would help the back end .

yah but might have two cups

Two D that could be signed cheap Rutta and Hakanpaa .

Realy worse then that hit I doubt it

such as

If you are okay with a hit like that then bring back the goons then hits like that wont happen due to getting his face punched in

wow tone it down it was a bad hit, Parros did the right thing 4 games for just about killing a guy. Hits like that need to be out of the game players lives and careers are at stake

Not Skating back hard on a back check is a lot different then blowing up a guy after he scores a empty net goal

You guys are all wrong that was a late hit and high if that was Hughes or Pettersson you all would be screaming . Hits like that ruin Hockey careers no place for it. 3 games at least. And I am not a Montreal fan.

Benning the great drafter , Cole Lind or Nicolas Hague he was drafted one spot down after Lind , should have said why isnt any one drafting Hague instead of Lind.

Take a look this is closer to what will happen
