  1. Decided to just say thanks I have enjoyed the experience. Best to all.
  2. When Quinn hoists the cup who does he give it to first? I'm going Demko.
  3. Ya but. H and H together all year will be dominant as a top pair. With Cole and Soucy available for 2nd pair I vote to go with H and H and drive play and intimidate teams. If they are out with Petey's line or Miller's line they are gonna push the play hard against the opponent. I like that personally. I don't wanna hedge bets with two guys with that talent level. Go for it.
  4. Somewhere Pat Quinn is saying yes, of course, Quinn is the right choice! I love the symmetry here. Good luck Quinn. You have a great name that speaks of a great legacy and I expect you will be just as great in time!
  5. Allvin's offseason vs Benning's offseason after the bubble...wow. We used to think crumbs were cakes. Lol to the Benning years. Well done Allvin. Yes good to be cautiously optimistic - but omg what a difference competent management can make.
  6. Nah that's a brutal take. He was overpaid and often injured. His impact on the team was muted by injury and his cap hit was a problem. I have had season tix for years and I watched Sutter live many nights. He was inconsistent as a player. He was also often a passenger. You are entitled to your opinion - wrong though it may be. But listen partner how about stopping taking swipes at other posters simply because they disagree with you?
  7. Nah he was very overpaid and was a big disappointment. Never lived up to his paycheck or expectations. One of the bigger Benning disappointments on a long term contract.
  8. Wow. Brutal comment partner. My post highlighted how few games he played and how much he cost. Comments about points and plus minus were only a part of the picture. You need to improve your reading comprehension buddy. Sutter was a big disappointment and an anchor contract while he was here. The majority of the fan base agrees with this. You somehow missed it.
  9. The 5 years he was playing in Vancouver he was 95 pts in 255 games and -31. He was paid 4.375M per year. Brutal value. People don't need to be nostalgic. He was not good and many fans wanted him gone. Sorry he got reaction to his Covid and vax and had a rough ride. But he was not good while he was here. That's the reality.
  10. I like Willander and hope he reaches his ceiling. It is fair to comment that Benson could turn out to be the better player in time. A lot of sports writers said this after the draft.
  11. Last 2 years Benson had 161 pts in 118 reg season WHL games and 40 pts in 30 playoff games. Local kid. He will be ready to play in the NHL in a year. Willander won't be ready for the NHL full time for 3 years. Benson scale is Schroeder to top 6 point per game NHL'er. Willander scale is Juolevi to Hughes partner. Who is more likely to finish the highest on their scale? Hard to say. Hoglander is tradeable and so is Garland in 2 years. Having too many small wingers is not an issue. If Benson pans out the other guys can be moved. Benson could positively affect the team for two years before Willander even shows up. Lots to consider here...
  12. Ya I think people expecting him to re-sign this summer are not correct. If he puts up 110 points this season and waits until the end of the year or close to it, he can sign 8 x 12.5M for 100M total. I would not be surprised if that is exactly what he does. His agent is telling him that the cap is going up so don't be in a hurry. I figure he's gonna bet on himself.
  13. He's under contract for the upcoming year already. This is an extension we're talking about partner.
  14. Brock has 311 points in 398 games. That is .781 points per game. Problem is he misses a lot of games due to injury. If he gets in shape that should translate into more durability. 82 games at .781 is 64 points. If being in shape improves his performance he could easily become a 75 point player. Guy is only 26. I think he is going to become a much better player as he gets closer to his peak years.
