n00bxQb Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Great, let us trade one of our top d-men, our top prospect and a 1st round pick for someone who will play on the third line. Benn would EASILY replace either Hansen or Higgins on the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I wouldn't trade for Benn, considering Perry is going to be a UFA this summer and trade Luongo for D prospects. In the summer trade Booth and Ballard, even though I like Ballard his cap hit is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not to mention Benn is horrendous at faceoffs, so why you would play him at center unless it was as a last resort is just baffling. In reality, Benn would be on the 2nd line in that case, although Benn's a shoot first guy ... and Kesler's a shoot first guy ... and Booth is a shoot first guy ... Haven't we been down this road before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbriggs Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Are you kidding me? Benn on the 3rd line? Do you know who he is? If he was on our team, he would be a 1st liner or at least a 2nd liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbriggs Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's a good top six, but I wouldn't say contending top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxgoalie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If I was Dallas, the only way Benn is leaving, is if I got a young top 6 forward and a top 2 dman back. Dallas has two 40 year olds playing in their top 6. So unless you want to give up Kesler and Edler for Benn, and a duster or pick. Then don't expect him to come here.

Aladeen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't think you can trade for a guy that isn't under contract. Dallas don't have a contract with him, hence he is not at training camp. Dallas will sign him if at all possible. If not , we could sign him and pay Dallas a host of draft picks depending on how much we pay. I think that is how it works. Would be nice to get him, but not realistic much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RK7Teen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 hmmm... how about this instead.. To Philly: Luongo + Raymond + draft pick(?) To Vancouver: Sean CourtierI To Dallas: Kesler To Vancouver: Jamie Benn ______________ That would give us a tougher and younger Stanley Cup winning second line. Booth - Benn - Courtrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I wouldn't be against trading Kesler for Benn. As much as I like Kes, I think Benn would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hansen would have to be part of package if you guys want Benn. We would need to send back a good forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverStyle Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I would love it if Gillis could some how pry Benn out of Dallas, but i dont think Nieuwendyk would be willing to move him unless he recieves an offer he can't refuse. I think Nieuwendyk would want Edler + Hansen in a deal for Benn, if he were to do a deal with Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
