The signing of Biega. And how the plan is to give the young guys like Virtanen "a lot more ice time for the rest of the season to let them develop".

Gaudette Celly Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yute movement is ramping up. By the TDL it will be full-on to the end of the season. Vets are heading out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think Virtanen's gonna permanently be in the line up from now on. Can't say I'll miss Prust much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having a gm that changes his plans when situations change. Trader Jim seems to have no ego to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasCanuck Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So...It cost us a 5th round pick to get rid of Kassian. Not Benning's finest moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Prust that has cleared waivers, like a WHOLE bunch of others have already mentioned is a moveable asset at this time of year. He most likely will clear, and the TDL is a perfect time to try and trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is his worst moment then we are doing just fine. Kassian had problems, Prust looked promising. When Prust didn't deliver JB cut his losses. That to me sounds like a GM that isn't afraid to admit a mistake. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameburn Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Be interesting to see who qualifies as the "kids" who will be getting a lot more ice time. If it is Shink and Gaunce as well as the players already on the roster, well, the season will be a lot of fun. Maybe playoffs, probably not, but certainly interesting. Much closer to what most of us have wanted for a couple of months. Kind of a subtle tank lol, light to medium tank, Recon size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLions Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 His comments about the Biega signing say a lot about this organization, their "beliefs" as he put it. The Canucks will become a desirable destination for young players looking for an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Benning constantly divulging his plans to the media. There is a reason most GM s are tight lipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still an asset, as is Higgins. The absolute WORST case is that we get capspace, a freed contract, and an open roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
