Benning on TSN1040 - Doesn't Plan to be a Seller / Wants to Make Playoffs


Guest

Recommended Posts

  • Mom's had a good time on the road trip
  • Too early to to say what they're doing for the deadline
  • Losing Edler and Sutter is a big loss. Looks like they are out a while
  • Talking to other GMs about what's going on in the trade market
  • Looking to maybe even add to the team to try and make the playoffs
  • Doesn't think he'll be a seller unless there's a crazy good deal offered
  • Edler being out makes Hammer that much more important
  • Hasn't had much interest from other teams from Hammer. Other teams are starting to scout him now though
  • Keeps saying that the plan is to make the playoffs
  • Hasn't talked to Hammer about his NTC. Might sit down with him and see "where he's at"
  • Says Vrbata is getting chances, but just isn't getting the luck
  • Prust has reported to Utica. They gave him extra time to report 
  • Higgins has a good attitude in Utica, working hard, helping the young guys
  • If teams call on Higgins and Prust, he will try and move them
  • Hutton has been "real good for us" 
  • Tate Olson is real smart, good hockey IQ, skating is getting better, real good season to date
  • Doesn't look at players from Gillis any differently from ones he has brought it
  • Talked to hockey Canada about Virt, said when he came back he was skating really well. Since he's come back he's been "excellent" Need him to have a big second half
  • Thinks Demko will be a number 1. Will talk to him after the season is done, he has one more year in school if he wants, but will ask him about Utica. Wants him to have a couple years in Utica before joining the Canucks. Likes the Markstrom, Demko paring. 
  • Shink is a goal scorer, want him to improve two-way game, getting pucks out on the wall, winning battles, strong to the net
  • Wants Gaunce to develop scoring touch 
  • Trying to figure out why the Canucks are better on the road, not scoring enough at home

I'm hoping for some insight on the trade deadline but Canucks brass seem to be holding their cards pretty close to the chest. Unfortunately, we probably won't hear anything new :(.

"Close to the vest".  Babies, and the like close to your chest (heart).  Anyway, I would expect JB to not tip his hand.

With our cap where it is, is it even possible to be buyers without also being sellers? Aren't we riding the cap as it is? Unless Edler and Sutter are out for the season, I don't see how that's even possible.

Benning said the injuries were long term, hoping they ask if they have a timetable on the severity of their injuries
