elvis15 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Quotes from the TSN1040 tweets: Quote Town Hall: Any time you can sit around and talk hockey with your fans, it's a good time. When you have young players and your veterans get hurt, it pushes young players higher up in the lineup Our injuries have played a big part as to where we're at. If we had Brandon Sutter, we'd have been in that mix for a wild-card spot We haven't drafted a dman in 10years in the 1st round. All things being equal, if there's a dman we like, we'll lean that direction We have a list of (college) players in the order we like them. So as they turn pro, we'll be in the mix Brandon Tanev: He's on our list. One of our scouts says the only goals he scores are big goals. Brandon Tanev: He's a real good skater, a good penalty killer. We see him developing into a 4th-line, 2-way penalty killer Tryamkin: We didn't know if we could get him right now. With where we're at in the standings, it made sense Tryamkin: His english has gotten better. We'll have a translator with him, at first through his agency Tryamkin: We'd like to get him into some games, and see where he's at. That will help him with his decision-making process Tryamkin: We'll monitor when he plays the games where he's at and see if he needs time in the minors. Edler: Well, he has a broken leg. I would think he's probably out for the year. There's 3, 4 players we'd like to get up and get a look at. Gaunce is one. Alex Grenier. Mike Zalewski. And Andrey Pedan Pedan: We don't want to bring him up to sit around. So if we know he'll get a chance to play, we'll bring him up Brock Boeser has had "a hell of a year for his first year". My gut tells me he'll play another year at North Dakota Demko: We hope he turns pro, we get him signed, and we get him started on his course of development I'll post the link to the audio when it comes up as well.

PhillipBlunt Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 All good things. I wonder if Benning thinks Edler is a dominant defenseman. If not, will Benning make a move to acquire a dominant defenseman this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Interesting to see if Demko decides to turn pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Chychrun would be just fine as well. Chychrun, Hutton, Tanev, Pedan, Tryamkin....defense slowly becoming not such an issue down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for Mathews or Laine Watching highlights of Laine has me drooling....purely on play style (READ NOT A SKILL COMPARISON), he reminds me of Lemieux in that he uses his size effectively, protects the puck, and has no problem going to the dirty areas to get the job done.

250Integra Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Does that mean we're aiming for top 3? but then Benning comments on Chychrun who is likely to be taking somewhere between 4-6. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me wonder about his comment on how the talents drops off after the top 3. Not hating, just puzzled by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Some of the most encouraging things I've heard from Benning. > NEED dominant defenseman > Still considering sending some of our rookies for junior play off run / ensure best development experience. > Chychrun > See point one? Benning prior to this point has been far to nondescript regarding our D. Nice to hear the wheel may finally be grinding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
