With the expansion draft the odds of him having to be exposed and plucked by Vegas are high. Benning knows this and is trying to manage his assets. Since he was hired the fanbase and media have criticized Benning for his lack of asset management. Well, here ya go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, our players have matured ample enough to be able to shed Burrows and Hansen who have two of the hardest working four vets on this team. Hank & Dank are going to be with the Canucks for another year. Turning a guy who shouldn't be in the league into a top flight scorer on a Stanley Cup competing team is a feat in itself. Getting Dalhen out of Burrows is a major boost to the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until now they have been very cautious to keep a specific handful of vets to mentor the kids. What we're seeing is the indication that management believes the kids are ready to take the ball and start running with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get picks/prospects now, rather than lesser ones for an older Hansen five years from now. That is, if we can even protect him before June.

Yeah I was thinking there would be a dman moved, but if we don't move another forward we'll potentially lose a good one on expansion draft day anyways. Maybe not Hansen, but I like the idea of getting something now while we still have some modicum of control over the return. You're right about one thing, if Hansen is on the way out then the Canucks just lost 2 of its hardest workers. It'll be up to the twins, Horvat, and Stecher to lead by example, and only 2 of those 4 players have relevant experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine either way with Hansen... exactly the kind of guy you want ushering in the new guys. That said, I'm expecting a pretty good return if we do move him so it could be worth it. The expansion draft factors in as well... that Granlund/Baer/Hansen logjam is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
