appleboy Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The young playes will start in Utica. That is what I got out of this. This is fine. Good explanation on where the team is at. Why they signed veterans was also explained and makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Great interview by McKenzie, however ya dropped the ball on the thread They seemed to spend the most time on individual players, so I'll start there: Forwards: - Confirms 10 forwards are locks: Sedin, Sedin, Horvat, Baertschi, Granlund, Eriksson, Sutter, Vanek, Gagner, Dorsett - A lot of time on Virtanen. Says he was kept that one year because of a lack of depth. Have to be patient, see him as a powerforward and those take time. Doesn't look out of place amongst men, played his best hockey after world juniors. - They identified Molino as a guy who could come in and replace Hansen's speed. Top 9 guy good in both ends, scouted by Smyl. - Likes Burmistrov from scouting junior days in Barrie, N. Brown liked him as a powerplay guy. Sees Burmistrov as a playmaking centre. - Goldobin, could impress will be given games, has proven self at AHL level - Boucher has a 'great shot', scoring forward. Wants to see him in excellent shape in camp, 'put it together' - Boeser looked good at the end of last season. Great in both zones, lethal from the circle down. exceptional shot - Dahlen sick for another 2-3 weeks, wants strength back before coming to NA, expects to start in Utica, get used to NA game Defense: - He confirms with McKenzie that Edler, Tanev, Gudbranson, Hutton, Stecher, MDZ are the set top 6 - Likes Wiercioch, big with a shot - MDZ finds ways to get pucks through - Biega, what you see is what you get, tough, works hard - Holm, great skater, able to move the puck up the ice, find open man - Juolevi 'will get a lot of preseason games', asked about a 9 game stint, Benning likes the idea. He's really close, want to see how he handles new body - Pedan hungry for a spot, 'we're not lacking depth' Goaltending - Loves Demko, wants to develop him 'the right way', which may include leaving him down there. Though Benning does say he could play some games with the Canucks, which would mean vaulting Bachman. - Markstrom/Nilsson split will be up to the coach in terms of games played. Sees Markstrom as starter heading in, thinks he had some bad luck last year. - Liked Nilsson in Buffalo, thought he had a good season. Big, fills net. Misc: In an ideal world, Benning would want a right shot power play defenseman. Thinks the Canucks will be successful if 4 lines are scoring. Sees 8-10 guys in Utica that could make it, many listed above. Bringing in a new coach, has connections with guys trying out, could create spots. Lists MacEwen among guys in Utica as added depth, and possible NHL time. Rodin wasn't really mentioned, neither was Subban. Says PTO guys will create competition, push guys. Asked about the remaining 2M in cap, didn't see a use for it. If anything else comes to me, I'll edit. Not to be a d*ck, but I've seen it a lot lately. Please, please, make an actual effort if you want a thread to create discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 hmmm I have to say that is one of the best Benning interviews i've ever seen! I actually feel very comfortable with the team after listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 1 hour ago, Provost said: Reading between the lines I am less sure Boeser is going to start the season here (barring injury). Also Gagner being the first one to be tried with the Sedins is a surprise. I kind of thought iBoeser would go there and Gagner on 3rd line wth Sutter. That was my suggestion when he was signed.

Laheys Liquor Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 3 hours ago, DoughtysCheck said: James M. Banning (June 11, 1865 – October 14, 1952) was a catcher in Major League Baseball in the 19th century. He played for the Washington Nationals of the National League. He appeared in one game in 1888 and two games in 1889 for the Nationals. Banning's minor league career included stints with the Fargo, ND teams of the Red River Valley League in both the 1887 and 1897 seasons. He also appeared in a 25-inning contest for Fargo against Grand Forks, ND in 1891.[1] Wow, JB is really looking good for his age! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuitnTie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Benning also mentioned he'd like to sign Petterson next summer and if his training goes right could be in the Canucks line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's optimistic. I mean in the line up next year. I think the debate would be whether to have Petterson play 2 years in the SEL or 1 SEL and 1 AHL. I'd hate to see him hurt by some career minor league knuckle dragger if he's not big enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly we'll see who wants it the most in camp and the first part of the season. There's 8-10 players who will likely make NHLers at some point who are going to be in Utica. Any one of them could make the roster this season. My impression was that Benning didn't want to say he expected Boeser to make the team (even if he does) since there are so many who might make the team, somebody is sure to surprise (like Stecher did last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I don't know if Benning got into meditation or something this summer, but he seems different. Like calmer and more in control of his thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Jim just rattled off all of those prospects names, and it literally made my eyes bulge out, half from forgetting we have so many good young guys, half from realizing we have so many good young guys! This is the best crop of young talent this team has had in a long time, if not ever. He is doing a great job restocking the pantry, and bringing in some quality veterans to teach the right way to approach the game. The competition is going to be fierce at camp. This is what makes a team come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
