I say that only because I doubt A high pick will not decide the outcome of our rebuild. Gaudette is like finding A needle in A Haystack. I think Vaneck has played well comes cheap and this would go a long way in deciding if he comes back. I think A package of him and maybe Tanev or Hutton is more feasible then him by himself. Unless we get A Grabner type offer. Cheers. He's only coming back if we re-sign the twins. If we re-sign the twins, we don't have room for Vanek. Also sounds like he wants term and an NTC. All that adds up to us not likely re-signing Vanek FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless JB is confident that all the young kids will step right in and play like Brock. I doubt that he is willing to bank on that. The twins are still contributing as second line players, as is Vaneck. The young kids I think to make it. Just don't see JB leaving them to be the sole contributors right away. As for Vanecks demands. I have heard zero about that. Given he keeps signing one-year deals with clubs, I think you might be wrong on that. Just my opinion.

Even if he's open to a 1 year and no NTC, we don't have the roster room if we re-sign the twins. It's just not meant to be. I'd welcome him back if they retire but he doesn't sound like he has much interest in returning without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I like what 1 poster mentioned about Anaheim and Maxime Comtois. I wonder how they value him? Who has more value Comtois or Max Jones? Could we get a prospect like that back from Vanek vs a pick? Probably not eh!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Even if we got 24 yr old Welinski a rhd for Vanek that might be worth it if offered to us. Putting up good points in the A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 2nd full year out of College, so hard to say why he hasn't cracked the NHL. Sounds like Carlyle likes Bieksa where as Duck fans would rather see Welinski or another D over Bieksa. If we were offered Welinski and a pick we have to take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said along the lines of he would love to come back if the twins come back because the team will not be competitive without them. As for roster space. I would rather see guys like dowd gags Gaunce gone before those 3, as long as they all do not have any type of NTC. I think Gaudette, Petterson Dhalen, have A better shot of filling those 3 spots. freeing up room to keep Vaneck and the twins. It's A real pickle. We might end up with one of the top 3 forwards in the draft, who I assume would all be NHL ready for next year. as may Lind.And JB might even acquire or sign Kane at some point. Thing is JB won't know what rooks will make it until they actually play next year, so if he lets the twins and Vaneck go and the rooks need time in Utica, our depth will be shot. We will see the like of Chaput's and Megnas again, and nobody wants that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Check out this Germany vs Russia game folks! Germany takes the lead with 3 minutes left in the 3rd. Russia ties it on the pk with a minute left. Germany nearly scores on a drive to the net with 10 seconds left. Heading to OT baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Either one of the gms is trying to use media as a negotiating tactic or that benning is being lowballed. If this is the case that team can kiss their playoff run good bye. I am expecting a trade similar to grabner trade the very least, if not I will be happy if jb kept Vanek. Vankek been an offensive force for us despite 13 minutes of ice time , expierence playing against top lines, an offensive weapon for any team wishing for a playoff push. Rick Nash my ass, that is one guy that vanishes in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Benning wants quite a bit, but teams have cheaper options for later picks if JB wants too much. Take the first reasonable offer and be done with it. He was a 1 yr rental a mid round pick or prospect is a return, better than him walking for nothing. Look how good that NYR GM is at getting value though....damn!

Think it was a bad trade for Boston, but it is Boston so I am kind of happy they overpaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
