Your lines are? Did some of FA's 'associates' take him out for a nice evening stroll over the Lion's Gate bridge and offer him some new 'shoes'? Alright, I'll play along.... Miller/Ferland, Pettersson, Boeser Baer, Horvat, Miller/Ferland/Pearson Ferland/Pearson, Sutter, Virtanen/Leivo Motte, Beagle, Virtanen/Leivo Eriksson as 13th. Barring further injuries, Eriksson waived when Roussel returns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of one of those guys being placed on waivers is almost zero. The only way Loui stays with the big club is if there is a trade or Goldobin is not signed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory40 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Side point. I love the pride at TSN. I don't think aqua man cares what they think. If the Canucks have a good season and just miss the playoffs Benning stays. Don't have to go very far to see how rotation of GM's and coaches hurts franchise's. Just look at Edmonton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name 4 other $4million players ( edit, on playoff teams) that are also not paid to score? Here I'll start, Loui Ericksson (EDIT)There now you can see I was joking because the Canucks weren't a playoff team 2. Gudbranson 3. Tanev 4. ? While your at it maybe you can explain why Green was so mad at Hutton for not scoring more than 6 apples in his only year where he had a reasonably decent +/-. HInt: because NHL players are meant to score In other news: being a 200 foot player means being decent in the offensive 1/3rd of the rink, otherwise it might be called being a 133ft player.

Chicken. Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Man.. my faith in Benning is real high right now. Sure, say something about a few trades or signings that have short-term, or avoidable, consequences but his drafting really is looking like something else even without any true ‘top’ draft picks Boes -almost 2018 calder, finalist at pick 23 Pete - calder 2019, pick 5 Quinn - ?2020?, pick 7 Pold - dark horse 2021, pick 10 Really coming together here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is paying $4mil for 133ft players The problem with Sutter's time in Vancouver has been unfortunate injuries; not lack of offensive skill. When he's healthy he averages +15g and +30pts, which is very acceptable for a minute munching shutdown 3C. If he stays healthy, you can be sure he ill be an important factor in this team making the playoffs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course injuries do happen. I guess Loui must be praying that someone gets injured in order to stay with the big club. Sad way to live your life. Maybe he should just retire rather than wait for an injury to happen so he can play 7 minutes a night on the 4th line killing penalties... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I hope Bennings upcoming announcements involve changing our pro scouting staff. That has been brutal over the years. Only recently have they done well in getting Pearson, Leivo, and Schenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I like how Jim is building our team. Looking at how Cherelli did in Edmonton, Jim must have had a lot to do with build the Bruins that won in 2011 because Cherelli couldn't have done it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
