poet Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I like this trade, especially if JB is eyeing re-signing Toffoli. That would be a pretty solid top 6 all of a sudden. In order to get there, some pain will have to be applied. I’ve said all along that Jake should be packaged with Loui to offload that cap killer. After Jake’s season, I could see Ottawa biting on that. Next year would be no problem, then cap-wise. The year after gets a bit sticky, but it could be massaged, particularly if the cap goes up a bit. Roussel will eventually have to be moved on, Sutter will eventually be off the books, and Demko will have to go too. After Markstrom’s year, you can’t really afford to not offer him a healthy extension. I’m also hoping JB can get Edler to re-sign a more age-appropriate contract after this one expires... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else that Toffoli trade looks really bad, and i'm not sure Benning survives if the team misses the postseason. JB has almost completed the perfect farm system set up.. Hoglander, podolzkin, Rafferty OJ Tryamkin MacEwan Bailey Breisbois all within reach of NHL positions , and the team core we have now either by drafting or trading.. This city has never seen something established like this. its not just about today,, it’s what’s coming in 3 years and the versatility of attrition to restock when youth pushes good vets of value out for fresh picks. Balance.. we could possibly be in playoff contention for the next 5 years and on. Benning will quite possibly go up in the ring of honour with his retired Canucks Jersey before he retires as Gm in Vancouver. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) I can’t believe Tyler had mono and only won one Stanley Cup. Like where’s the consistency in that, right? This team has too many Tylers now. Might as well call us the Vancouver Tylers. You know who’s known as Mister Consistent? Tyler Madden. Sweet Gord we lost a phenom. The greatest player to be traded away since Cam Neely. Sweet lord what happened. Edited February 19, 2020 by PhillipBlunt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that there's some good things that are happening with the organization. Höglander, Podkolzin, Rafferty, Juolevi, Tryamkin, MacEwen, Brisebois. I hope that this is the beginning of several years of playoff runs, and eventually a run and winning the Stanley Cup. If that were to happen, Benning automatically becomes greatest GM this franchise has ever known. One can only hope and wish! Let's see how this season goes first.

Can't see Benning parting ways with Virtanen. He's coming into his own. I think he would rather lose Tanev, even Stetcher than give up Jake. He's your ideal versatile forward who can play up and down the roster. Ericksson we may just have to carry on this roster until his deal expires. 2 more years right? And then the nightmare is finally done and over with. By far the worse contract in recent Canucks memory. He's been an absolute disaster. Sutter's been good, though his contract is overpaid. I honestly at this moment, am ready to lose Tanev and Stetcher, Sutter and Benn. How much cap space will that free up to sign Jake, Markström and Toffoli?

Popular Post WHL rocks Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 We gave up our 4th best prospect and a 2nd for a darn good top 6 scorer who's won a Cup. Good trade turns, into great trade if Toffoli re signs here. Or the Pearsson Horvat Toffoli line do something special in playoffs and they go on a 2 or 3 round run. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of only two I can name and two or three I many have known but forgot. So let’s say 10 controlling wives. Let’s say there are 10 wives that hold their man by the balls. That’s 1.4% of players. That’s 1.4% chance Toffoli doesn’t sign with the Canucks because of his wife. #analytics !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev, Stetcher, and Benn and replace them with what? That is half of our D - how will that save cap space for other purposes? One way or another that D will have to be replaced and Stetcher and Benn, at least, are relatively cheap. Even replaced internally, say by Tryamkin, he will cost as much as S and B. And Tanev, for what he does, is middle of the cost range. Agreed on Jake, though, he is exactly the kind of forward we need in the mix - young, hard shot, strong skater, physical, and years still,left ahead of him. He has improved each of the last two years, and looks like he is still capable of more upward progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Apart from our injuries, Travis Green must be grinning big.. I beleive Motte is skating, MacEwan should get a steady rotation. and still the possibility , albeit longer shots,. of Boeser, Leivo and Ferland in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t argue with those numbers, I’m sold, he’ll resign! LA and Anaheim are rebuilding, San Jose looks to be going that way. Canucks are a solid option for him to play close to his wife and continue his chance at winning another cup. This is a good trade now, and a great one if he re-signs...which by your math means we have a 98.6 % chance of doing so.

Popular Post Gator Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 Anyone thinking/wanting Benning fired is out to lunch. How can you not see the GM skills he has. His drafting alone is enough to keep him. Add to the fact hes willing to make these kind of moves for playoffs should excite you. Toffoli is in his prime and has been a thorn in our side for years. Then you have the homerun Miller trade. This guy has good eye for talent and opportunity.. YOU DONT FIRE A GUY LIKE THIS. Who cares if we missed the playoffs. Atleast he did his best and I can live with the result good or bad 3 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
