  1. you also forgot about granny. If rodin and jake stick. I think Dorsett or hanson get's moved. There could be a trade for a top 6 winger as well. JB has already made it clear he wants a young proven top 6. So if we got that player then Hanson and dorsett would have to be gone. neither of those guys would fetch a proven young top 6 winger imho Maybe hanson could be part of some kind of deal, but dorsett wouldn't get us much. Either way should be fun to watch play out.
  2. Everyone keeps putting bo and bear together when wd has stated that they will not play together. And Sutter will be the 2nd line centre from what JB has said. I also think Jake will be on over grenier. the guy is not good enough to push jake down. And I would switch Etem with burr, and see how the rest plays out.

    Brendan Gaunce | C/LW

    He seems to be a pretty relaxed calm player, like Tanev. From what I saw of him in utica last season, he showed that he has the skill to be a top 6 guy one day. Shink got all the hype. and Gaunce was barely mentioned. I think he will start bottom 6 and surprise a lot of people as soon as this season. He reminds me of JVR. When Shink got traded cdc had a cow, but I think if we would have kept him Gaunce would have been moved.People really underestimate jb If Guance ends up not becoming a top 6 he has all the tools to be a very good bottom 6. Shink was as we all know will either be a top 6 or destined for Bulgaria lol. Funny thing is Gaunce put up similar numbers to shink, and ifd you watch most of his points were the result of gaunce. And we Got granny who is still only 23 and is pretty good from what I saw.

    Why? yes hes kind of awkward, but he's honest and is in a situation where he can't rebuild only retool. and gets no credt for his first ufa signings Miller really helped Marky, i shudder to think of lack instead. vrbata was a great deal, for one year anyways, nobody could hace expected what we saw last year. Bottom line he got them both on short deals that didn't affect our cap. I think he knocs it out this year as well . Everyone craps on sbisa. if he contines fo be allowed to play where belongs that contract won't look so bad

    You know this how? "I think Calgary takes him at 6. "im prolly wrong, but u never know. If cbj did a deal with us, chances are habs move to 4 select pld and cbj just screwed up big time. I respect benning for adjusting on the fly and grabbing what this team needs. MT can be had in other forms like ufa. pmd are a lot harder to get. PC had JP fall to him, but they still gonna suck. Offense is great but that wasn't there main need. How well has this bpa worked for them? and good luck getting those guys all under the cap.same with Calgary. What really sealed it for me is the fact he has alegit shot at being a pro next year. Keep this in mind. He can play in utica next season. Now nobody knows how he will pan out, but if he reaches say Oel status, remember that even for a local boy AZ refused to include him in any deal for matthews. yet were willing to offer the best forword future stars. And all this hate on Benning. Considering the mess he inherited, what has he given up? shink and mcann? for a top 4 d and a young granny who has a good chance of having a longer career then shink, who is lazy when it comes to d. I swear i truly hate most Canuck fans. Only seeing the small picture. And u wonder y the rest of thefans constantly mock us
  11. thanks for info.I don't know much about murray, was he as highly touted as Demko? I guess a year as the starter in Utica would be the best for him, with maybe a few callups if theres an injury. That being said, if he does play lights out, and a team desperate for a vetran #1 come deadline and is willing to overpay. JB would have to consider it no? Especially since he's not coming back next year, and Jacob should be the guy most nights. It sure sounds like tb didn't handle Vassey all that well. obviously kids got the right stuff between his ears. Thnx again for the insight. Cheers
  12. " I think if Jacob pulls away from miller, and demko is ready, itmight make sense. All comes down to miller if he is doing well and a contending team loses there #1 it could work out. As far as his ltc. Its only for a couple of months, and with the baby is his wife even acting besides hockey wives ?
  13. " iI was curious. With the emergence of the 2 21 year olds in pitt and Tampa. If Demko plays lights out inUtica, till around the tdl.Do u think Benning would call him up and move miller? Especially miller is doing well and a few starters are injured thoughts
  14. I hear ya and not trying to bash you I just think th twins are so underated. lets get laine trade some vets for tyoung d and make a big splash July first thisteam could be damn good next year
  15. please what signifies the end is near. that they both are having way better seasons without a true top 6 guy on there line believe it or not some players don't decline till they are in 40s jags zett dats ya there not 40 but you get point when they start to decline in 7 years then this is moot cheers
  16. rnh couldn't be the stick boy for the twins. and even if we do land 1st overall I'm going with laine.Someone who could play with guys the put at least 60 points a year. and there aren't 2 ufas out there that could replace the twins.. y not bring in ufas to go along with twins and edler who played a great game besides rnh and ,marthews are both centres how bout the twins and laine and bowey carrick vatenen or honka. one of those guys plus a first for hammer if there is a bidding war like tsn said especialy if buff signs trade hanson and vrbata and a 2nd or 3 plus bart if need be plus retention as I'm not sure of the pens cap room for pouls or the same package for yandle all of a sudden we have owey carrick honka and pouls for nnext year obviously we wouldn't get all those guys but you know what I mean bowey and pouls or carrick and pouls or honka and pouls along with edler tyramakinpedanor replace pouls with yandle plus enough cap room to still sign a top 6 or go all out and sign demers from one of the worst to one of the best ansd all it costs us is hammer a 2nd hanson and maybe a small plus like bart or sbis. though not sure if those teams can make iit workone thing I know if buff signs hammer is the best rental available Hanson and vrbata gives pitts m,uch needed deptjh and Rutherford is also crazy please people tweak add just don't be one of those dicks who says no and offers no retort as to why hagn
  17. Was wondering when atypical cdc guy would start the personal attack never said burr is our 13th/14 guy you did.I see him on the 3rd line maybe 4th depending upon the situation. I also said if we acquireto a top ufa then ya maybe burr will be bought out. sorry to have a diff opinion then u I guess that makes me dillusonal but ask most people kenins grenier and zaleski will not be on this team next year. gaunce shink and burr will I'm betting jake is in the ahl. maybe even mcann to get some top line minutes. and sorry ur right sutter and his 5 mill contract was on the 3rd all that aside I guess will just have to wait and see what happens just for fun maybe u can show me a few times where burr has been so terrible kenis or grenier over burr ya I'm delusional so if we spot in zaleski a guy 1 month ago without a contract whos spot does he take sutters? mcann? doubt vey is going anywhere and as it is we have to many centres as is I don't a spot for zaleski as much as I like the guy. Also to etem isn't a lock as of right now id say he is doing ok when paired with vey and burr, but he is yet to score and has one assist tho he did look good last night. all I'm trying to say is who cares about what burr makes if we buy him out we still have 2 mill against the cap. More if we waive him anytrade will cost us 50%retention prolly is that extra 2 mill or less we save worth it when we already have 15 mill in cap space next year and 9 more coming of the book the year after. you cant honestly tell that kenins or grenier plus carrying 2-3 mill of buurs contract makes more sense then having our best shutdown forward who wants to be here like I said if we bring in a top 6 ufa that makes it a little tougher so lets just see how the next 4 months to see how things play out
  18. The real problem (if you can get past having a $4.5m cap hit for a 3rd/4th liner) is that there's no roster space for him next year. Sedin, Sedin, Sutter Baer, Horvat, Hansen McCann/Shink, Vey, Etem Virtanen/Gaunce, Zalewski, Dorsett Grenier/Kenins Even with that, two very good players of McCann, Virtanen, Shinkaruk or Gaunce will likely be in Utica and unless we're carrying 14 forwards/7 D again, one of Grenier/Kenins will be either traded or risked on waivers. That's before even possibly signing a UFA winger (Okposo, Lucic, Boedker etc) and things get even more crowded. Where the hell does Burrows fit in there? I'm not even convinced we'd be able to deal him even at 50% retained at this point either. Maybe at the deadline but do you hang on to a guy 2/3 of the year just to maybe be able to move him? That means at least three of McCann/Shinkaruk/Gaunce/Virtanen are in Utica then (all four if we sign a UFA). Is Burrows a better option than any of those guys at this point...? Utica would sure have a good team though! sutter is making 4 playing on the 4th. kenins grenier better then burrows? I like virt and mcann I highly douibt both are in Vancouver to srtart next year zaleski is not better then burrows. I'm fine with getting young but not with burrows shink can slide into vrbatas role let gaunce play on the4th and if virt tears it up in the ahl then cross that bridge when needed.. the lieup you propose is way to young with fringe players like kenins grenier and zaleski all 3 who are injury callus at best. and if we go with your lieup that leaves who besides the twins and hanson to mentor these kids. That being said sure if we get a pick like laine and sign some ufas then that's different. but please don't use kenins grenier and zaleski. as reasons to get rid of burr last I checked hes not even the one stealing time from the likes of virt or mcann
  19. Well I don't disagree with you I think Lindens a god example more to my point.. he had lost what made him the star that he was, but they kept him around until he decided it was time I still get goosebumps thinking how iginla (one ofd thr true classy players brought his team to centre ice to shake lindens hqand adter his last game ) Doubt burr would get the same reaction but at least let him play out his final year with us. he still had 20 goals last year ands could still get close to that this year. Not saying he;s top 6 anymore but has looked good on the bottom 6 still goes to the dirty areas and is still good on the defensive side of thing while still being able to contribute in his lesser role with the team. Without once being a negative in the locker room.. and theres no denying he still makes guys around him play harder and can still be a great shutdown guy on the third or 4th linebottom line is hes worth more t5o uis then some high pick or b prospedct he would fetch while having to retain salary who better to mentor rthe likes odf virt or mcann then a guy who has done nothng but be a class acxt on and off the ice. id keep him over cracknel or lalewski anyday . thanks for the open honrst dialogue rather then the normal idiotic comment one would excpect from some of these cdc tards that have no clue who linden or smyl are plus 1 2 u my malmacian friend
  20. I don't see it that way at all. burr never takes a shift off does anything the team expects of him kill penalty's and is a good veteran presence and has aknack for scoring big goals. maybe not like he was in the 2011playoffs, but u nedd vets to be a part of the mix with youth otherwise we might as well stop laughing at the oilers cuz that's the road we would be headed down. ya I think our young guys will be fine in a couple of years, but whats it be 30 plus games since mcann scoreed and virt has what 3 goals?and please don't use that they play limited minutes. As I recall so did bo and he used every minute wisely to me its no surprise the nucks had a decent could have been great January with the arrival of the vey etem burr line that has looked better on most nights then bad I say i still say trtade vrbata and let shink have that spot and keep the rest the same next year hopefully gaunce can make the team and and not look out of place. I truly believe gaunce has a higher cethen most think. nice problems to have
  21. Ya nothing against domi, but id have mantha Morrisy way ahead of him. Both have shown they can handle there own in the ahl. And to have nylander ehlers kempe all guys picked after jake on the list is so bush. I guess its button so it means nothing anyway
  22. Came acrossthis article frhttp://www.tsn.ca/tsn-hockey-s-top-30-nhl-affiliated-prospects-1.183391om craig button and had to laugh. Itsbuttons list of top 30 drafted prospects has Max domi at #1 and had Nylander and ehlers and kempe in the top 30, but not jake. I swear button is such an idiot. tho not surprised he was the only scout to not have jake in the top 10. I think he had him in the 2nd round for godsake
  23. Does anyone know y jake didn't get an assist? are the rules diff then in the nhl? cuz i may be wrong but in the nhl that would have been a secondary assist no?
  24. I thought he had more then one good shift. I guess I wasn't looking at just the offense side of things. I thought he played well on d and hit everything in red blue and white. Also thought he did a better job of playing along the wall and supporting his linemates towards the last half of the 1st. one thing we need to keep in mind is he is barely 18 playing in his first wj on a line with mcdavid. it's only natural for him to be a little nervous and doing to much. Not a lot of newbs get to play top 6 mins he seemed to get better as the game has gone on and hope that continues. Demko has looked really good imo so has nurse.
  25. Was thinking the same thing except he gets 2 and demko makes 54 saves. I love how you notice jake everytime he's on the ice. I think him and paul were the best forwards in the 1st for canada, tho I did miss the first 8 mins. From what i saw jake had some good chances finished his checks and makes sure nobody takes any libertys on mcdavid. for the peopol on here calling him selfish and a hot head in a bad way, I don't see it that way, he didn't take any penaltys i love that he battles and plays with an edge. imagine him and cole and kass on a line lol be one badass trio
