[[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA]

So Hutton and Granlund might not be qualified, we haven't heard anything yet regarding Goldobin, or Motte, and Leivo has arbitration rights, so wonder if they have any concern there.

I hope Motte and Leivo stay.

 

i hope they tell Goldobin to kick rocks. 

[[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA]

I think Benning is confident in what we have in our system. Plus it clears cap to sign a Myers, Gardiner, etc.

 

brogan, saunter, Biega, schen can all play the 5-6-7 spots. Juolevi should get his shot to make the team.

 

 

[(Discussion) Best fighter and favourite single fight as a canuck]

RIP Ripper!

 

Rick Rypien vs Hal Gill

[[GDT] 2017 NHL Entry Draft]

I was really hoping for Glass.

 

i think Benning tried to drop down in the draft and probably didn't like what he was hearing. 

[Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?]

I live in Ottawa.

 

Before tonight's game it was a 50/50 split on how fans felt about Burrows - they thought he was a "dirty" player, too old, wouldn't fit with their team, and hating the extension. 

 

Now, after the game...lol. I've gotten over 30 text messages saying how much they love him, plays with so much heart, and one even says he's a buying Burrows jersey. 

 

I actually hate sens fans haha

Burrows is a great Canuck no argument. My issue with keeping him is all about TOI. It does come down to a choice between him and Dorsett and I have to go with Dorsett. It would leave 5 vets up front to provide leadership. Alex himself said the other night that he fully understood Van was into a rebuild and hard choices had to be made. I had hoped that Benning would be able to trade Burrows to a playoff bound Habs team at the TDL but it didn't happen. 

That's fair. I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until the draft to package him for a pick. 

[Burrows? Do We Really Need Him?]

With a young core group going into next season I don't understand why you wouldn't want someone to play out the last year of a contract/resign cheaper that is a great presence in the locker room, bleeds the team, and gives 100%. Linden and the rest of the staff just need to set expectations very clear with Burrows to understand his role as a vet and his impact on the young players. Your development in the league has a lot to do with the players you are surrounded by.
