Here comes the 1 year deal for the coaching staff..

I don’t visit NHL.com often but when I do, I get annoyed as fxxx. Can’t watch any videos without first having to watch a 20-30 second advertisement play.

Curious to know if it’s possible to trade Luongo’s cap recapture penalty to another team for a draft pick

Sven- Bo- Brock
Erikson- Sutter- Elias
Nikolay- Beagle- Adam
Roussel -Schaller- Virtanen
Extras: Granlund, Gance, Gagner, leipsic, Boucher, Dahlen, motte, Jasek
Top line has had success in the past playing together. Staying together to start 2018/19.
Erikson plays along side a play making centre in Pettersson, and Sutter on the 2nd line and Sutter can be insurance for Elias on defensive draws, and allow Elias to take some draws in the O zone.
The 3rd and 4th lines can look different with Virtanen and Gaudette switching spots.
In either arrangement the 3rd line gives you another balanced line with a high percentage face off specialist in Beagle and two speedy wingers with unique offensive abilities in Goldobin and Virtanen or Gaudette.
The fourth line is pretty solid too. Speedy and hard to play against with either Jake or Adam. They can chip in goals too and become a great energy line.
The extras bring value to the table too if injuries hit. To continue winning throughout the season we required depth and that’s what we have. We have bottom 6 forwards and top 6 forwards, who can step in and contribute. There might even be injuries during off season training or preseason which means this depth is just right.

@Rounoush Benning and company have said that if a young player comes in and earns their spots and knocks down the doors, management will make room for them. If that happens, it’ll force their hand. Players like Gags are pretty expendable. Granlund and Guance can be traded. Especially if they up their value in preseason games. And then there’s Boucher who has to be much much better and also Leipseic who hasn’t really got enough looks so it’s hard to know which leipseic he consistently is; same goes for Motte.

Dexter Dancs 23yo college FA plays C/LW for Michigan, from North Vancouver. Good numbers throughout his career. JB should consider this guy

There is only one question JB needs to answer. Will Tryamkin return to the NHL and is he confident that it will be with the Canucks?

@Winter Soldier i understand that, but they're not direct comparisons. Nik is at the beginning, Kov. was closer to mid-career. But fair enough.
-
ok all of you guys make fair points. But i just want to know from Benning that this isn't because he's leaving forever and more about going home and working on his game to be better in order to come back to the Canucks and take on a leading role. I don't care for all the other chatter around this situation.

Whichever team gets to pick first in the 2017 NHL draft will be stupid not to pick Nolan Patrick.
Future #1 C with elite vision, playmaking ability, high end NHL caliber shot, great skater and mobility along with great Size.
Full package and a franchise player.

Yes - issue of concern really is injuries but I believe his two injuries were different (not a knee then same knee kind of thing). Regardless, it does give teams pause that he may be 'brittle'. I doubt it is enough to prevent someone from ignoring the points you made but I 'could' see a team wanting Hirschier. Issue on him is weight not 'size' so if a team thinks he can get up to 190/195 ish they may do it. He could be a Joe Sakic type player so don't discount his impact. I would think most teams with a legit shot are watching both very closely. Could even come down to interviews and how they come across.
-
JB will have a complete book on both players and probably have issues on each that we don't consider.
back in time, montreal wanted the big power center in wickenheiser and passed on dennis savard. savard became a super star, while wick never lived up to his junior promise. hopefully get us a good player.

Time to call up Labate & replace Larsen with Stetcher or Biega.
