  1. He also valued Boeser around 10th overall and we eventually got him with pick 23. I’m starting to think Vancouver should cross reference their scouting reports with Buttons lol. When they find a match they got themselves a player to pick.
  2. Yeah would have liked more term on his contract so if he progresses we have him locked in at a steal.
  3. If we could somehow snag Luke Hughes in this draft you’d think at some point Jack Hughes might want to join his brothers in the future!
  4. I think we should just try and get Severson for a Virtanen package.
  5. Owen Power did that boy ever grow into his name lol
  6. I wonder if and how much they’d retain. I think Canucks have about 3 to 3.5 mill they can spend If they wanted. So does Boychuk at 50% retained make sense?
  7. There’s guys in the system that can fill a 7th dman spot for cheap the last thing we need is another Benn on a multi year deal. If it’s a guy that can play like a Cernak or a Vatanen through FA then sign me up. Where’s the money coming from though? Gotta think Virtanen is gonna cost 2.5+ and Gaudette probably around 1.75. Unless right outta the gate they’re telling Ferland he’s going on LTIR. Then they’ll have around 3.5 mill in cap space.
  8. I was going to say this exact same thing! I like Schmidt and you got him for a steal because of the weaponized cap space.
  9. There will be nothing to fill the spots but promoting within so I sure hope the guys are ready. The thing that sucks is we should be looking at a guy like this signing for only one year. The perfect stop gap and if he plays half as good as he did in the 18/19 season we’d be able to sell him at the trade deadline if we were out of the race.
  10. I don’t want to directly place this on Toffoli leaving but it’s hard to see the Canucks not regressing a little bit next year. We’ve seen Toffoli, Markstrom and Tanev leave while teams like Calgary and Edmonton in our division get stronger. At the point Jim Benning better sign some players to 1 year deals so we have some trade deadline capital if we do indeed take a step back this year. Sign Granlund and Gustafsson to 1 year deals and if we’re not in the playoffs we can get some extra picks.
  11. That’s unfortunate. I wonder if he had a bigger offer from Vancouver before free agency and they waited thinking they’d get more than then the rumoured 5 mill mark they were close to. When they came back to Vancouver they were no longer interested.
  12. Is Erik Gustafsson still out there? If so he could be a great value signing. I didn’t know he had a 60 point season! He is a left handed dman. To acquire a RH dman I’d say something around Virtanen for Severson or work a deal with Tampa again or just be the bad guy and offer sheet Cernak.
  13. If Benning doesn’t plan on adding I’m hoping he does weaponize some cap space for picks or prospects. Just as long as it’s short term or in the mold of getting a good player like he did with Tampa last year. A player I really like is Alex Tuch off Vegas that they’re currently paying 4.8 to play on their 3rd line. I’d rather him than shelling out a long term deal to Toffoli.
  14. I’d rather be the Vancouver Lightening than the Calgary Canucks!
  15. For 3.9 and only a one year commitment you should probably have signed that guy. Play him with a very defensive partner but Barrie probably hits 55+ points in a full season with that Edmonton roster.
  16. Benning has had interest for awhile but that was before that big Dallas Stars defence beat Vegas :p Benning is looking for something different now.
  17. Sucks to see him go at such a fair contract sure you’d like 3 years but I’d have done 4 years. I thought he was looking for 5mill minimum a year for 5 years and that was too rich but this contract is nice for both parties.
  18. Hopefully this drives him. If he can be an option that gets into the lineup that would be fantastic.
  19. Arizona messed up. That’s going to be awkward and I can’t imagine how OEL is feeling now knowing he’s going back to a team that tried to get rid of him. OEL is still a great player but is not the player he was 3 years ago. As the year to years that go by there will be less and less interest from teams that won’t want to touch that aging contract.
  20. I was wondering what measures Tampa would go to in order to shed the salary of the players they wanted to move. I thought if Johnson wouldn’t waive then they’d sacrifice him for nothing through waivers in order to keep Cernak and Sergachev. It’s happening! Unfortunate but smart move by Tampa here.
  21. I think that or if Markstrom signs with us. Once he does I feel Benning is okay with trading Demko which seems like the young top prospect they want going back in the deal.
