  1. Its sad how we have 13Mil tied up in Eriksson, Sutter and Dorsett. All self inflicted bad cap hits. Thanks Vegas for taking Sbisa at least from us. Benning better not throw too much money at big UFAs this summer. Take some bad cap from teams and gain more assets and move on.

      haha all I meant was that Bennings track record with signing players seems to be overpaying them too much in the hope they can produce more then they've shown. Eriksson might have a comeback year but he's getting old and will decline in the next few years.

  2. Id love to trade Sutter or put him on the wing next year so that Granlund can have an opportunity as a 3C. A Dahlen-Granlund-Goldobin line would be fun to see. In a couple years when the Sedins are gone along with most other vets Id like to see Dahlen-Petterson-Boeser Goldy-Horvat-Granlund Virtanen-Gaudette-Lind/Eriksson Labate-Chaput-Gadjovich Juolevi-Stetcher Hutton-Gudbranson Pedan-2018
  3. All I can say is that Benning must have seen something he likes. And considering how well he seems to do drafting in later rounds Im happy to wait and see how this guy does.
  4. Hague at 33 Salo at 55 Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen at 64 the dream.
  5. We definitely need some more good skating size in the future. We are currently building a smallish team
  6. Theres too much going on, I can't handle this!

      At first I didn't know what you was saying. then I scroll up and see the recent topics and all is see are TRADES, TRADES AND TRADES. I was like crap where do I start from LOL.

  7. We would be smart to resign them. Give them a shot and if they stick awesome, if not, oh well. Every team needs another NHL player with the expansion draft so its worth giving guys with offensive potential opportunities.
  8. Button has VGK taking Skille from us in the expansion draft lol

      overpayment by us. Isn't skille a UFA? Id rather offer that 4th for them to take Dorsett

      Noooooo take Sbisa open up a spot for Juolevi this year.

      There's been rumors that the Golden Knights will take a few UFAs so that they're not saddled with too many bad contracts and can be players in free agency this year. Makes sense that they'd target a Canucks UFA. They could easily sign Skille to a year deal and send him down as a depth guy too, doubt Skille turns down any contract or just letting him walk.

       

      Them selecting a guy like Skille over a guy like Sbisa only happens, though, if the GK's go for Bogosian over Ullmark.

  9. Hirshier Patrick Vilardi Glass Heiskanen Petrersson Makar Id be stoked with any of these guys! Guaranteed at least one falls in our laps. Really hoping for a Tanev trade and another top ten pick
  10. Really hoping that we resign Rodin (and Boucher) so that we can give our prospect a little extra time to develop while gaining potential tradable assets. Let our guys like Boeser, Goldy, Dahlen, Virtanen mesh and grow in Utica and make trades through out the year. -As lineup stands without trades Baer-Bo-Rodin Sedins-Granlund Eriksson-Sutter-Boucher Gaunce-Chaput-Dorsett As the year progresses trade some players to contenders like Dorsett and Rodin.Maybe even the Sedins...(I know Sedin trades probs won't happen)
  11. Honestly I think Goldys a lock and won't be surprised at all if Brock starts in the A. Try some other guys like Rodin, Boucher and then bring brock up with injuries.
  12. McEneny may surprise but I bet we sign another UFA D. Franson, Del Zotto, Kulikov etc. Also think Tanev is traded. Edler-Stetcher Juolevi-Guddy Hutton-UFA McEneny-Biega Holm-Pedan-Subban
  13. Honestly, how much worse are we going to be next year if we don't have Tanev? He's an awesome player but its not like he's going to win us games. In the end with or without Tanev we are going to lose majority of the games next year and be bottom of the league. Yes there will be a few more GA but its not going to make much difference. Rather trade Tanev now and sign one or two UFA reclamation project Ds like Girardi, Del Zotto Kulikov or Franson and run with that.

      Well then sign me up for trading tanev! ^

      Jim's done some really good selling of Tanev over the last few months. He's gone from "who?" in the east to someone we may have multiple bids on. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a trade.

      didn't you hear, that canucks' fans can live through a rebuild and still buy season's tickets until we are competitive again. great fans here. 

  14. Id love to get Liljegrin/Makar and Glass. To Dallas Tanev+55th for 3rd overall+ 3rd round Goldy-Glass-Boeser Dahlen-Bo-Eriksson(Because he'll be here for a while) Lockwood-Gaudette-Virtanen Juolevi-Liljegrin Tryamkin-Stetcher Brisebois-Gudbranson
  15. Glass is my fav C currently but my D is Liljegrin. That would be my 2 top 10 picks.
  16. Id love to get another top 10 pick this year. Id be happy with any of those guys at 5 and another one
  17. Its BACK! About time haha whats going on?

      I resorted to going to HFBoards. I feel so ashamed.

  18. I think when your on an online community forum opinions are implied unless there is a source. Its a community chat in which people voice opinions not just a news feed.
  19. I don't know what the market will be regarding Markov this offseason but he'd be a great guy too sign on a one year deal. Especially if we trade a vet. Guys 38 but had 6 goals, 30 assists, +18 and played 22mins on average! Would be a great player for the short term and then just flip him at the trade deadline!

      think he will stay out East, New Jersey ? 

  20. Does Eriksson have any trade value? Or is he a negative and would be a cash dump?

      It's all bad contract team material. Five more years at $6 million per; a full pull no movement clause for one more year and a full no trade for the following two years. I put this one all on Aqua though personally, not on Jim and Trevor. No way are they that stupid.

    3. JM_

      How about we see if he can turn things around under Green first?  IMO he was Vrbata 2.0 under Willie, talent that old Willie had no idea how to deploy.

      I think LE is going to smack a lot of people in the face with it next season

  21. I wouldn't do that. Tanev is worth a first regardless and you could easily package a mid first and second for a top ten pick.
  22. haha highway robbery! 5.5-6 for 6-7years seems more of the range
  23. So how many picks will Benning go "off the board" this year with?

      Well, it won't be possible for him to go off the board with 5th overall this year, because there is definitely no consensus there. And in later rounds there's no real consensus in any year. So I'm going to have to go with "zero".

    3. RetroCanuck

      Every draft has different levels of prospects based on ratings by pro scouts. Therefore its not hard to go off the board in any round. All Im saying is that Benning is known to go against the flow with some of his picks and in some cases unearth diamonds. And then sometimes you choose off the board and it backfires. Virtanen is the perfect example of this considering how he's developed so far.

      Depends on his blood alcohol level. 

  24. I don't see how there isn't room for Zuk in Utica next year. Its not like we have depth at centre. In fact he'd probably be one of our first callups for centre position. H Sedin Bo Sutter Gaunce(Vegas?) Granlund(more of a winger) Dahlen(more of a winger) Chaput Cassels...
