Statman

The canucks are going to have to eventually start paying their top players and not their bottom guys. It seems normal on most teams that 4 guys get paid and the rest of the team gets the scraps. Not saying it's right its just the way it is. Benning just has to stop giving out 3 mil contracts to bottom six forwards and 6 mil to bottom pairing d.

Sorry I didn't see that he couldn't be flipped

Seattle should select him and trade him to Colorado with retained salary.

If you can get Landeskog signed for 7.5 that could open the door to trading boeser for help on D. When Boesers contract is up he will be wanting as much or more. Landeskog is more dynamic than Boeser.

About 2k a year

I am sure the Sedins will make sure that Edler is back. Anything over 2 mil is an over payment so I expect to see 4.

I could see Kuznetsov and Tarasenko going there.

Money has to go out to bring money in. Unfortunately Miller would have to go unless you want to part with Brock.

Jones and Domi for JT Miller and Schmidt. Reunite Bo and Domi. If it doesn't work you are only stuck with him for a year. Sign Jones long term. Give Pettersson and Hughes bridge deals. Columbus needs leaders and Miller and Schmidt seem to fit the bill.

Heard it straight from Linden that the Canucks were not interested in him during his draft. They were to worried about his injuries. Take it for what it is.

High standards low expectations

Benning seems happy with his young core and now he is building around that. I don't see anything wrong with that. Are they supposed to lose for 10 more years and stockpile picks? There won't be any fans left by that time and the Canuck will be moved to Hartford!

Cough cough Eriksson

Nope I just know how everyone was happy to get Eriksson to play on the top line and all of a sudden he was on the third. I my opinion Ferland has a greater chance to fail as a top 6.

Here's the real question, once Ferland is playing on the third line is this contract still good?
