  1. I think you're just hoping from a Canucks point of view on this one, but it makes less than zero sense on any level as a Senator.
  2. I agree 100%. They closed out the season playing great hockey with their youth starting to get it and take the lead. They already have several more young players ready to step up, not to mention the 3rd and 5th overall. It wouldn't be the first time a struggling team made a couple finesse moves and blew the predictions out of the water. The Sens will be a pretty decent team this year or next. They are not taking Eriksson for anything in the world except Petey or Hughes in a cap dump, so forget that nonsense.
  3. Doesn't make sense, and they're not attaching Virtanen to get rid of that contract either … just so you know. lol
  4. I bet you someone takes a chance on him after his comeback to hockey and life last year.
  5. Hughes really going to scare some people after shooting up 1 ft 4 inches, especially if he's still got the same speed.
  6. Another swing and an overly sensitive miss. Wow, get over it dude. Incessant whining no matter the cause does not do any good for anyone.
  7. OMG, how tightly wound are these guys? They must be just doing crazy tricks in their own minds just to justify the endless bashing, and yet still keep it a narrative. Like really MS must lift weights 8 hours a day and scream Benning hatred into the mirror non-stop!
  8. Something about substance and a reference comes to mind.
  9. There's a lot of decisions and a million different ways it could play out. The following are guys Benning could either keep or get rid of and there is good logic both for and against all of those decisions based on the entire transformation and objective. UFA's Toffoli Markstrom Tanev Stetcher Leivo Fantenberg Potential trades Virtanen Demko Pearson Roussel Sutter Gaudette Benn Like to get rid of their cap ... and them Eriksson Baertschi Poor guy ... could throw a wrench in JB's plans (adaptability) Ferland In my mind Benning will go one of two ways and I believe he'll go the second. Firstly, he could trade Demko or just let Markstrom walk leaving us with one starter moving forward. Risky either way. If he lets Marky walk he could sign a cheap goalie (Dominguez) to a contract giving us real good cap savings for a year. Otherwise Marky and the same backup costs considerably more. About $4 - $5 mil. He could then spend that money on a Toffoli, or Tanev. The one problem with that is that is if the plan succeeds Demko will put us in the same situation shortly. However, I think he'll keep them both as he values important hockey fundamentals such as superb goaltending, something we don't have to worry about right now. I can't really see him gambling at this stage with this developing core since an off year with a fledgling goalie going into the expansion draft could really paint a murky picture. In addition, if an exposed goalie actually gets picked, maybe that protects a Lind or Juolevi which could really help us in the future. Either way, I don't see Benning being so bold but he could do some radical things. Trade Demko (Stock risen) Trade Virtanen Trade Roussel Trade Sutter/Pearson (one or all for a younger RD) Let Tanev go (keep him if we can though ... a little worried about Hughes on his own) Let Stetcher go Let Leivo go (going to get hurt again) Let Fantenberg go (Unfortunately as I like him) Sign Markstrom Sign Toffoli Sign a #6 D, Bottom 6 player (C), and/or Promote from within Either way this team could have a different look and I'm hoping Jimmy can pull something cool off.
  10. hey old guy2288, they acted on the side of caution to deal with an unheralded situation in over a century ... deal with it, also you're repeating yourself
  11. We couldn't get the puck out of our own zone for more than ten minutes, at least once, in each of the last 3 games.
  12. For how good he is supposed to be at defence he gave an awful lot of pucks away and made a lot of bad mistakes in the playoffs. I would hope we could better but realistically we probably can't
  13. Louie at $6 and Baer at $3.3 are both massive CAP dumps.
  14. I'd really like to thank Wilfred squamfan and coachboy2288 for being the the most obtuse, horrible, disgusting, and brutal (fans) in the world. Absolute freaking garbage from those guys. It makes me embarrassed to be associated with the rubbish theses guys present. It almost makes me embarrassed to be a Canucks fan. i would not walk across the street to lend them a hand if their house was on fire or if they were bleeding in the street. I hope they burn in hell.
  15. Remember superman Wilfred posting this team is absolute garbage in game 5? What a goofy name for an old fuddy duddy.
  16. For some reason we're looking absolutely gassed. I thought we were young. Well we were looking gassed.
