    honestly loving free agency this year, excited to see what benning does with the cap now.

    so glad tanev and stecher and marky signed elsewhere, looks like benning is a man of his word when he said he wants to bring in new bodies to the defense.

    also glad barrie is gone.

    i dont think we will get pietrangelo but i assume we will get some d as a cap dump maybe nate schmidt or someone like that!

    Yup, he said what he intended to do and is sticking to it.  Going to be interesting to see it all shake down.

    Great. Time for JB to offer sheet one of Cernak or Sergachev. No more Mr Nice Guy JB. F Tampa and nice guys finish last.

    Yeah but JB's shown he doesn't operate that way.  Like with Miller, he goes straight up with teams when trying to acquire via usual means, rather than sneak around and force others' hands.

  3. While Benning hasn't name-dropped Rafferty or Rathbone in the same breath as Juolevi and Chatfield, recall that Hutton and Stecher both made the team straight out of college, unexpectedly.  Rafferty already has a season of pro hockey under him, and Rathbone is likely a more well-rounded player at this point.  Would not be surprised if the team suspects one grabs a roster spot.

    Calgary freaked out after getting bounced in the post season then they lost Brodie and Hamonic. Over reaction and signed two older guys we are moving on from.

     

    Next year they may get a little bounce but in a couple years they will be regressing and we will be contending. So its all good my friends.

    They have core issues and so far seem to be in denial about fixing them.  Even their media is saying Johnny Hoggy has to go.

    So the good news is Signer Jim was able to contain himself today.

     

    Now we need Trader Jim to get creative and take advantage of some teams cap dumps like the Miller trade.

    He did say he took quite a few calls today, on what sounded like opportunities to make moves.  Maybe something'll shake down tomorrow, either cap clearance or an acquisition.

    It’s gonna happen.

     

    Benning has been after Barrie for a year.

     

    Plus he probably wants to play here. All sign points to a 4 year contract for Barrie coming up. 

    Yup, been figuring much of the day that we'd see Tanev replaced with Barrie.  If the Canucks really wanted him back they would have reached out before today.  He became simply a contingency -- they have their eyes on someone(s) else.  Jimbo determines who he wants, and goes out and usually get him.
