  1. Benson is a very good consolation prize imo. I would be very happy with him.
  2. Currently NOT confident. The Bo trade was a necessary move so good to see it executed but it was a long time in coming after a year of waiting for a significant move to shift the core of this team and a whole lot more work remains to be done. Time will tell by the start of the 2023-2024 season if this group are able to successfully shed salary, gain draft picks/prospects and stop signing veterans to big deals instead of rebuilding by moving them.
  3. That's probably a fair perspective. Schenn was the number 7 d-man when he won the cup in Tampa, he bumped up to 6th as a result of an injury and played every game. Any team that trades for him are probably looking to fill a hole in the 5-7 range. The main hope for a 2nd would be for the Canucks to to a Stillman like trade in reverse..... take on some cap plus a 2nd in exchange for Schenn.
  4. I did, can't remember who it was but on Tuesday I one commentator said there would be a trade in a "day or two". Unlikely that that was insider news though, most Vancouver sports reporters just parrot one another and try to spice up the same news that they all have access to.
  5. They should but with the first contract cap it seems that financially every team are on equal footing as they can all only offer the same first term contract as the others. The deciding factor comes down to the intangible playing time, development opportunities, city, team direction and competitiveness... Depending what Livingston wants the Canucks should be able to offer an immediate opportunity to play and hopefully are on an upswing but there is enough disfunction that it could still scare him away.
  6. definitely need some guys who can play defense and punish opposing forwards as well.
  7. How do you say it? 6x6 in one, half dozen x 6 in the other...
  8. Yes, tank and all but it is pretty hard not to smile at a nice goal like that and a great comeback.
  9. Canucks are good for comedy every game. Last one was bananas and tonight is crazy legged giraffe.
  10. I agree, the tdl is still 11 or so days away so if the trade is coming in the next day or so then I hope they are doing it now because a deal they can't refuse arises.
  11. I think that this is actually the ideal scenario for Michkov to slide to the Canucks Interesting if this does happen, if it does work out that Columbus lands #4 I give solid odds they pass on Michkov and grab Benson or Smith. I look back at the bad Russian picks the Blue Jackets had early in their history like 2003 with Zherdev at #4 and 2008 with Filatov at #6 and think they are not ready for this and are all too happy to avoid the Russian factor. Hawks see a lot of the US U18 team and potentially grab Will Smith at 5. However if I am out to lunch on this and my scenario doesn't play out then they should just take the best center available, i.e. Benson or Smith at 6.
  12. For Schenns best interests I'd like to see him go to Calgary, close to home for him and his family and their new born. Normally I don't care about that stuff but Schenn has never demanded anything and always puts the team first so I hope they are wanting to look after him as well.
  13. Sure, after he is brought back on July 1. For now its all about asset management.
