      tinordi would be ideal for vrbata and apparently he wants out because he's not playing

    3. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      why would we want weise we already have plugs in prust, dorsett, higgins

    4. Edlerberry

      Edlerberry

      vrbata plus 5th for weise

  2. i can't remember the stipulations on the 2 second rounds pick canucks get from cbj and anaheim...i seem to remember that one of the teams can choose which year that pick can be had...

  3. there is some talk that st. louis may move shattenkirk for scoring help...maybe we could move vrbata and a pick for him...could solidify our defense for a few years....paul reinhart 2

      Down by the River nailed it! team needs offense = don't trade offensive blueliner.

      i think they feel, they might not be able to resign him...too many high priced d-men....if we could get him it would be a coup....

    4. Mike Vanderhoek

      Mike Vanderhoek

      I definitely understand that point for sure. It would be a shame if they felt they had to trade him as opposed to re-sign him.

  4. is it just my imagination or is baerschi invisible?....

      i noticed both virtanen and mccann...they did some good things with the minutes they had...

    3. Horvat

      Horvat

      Baertschi made some good zone entries, that's his game imho, puck handling and having it on his stick

      maybe, i'm not watching the right thing...i'm definitely not an nhl coach..

  5. vrbata scores this game..

      wooooo. i think so too.

  6. i wonder if jb will draft jakob cederholm in the 2016 draft...

  7. this line up is close to my proposed line up...i had burrows with the twins, prust with horvat and vrbata...higgins sutter and virtanen ...and hansen dorsett and cracknell with baerschi as the extra forward...

    1. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      All that's needed now is Shattenkirk, eh smithers joe?

    3. Piggy Bank

      Piggy Bank

      she would prob know before they even offiicialy start dating

  9. i see virtanen as the heir apparent to vrbata, which in time means, he ends up on the line with horvat and baerschi...

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      WE can only hope Joe :) Virt is rapidly becoming my favorite young gun.

  10. my choice would be burrows with the sedins, horvat..vrbata...baerschi; virtanen, sutter, hansen.... prust, dorset and cracknell.....hammer and ,barkowski, hutton and sbisa and tanev and edler...

      Ah gee...let me see, why don't I just let Benning who knows more than I do make these decisions? Am I doing this right?

    3. Shift-4

      Shift-4

      i like your set up joe

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      this is just my choice...benning and willie will put the players on the ice they decide on...not any of us cdc silly ones...

  11. we know, they won't rush their young guys, so that probably rules out mccann and cassels....i would think, it will be vey, cracknell, blair or a trade pick up.
  12. willie has his work cut out for him...how to pull this group together?

    1. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      What do you mean by 'this group'? First, the 'team' has yet to play a game together. Second, its preseason, and vets don't give a damn.

    2. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      I definitely think there are going to be problems this year, but preseason is not the time to start asking these kinds of questions.

      It starts with sending Vey down to Utica.

      The Weasel FTW!!! I want one for my b-day too.

  14. if baerschi and kenins make this team, that's 13 forwards...who will virtanen and gaunce, have to displace?

      Go Faulk Yourself

      I'd be fine with trading Higgins, but not Hansen.

    3. milk and honey

      milk and honey

      higgins for a 3rd would be a waste. If higgins is getting traded needs to be for a top60 pick/decent dman prospect. Anything less and I will be disappointed.

    4. stonecoldstevebernier

      stonecoldstevebernier

      Virtanen will probably get his 9 games at the very least, maybe bouncing between the press box and the ice. Gaunce I see more of as an injury call-up later in the year.

  15. banning says, bartkowski, might be tried with hammer...and both sutter and horvat will have a chance to win 2nd line centre...

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      i'm a fan of the idea of playing bartkowski with hammer.

  16. every bodies line ups for this year, seem to have bartkowski as the 7th d-man..jb and tl, both say that he will help the defense transistion the puck out our zone quicker...that doesn't sound like a number 7 to me...he might be exactly what sbisa needs to stablize his play, ala tanev/edler

  17. i think we should start an organization, to do away with organizations

      Don't want to be, anyone who would want to know me.

  18. good blog lad....trying to read the minds and tendancies of both JB and WD...jb said, he is looking for sbisa to be a new bieksa, toughness wise, and picking up bartkowski because his forte is moving the puck out of his zone, quickly.....they might make a good combo...willie doesn't like pushing young players too quickly...so, i think he will start horvat on the third line and baerschi on the third line too with their mentor, dorsett...i don't know who slots into the 2nd line lw slot....i don't see virtanen cracking the line up this year...i wouldn't mind, seeing hamhuis and corrado starting out together ....
  19. if they can make potato chips in any flavour, why not jello?...what flavours would you want to try?

      but beer jello not vodka or gin etc ...BEER :D

      They already have a poutine flavor, Horvat.

      I'd really enjoy French fry flavor, and perhaps bangers and mash.

      I tried the Montreal smoked meat chips, they just made me want a smoked meat sandwich...talking about it does as well

  20. cisco!., the sheriff, he is getting closer....this way poncho, plom-alode......

  21. i wonder, how many posters, both for or against benning's trades or contracts, will be big enough to make an apology at season's end, if they are proved wrong..?

      I wanted to skewer Benning on a spit around July 1st, but after taking a step back and looking at the moves objectively, I see where he might be going. It could be a gamble but who knows.

      That is truly the case. Until then, let's let our opinion run wild!!

  22. i'ld still like to get an official rule, on expansion and if a team can leave someone with a ntc available in the draft?

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      that is why, i'ld like an official ruling on these rules...i know, in the past, if teams thought they could lose a high profile player, they would trade them for players that didn't need to be protected or a player they were not worry about losing.

    3. Xbox

      NTC - A player can be chosen by an expansion team regardless of the NTC and he will have to report to the new team.

      NMC - Any player with a NMC is automatically part of the safe list, and it doesn't stack with the 9 forwards we're allowed to keep.

      For Vancouver, it would be 7 forwards we can choose to stay here on top of the automatic spots filled by Hank and Dank

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      thanks for that...now, who will the seven be...?....depending on what year the teams get franchises...

  23. i hope that someone watching the canucks training camp, gives us a daily report...
