  1. banning spent all weekend on the phone trying to get the right deal, not us..we just criticize, as if we were there and found better deals...he had a rough weekend but he still has the summer and regular season to move players..i applaud his efforts.

      Tho we jest, generally everyone counts smithers joe to be amongst the best of hockey-fans and of men... a true gentleman & loyal CDCer who takes the step to temper his reasonings. Joe's the best!

      what hockey administration hasn't done somethings that anger their fans base?...imo benning and his crew are trying to bring a winner to vancouver...is it important that we the fans agree with everything they do?..or is it important that their proposed plans pan out in the end...didn't we all want more for lack, benning to...?...at the end of the day, they got the best they could get for him...bieksa deal may still be done....maybe the kassian deal too. the core will all be gone by th...

      Why is it that everyone wants to be compared to that chowderhead?

  5. why do people want to trade vrbata...we finally have a natural goal scorer...they don't grow on trees..

      smithers joe

      i like hansen speed and defensive play, ..richardson was a perfect 4th line centre, but maybe gaunce is ready to move up....higgins is great defensively...suited for 3rd or 4th line...i hope clendening can replace bieksa...we need the cap space...the object here is, if you give choices to cdc, you'll get a variety of opinions...thank god, benning is making the decisions.

  7. are we talking clark gillies? or mike gillis?
  8. thank god, we have benning and crew to make these decisions..
  9. i predict that cederholm is going to be a good stay at home defenseman...in a couple of years...watch for him....
  10. i can't wait for the draft, so then cdc can complain that benning didn't pick who they wanted him to...

      What are you talking about? That never happens.

  11. i haven't watched american football since joe montana played....i don't know the players down there anymore...i love4 the cfl.
  12. i wonder where ken appleby will go in the draft?

    1. Master 112

      Not to Vancouver, I hope. The kid has flies in his eyes.

    2. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      6th-undrafted. Most likely undrafted

  13. i've thinking, lack, kassian and hamhuis to dallas for john klingberg, brett richie and dal's 2nd round pick via detroit.

      we might have to take fiddler's contract...only one year left.

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      vey will be good in time...

    4. LeanBeef

      LeanBeef

      solid deal. Ritchie plays similar to Kass (minus the mean streak) and Klingberg is a young top 4 dman to replace Hammer. I don't think they do it though, basically a downgrade for them minus Lack.

  14. we have to be careful who we move before we have players ready to step in and compete...

      We'll perform some trade that might spark some interest for a bit maybe. But if the core is still aged...

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      at 76, i don't see 32 as being too old...if a player is in good shape, he should be able to play into his mid thirties...our guys are getting close but don't need to be discarded to quickly.

      Joe we can't have logic on here!

  15. the annoying part of cdc...wanna be gm's
  16. i'ld rather see trade proposals put on the other team's boards...get their take...let them float their proposals on our boards.

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      let people see how other teams, want to give us players they want to get rid of, for our better players.

  17. a lot of people are saying that provorov is the best d-man in the draft...i don't see him dropping out of the top 6...good job though....
  18. the hockey news ranks nicholas roy 18th, button has him ranked 100th...someone is screwy...

      How does Button have a job?

      Button is a complete clown. His opinions don't really matter much,... cause he flips-flops them with the wind, and I think that's for controversey and effect. Nobody should take what he says, seriously. He might as well buy & start wearin' 'Don Cherry' suits.

  19. the hockey news draft preview is out...they have thomas chabot ranked 23....jeremy roy at 26....kylington at 20.....

    1. Senpai

      Don't look into these rankings too much, they really dont mean anything.

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      they do give a broad view of players ranked around each part of the draft...each team has their own lists, but we are not privy to them...

  20. i found that i have an ancestor who was a knights templar, and another one that ordered that they all be put to death...crazy ancestors.

      John Diefenbaker proposed to my great-great-aunt...she said no.

  21. i like that benning said that they would go over, other teams player's lists and see who might fit their vision and try and get them...

      smithers joe

      especially after enduring all the cdc gm's proposals...they are hard to stomach.

  22. great game between canada and the czech's..2-0 in the 2nd but what pace...

    1. Wilbur

      Wilbur

      Too bad I can't watch it...TSN 3, really?!

      Senpai

      Taking random shots at Bure? Why????

  24. benning is so lucky that he has so many cdc gm's to tell him how to run his team....

    1. Heretic

      Heretic

      Yes, look how well CDC has done for past GM's. Oh wait....

    2. GM

      GM

      well if he listened to me they'd be going into next season with McDavid/Eichel/Strome and a ton of money for free agents....but he chose mediocrity instead.

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      what was he thinking?

  25. it's hard to get a read on who might be available at pick 23...everyone's list is so different...
