      They are coverting Markstrom into a sniper, gotta find a role of the team for him somehow right?

      I think Sestito would be a much better option than Dorsett if we're looking for our fourth line to score and provide offence, otherwise I'd go with Dorsett

  2. on twitter, radio 1130, says that vey will play this year for 750.000

      Won't trade Eriksson could get rid of 4.2 million cap hit in a better way.

    3. TimberWolf

      TimberWolf

      We don't have enough cap space left to take any contracts from cap-strapped teams

    4. King Heffy

      We do considering we won't be carrying 3 goalies and Hansen or Higgins would likely be going back.

  5. if the canucks pick up anyone else, it will have to be through trades...dollar for dollar...

      So is Corrado still on the bubble then.. moving back and forth from Utica, or does he stick & play?

    3. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      I'd give Corrado another year of Utica + call-up duty, personally.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      there is a spot for corrado...it's the forwards i'm talking about.

  6. i wish there was a site where you could just talk about hockey and what linden and benning are trying to achieve here...does anyone know of a site like that?

      @timber - it's just tiring hearing all the people that want a scorched earth rebuild a la Buffalo when it isn't possible with (and probably not a good idea anyway) all the NTCs. If the Canucks went that way we'd be TERRIBLE until the picks reach their prime in 6+ years. So bad it'd make us yearn for the mid 80s. Then, after all of that are precious picks in their prime would be 1 year away from UFA and the whole process could start over.

      The most interesting thing about this is Timberwolfs post.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      they are not going to achieve everything they want, even in one year let alone i week...by october, we may see more things happening....

  8. we've sure lost a lot of our elite speed....kesler, booth, weise, raymond, schroeder....only hansen left...we used to be one of the fastest teams

      fast is good but it doesn't mean you will last...youth is the way to go!

      Carl's Jn

      i know what your saying... i missed having raymond and grabner and hansen when they where all on the team... i remember so many crazy shoot out games with the ducks and kings...

    4. Carl's Jn

      Carl's Jn

      one particular 8-7 win against the ducks.. raymond and grabner and hansen where unbelieveable...

  9. boston needs to move players...maybe benning can talk smith and krug to come here...

      can see boston shipping loui eriksson off, he might be a good fit for our 2nd line.

    3. TheOgRook

      TheOgRook

      Or you could put Ericsson on the line that won Sweden a gold at the Wc lol

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i think benning gets 2 players from boston...

  10. willie's stint coaching in the ahl, bodes well for knowing possible talent in that league that could become our property.

  11. i read that chicago were prepared to move lw jeremy morin, oduya and leddy.....morin has just made the hawks line up...he might be a good pick up...
  12. management are looking to pick up a #1 goalie...
  13. linden says they will be watching for teams who have to move guys to get under the cap.

      ^^ Didn't the Flyers just extended him like last week?

    3. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      Doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see him here

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      bother chicago and philly are over the cap.

  14. wouldn't it be interesting if kesler was traded to dallas.....willie could give them names of players that he'ld like to see heret

    1. Watermelon

      Watermelon

      Man Kesler on the Stars could be lethal. I would want Nichushkin

      coming back although its probably not gonna happen

    2. LeanBeef

      LeanBeef

      Wouldnt mind something along the lines of Kesler and one of our top 4 for Dillon, a 2nd, Ritchie, and Oleksiak

  15. who can play with kesler?.....no, sundin has retired...

      ^ I agree Joe. When he was on the wing it seemed to light the fire under his Arse :P

    3. Zoolander

      Zoolander

      Reinhart :D Franchise players like him can play with anyone

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      that's what we need...i think booth, kassian and richardson and even matthias played well together....our second line needs to have success playing together...

  16. i wonder what teams are offering for kesler?

    2. Gyllenhaal

      Gyllenhaal

      yea but we don't have to move Kesler. Ball is in our court.

    3. Gyllenhaal

      Gyllenhaal

      Plus, if a team like StLouis gets Spezza, Chicago will be all over Kesler.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      not if benning wants saad...

  17. i thought booth used his linemates better than kesler ever did....matthias did just as well with richardson and kassian...
  18. fruger and clendening and a pick

      For Kes? I think Leddy, Hartman and a pick would be a much better fit and is fair value for Kes.

    3. Pears

      Pears

      That's a laughable offer for Kesler. Like come on. That's like us offering Richardson, Corrado, and a pick.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      we may be over valuing him..that's my only point....it is not what we want but what other GM's are willing to give up.

  19. i think the worse part of all the fan speculations is when trades and picks are made, people will be disappointed because they had more or different players in mind.

    1. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      I don't even bother...I don't profess to know enough to become an NHL GM. I'll leave it to those guys.... :)

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      its fun to speculate but not to make sound like we know more than them....how are you doing big casino?

  20. i don't know if its legal, but if florida wants ehlers and canucks want reinhart, why can't they take reinhart and us take ehlers and work out at trade after?

    1. Lil B From The Pack

      Lil B From The Pack

      That actually happens in the NBA Draft all the time. A team selects a player and is later traded for something else in the same night.

  21. good luck california crown.....it is hard to bet against you....

      really hoping he wins. didn't put any money on it tho.

      -DLC-

      Damn, emotional owners have me going.

    4. GLASSJAW
  22. if florida is bent on drafting ehlers, than 6th pick would make the most sense....therefore it would take or sixth pick and a prospect...maybe corrado....unless they would like hansen to take ehlers under his wing...it could happen.....
  23. there is a lot to like about virtanen's game excepts he suffers from kesleritis....doesn't use his line mates enough...hopefully that can be beat out of him.
  24. i think we should draft virtinen, then put him on a line with kes and get kes to teach him how to use his line mates.

      Exactly, smithers joe was talking about Beleskey and DSP.

    3. Tearloch7

      Tearloch7

      Virtinen may teach Kesler about using linemates ..

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      exactly...it might help both of them....
