  1. This. Nobody thinks of the future in the organization. Benning has basically closed the cup window for this team to 2 years by getting the OEL contract, signing Myers and etc. If the Canucks don't make the playoffs this year, it would mean OEL truly doesn't live up to his contract. The overall team has regressed and it will be 6 more long years before Canucks can be in contention again.
  2. Kraken might offersheet Petterson. Why does everyone think GMs won't do this? Because it will hurt the other GM's feelings? Payback? Lol, GMs only care about making their team better and making $$ for the owner. Signing Petterson will tell the Seattle fans that they are aiming to win next year and will be a middle finger to us; their direct regional and divisional rival.
  3. This. If Benning can get rid of Myers and Schmidt for Dougie and Hamonic. I would tip my hat to Benning
  4. Oof, Blue Jackets messed up picking Johnson. But whatever at least its not the Canucks
  5. LOL To all you Benning lovers, we had 1 year left on LE, Roussel, and Beagle. BUT NOW we have 6 years left on OEL who is declining rapidly as a dman Good job Benning. You out-GM yourself again.
  6. I think Seattle might offer sheet Petterson. They have 33 million in cap space and they can make Petterson their face of the franchise while sticking it to us.
  7. Yeah Coronato can pass, shoot, and deke and plays a 200 foot game. BENNING GET IT DONE
  8. Hm.... Sillinger looks okay but not that impressed. I don't see him being a regular top 6 in the NHL but maybe as a support player in top 6 but will definitely not drive his line. Probably top 9 in the NHL.
  9. Great. We lost Lind. I see Lind being a future top 6 in the NHL and now he will be with our direct rival.
  10. Yeah me too. Coronato is crazy good. Im thinking in a few years time when they look back at this draft he will be in the top 5 of players in this draft.
  11. There is an incredibly high chance that Petterson will be offered sheet. The canucks have 14 million in cap space I believe. 8 x $10 million. That would leave 4 million for Hughes which would be impossible for us to sign. Meaning that we have to shed salary and how can we shed salary? Forced buyout of LE and using that money to match.
  12. Never seen Eklund or Wallstedt but I agree with Power dropping and the rest.
  13. If Sabres draft Powers instead of Beniers that will be a huge mistake on their part.
  14. My concern is his hockey IQ. A lot of people see that he does a lot of highlight reels but he has problems with making simple plays. When there is a simple pass to make, he simply chooses not to and would rather dangle his way through the opponents and most of the time would lose the puck and with the puck going the other way. Plus other issues I see, I do not see Johnson as an NHL player so I would put him in the do not draft list.
  15. Yes he does a lot of skill plays but he does it all the time and he is only successful 4/10 times. When there is a simple play to make, he simply does not make it and would rather go for the "highligh reel" play. This tells me that he has low hockey IQ. Plus other factors that i have seen puts him on the Do not draft list
  16. God i hope Johnson is gone before we reach him. I do not see Johnson making the NHL
  17. For the love of god. PLEASE DO NOT DRAFT JOHNSON. DRAFT MATTHEW CORONATO
  18. Yes, our puny brains is no match for Mr. Galaxy Brain Benning
  19. Uh.... if Seattle takes Lind then Benning really is the best GM this market has seen.
  20. I will give you that Larsson is better offensively. But Larsson has brain farts like Myers
  21. Larsson is basically Myers but shorter. I would laugh my ass off if we sign Larsson cause this team would need another rebuild if this happens.
