  1. If Benning trades some prospects and possibly flips some roster players to acquire a Wayne Simmonds and a younger RD to fill the top 4, will you be satisfied?

     

    Personally, I would.

    We have the assets to trade. It's not like they're all going to make it down the road anyway.

     

    I think a playoff run this year is very important for our core and I'm fully expecting Benning to add this trade deadline.

      Let's face it,

      who would not like to see a big nasty defenseman join this team.Tryamkin can be that guy but having another real honest to goodness crusher on the back end would do wonders for our CANUCKS.

      This to me is our biggest weakness,a defense that rarely hits anyone.

      They'd have to give US a pick + prospect to eat Simmonds contract.  We'd be better off just using Bae at this point in Simmnonds career.  He's 'done like dinner'.

  2. I agree with Green. This loss isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. If that puck didn't bounce in and we just so happened to win tonight, the tone would be very different. We're going to turn it around guys, have faith. We lost but we got a point, that's the positive.
  3. A team completely out of the playoffs would do it, but like you said, we need to attach an asset. I agree though, it's not worth it. We're better off sitting him and pray he retires lol.
  4. Trying to increase his value IMO. If Benning gets a chance to trade him, he's taking it.
  5. That Minny player running Marky in OT was 100% goalie interference. Can't believe we didn't get that call.
  6. We got a point, that's the positive. Hard fought game but a bounce made the difference. Move on, prepare for the next one. Side note: Benning, trade for Dumba. The guy was the only reason we didn't blow this game open.
  7. Well as it stands right now, that will likely happen for us when we make the playoffs. Imagine that, adding a healthy Boeser and Levio to the lineup when we need them most. I don't really care what Bettman and his associates want. They set the rules in place, so they shouldn't blame the GM's for utilizing them. I don't think Benning can get away with faking injuries or anything like that, but I think the doctors can recommend extended rest, wink wink.
  8. If we're buying an RD from a team, Stecher could go back to fill the void, but we would of course have to add for the upgrade on D.
  9. If we're trading Stecher we should be aiming for a solid RD. I like Stecher but his size + style of play limits his effectiveness.
  10. Just throwing something out there. You're right, that's not a good proposal, but a package can be put together. I'm thinking when they acquired Subban, they were pushing for the playoffs. Now that hasn't worked out and they're stuck with a $9mil/year x3 contract. I feel like they would be open to trading him. Overall, I feel it wouldn't cost us much IMO.
  11. We would not have to give up that much, PK is having a bad year and NJ could retain 50% of Subban's salary. If we can fit Loui Eriksson in the package that's a bonus. I'd say something like this: Canucks: Subban (4.5m/yr) NJ: Stecher, Eriksson, 3rd.
  12. A part of me is hoping Benning trades for a solid RD. Then trades Tanev at the deadline for maximum value. Hate to say it, but Tanev is on the verge of declining. I think it's a good opportunity to get a pick and a prospect.
  13. I think Kole Lind makes the team next season. Looks like he's taken significant strides.
  14. Karlsson is having a great year, next step is to see how he does in the AHL.
  15. Not sure this will actually fix ICBC, but if the system can be improved I'm all for it. BC has the most most expensive car insurance in Canada.
  16. They changed to some point system rather than how it was discounted. My insurance went from $130 to $170/month... Absolutely brutal.
  17. Rumours of Benning talking to NJ.

    Since we know they're selling, I wonder if Benning is not actually going after Simmonds, but rather Subban.

    With say half of his salary retained, it would be a more reasonable acquisition and not as expensive as other RD's out there.

    Benning has shown interest in the past.

    Just a thought.

      Saw in the paper today, the Canucks players love this trade. Toffoli is a very good player, puts pressure on CGY and EDM. The players could care less about losing Madden and the 2nd. I tend to agree. Let's get into the playoffs and have some fun. If Benning can manage an upgrade on D, I really like our chances.

      i tried hugging a teddy bear; it lost its stuffing.  :lol:

      My dog is happy though.  He shared in the shredding of said stuffy.  Now I’m better. :towel:

  18. What a massive improvement from his draft year. He's tearing up the Sweden comparative of the WHL/OHL. 7th round pick guys.
  19. I still can't believe we acquired Toffoli. This last stretch of hockey is going to be very fun to watch, guy's a goat.

      @NUCKER67 Absolutely. Always lit us up.

      I don't see why Toffoli wouldn't sign unless he's adamant on maximum dollar and term.

      I just wished Brock was healthy as well so we could see the type of damage we can do at full strength.

      @Trebreh that'll come in the playoffs. :metal:

  20. When we're scoring, Myers is that guy. It's just when we're struggling that I've noticed he takes too many chances. I get your point but I don't see why we would trade for a calibre Dman unless he is with us long term. If anything I think he acquires an Enforcer.
