  1. Great quote... was actually thinking the same. Canucks are linked with just about every available player in the league... and moving swiftly from one to another to another to.......
  2. .... Sun is shining, so I think I'll give that dark place a huge miss... Cheers...
  3. Now all I wanna know is how does the Benning basher brigade twist this around to something negative.... They've been awfully quiet the last 12 hours... Benning Rocks...
  4. True... but now he only needs 1 or 2 dmen instead of 2 or 3. one less blank to fill in.... brilliant deal.
  5. Fabulous deal. After expansion draft, he can be re-signed, if both parties wish to do so. This was the best possible deal for Canucks. At this time money not an object, so 6 mill is totally Ok. Welcome back Edler. Benning rules....
  6. Its 5 drafts - 6 first rd picks and except for OJ all playing in the NHL (and OJ most likely only because he is injured). Of them 1 just won the Calder, 1 just missed out last year and 1 may be in contention this year... all while picking 2 5th OA, 1 6th OA, 1 7th OA, 1 23rd OA and 1 24th OA..... That equals to 4 Top 10 picks in his tenure in Vancouver. Please enlighten me, how many other team have drafted better in the 1st rd over this 5 year span, despite dropping in every lottery...
  7. Wow....Elias showing true emotions speaking about Botchford. Once again he demonstrates, how classy a kid he is... Way to go Petey...
  8. Many congrats Petey.... Well deserved. And a huge thank you for making the past season enjoyable... Can't wait for the next season to start. Very classy speech as well upon winning the Calder cup. Magic.
  9. Can't say I know too much about Pionk, but he looks a bit light for me... in saying this, nearly 24 year old defence man scoring almost half a point per game. His +/- not overwhelming, but playing on a rebuilding Rangers team can do that to anyone. Jet already shipped him to the Rags once, so taking him back must mean they are either high on him, or he was forced on them, which means he'll be on the trade block instantly. But have to admit he is not, what I was hoping to pick up from Jets...but if he was, maybe he could be used in a trade for Ristolainen. Could be interesting to see Ristolainen playing with Edler.
  10. Brilliant news... Eddie true to his word... Summer just got a little better. Thanks Eddie and thanks to Benning.
  11. Looking perfect.... just as I thought. Now if you can manage one with Ehlers in a Nux jersey I'll be really happy
  12. Wish we could make a play for ehlers... would fit in perfectly on either of our two top lines. And doesn’t cost a fortune...
  13. It compares to Pettersson and then states he is a 1B/2A C.... hmmmm... dare I suggest Pettersson is a 1A?
  14. Agree.... there are so many good possibilities... who will end up being the better down the road, and who may bust. We need RHD but also need top 6 players at forward positions. So whom ever JB think may have the best career of the players left at 10 will do me just fine...
  15. Cheers Ibatch... sign me up. Its not just hockey this happens. The standard is the fantastic play in contract year, just to see them fall like apple off the tree, after the contract has been signed. As a fan its so infuriating...
  16. Amazing how little love there is for Kakko or Hughes... Foote (2) - Newhook (3) - Kakko (5) Byram (5) - Korczak (2) Soegard (3)
  17. I just really hope that he can get through his injuries and turn into, what everyone was hoping he’d be. If for nothing else to have the Benning bashers eat humble crow... Boy was touted as the best all round d in his draft. And the one with the highest floor (as far as I remember). Others had potentially higher ceilings but were considered more boom/bust. The boy has had terrible luck with injuries, and it remains to be seen, if he will become a top pairing, a top 4 pairing or a ordinary d man. But boy would I love for him to make it.... I was never on the Tkachuk train...
