Nino Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm wondering if Booth was the right choice? Burrows to me seems like the more logical choice. After one bad season? I'm glad your not the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 must be looking to get another winger by free agency or trade. hence a scorer. benning drafted vanek ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 With a Kesler deal + maybe Higgins or Hansen we have 5+4.5+2.5+11mil we alrdy have in cap space = 22 million in cap space = 8th in highest cap space in NHL Good move Benning. Why would we get rid of Higgins?? He has been our most consistant player in the last two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 benning drafted vanek ... Oh boy, then Vanek can teach Jensen how to be a big and lazy top six forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Would have used it on Burrows personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 benning drafted vanek ...Dont want a $7m player who doesn't compete in the playoffs. Relegated to the 4th line in the conference finals. Goes against the type of team Linden and Benning want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 He'll sign somewhere for 2-2.5M, have success, and you guys will all b***h about it and call JB an idiot. Just watch. It happens every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 benning drafted vanek ... I would wet my pants if we landed vanek. Could you imagine him with the Sedins... omg. The cap hit is a bit hard to swallow though but he is a great player. Up to Master JB to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 pretty much means Jensen is taking his spot! A much better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hmm too bad I liked him too. As a person or a hockey player? Lol One year to late IMO, but he obv couldn't be bought out due to injuries. Bennin must be planning on using that cap Space because I kinda Expected them to let booth play out his final year and see if he could stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I wouldn't have bought out Booth, only one year left and he started to play good at the end of the year. I guess the buyout was mainly to make room for young guys cause I don't see us spending to the cap anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Jim Jamieson @JamiesonCanucks 1m Booth's agent, Mike Liut says #Canucks GM Jim Benning called him late Monday to inform that Booth would be bought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansicle Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Would have used it on Burrows personally For once I actually agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Neither one was particularly useful this year. At least Burrows can penalty kill when his offensive game isn't there, I guess. Burrows had one off year though, Booth hasn't really been great during his entire Vancouver tenure. Does Burrows actually have an offensive game? Without the Sedins he doesn't seem to have one.

Bingo Chili Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 FINALLY Booth has no business to be in top 6 and with that cap hit not a fit as 3rd liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I predict a subtle change to the lineup after this. Depending on what we get back from the Kes trade. No center in the trade, David Legwand signing, then let the youth fill out what's left of the lineup. Also maybe get a 1a 1b goalie. Draft Ehlers because this team NEEDS SPEED, and let him and Shinkaruk battle it out for a top 6 spot. O look i found another Ehlers fan. Do you guys every quit?

Derp... Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wowzers Benning is not hesitating to have guys responsible. Wish Booth well in his future, probably will be signed by minny or someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I was a fan of Booth when the Canucks got him and excited for the 60 points a season he could bring us. Injuries and inconsistencies just never let him get going. He hasn't been the same since his concussion and won't be moving forward. Its unfortunate that he couldnt get it going. He showed signs of getting back on track but I guess its too late. Wish him well wherever he lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Does Burrows actually have an offensive game? Without the Sedins he doesn't seem to have one. I really don't know, Heretic. I feel like he could work with Santorelli, if he just stationed himself in front of the net like with the twins and waited for the puck. I don't think his offensive ability is really all that high naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
