AlexEdler11 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 for the people complaining benning didn't do enough this year. getting Miller is HUGE, Lack isn't ready. and the forward group in FA this year wasn't anything special besides statsny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horvat Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sign Vrbata Trade for Loui Eriksson (should be cheap as Bruins have little cap so something like Gaunce+Hansen) Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson Vrbata-Bonino-Kassian(Kassian will break out and be a top PWF in the league) Higgins-Horvat-Burrows(2 hard working players teaching him) Matthias-Richardson-Dorsett Vey?

Henrik Kesler Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Vrbata, Grabo, Legwand...there's still top 6 forwards out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb4u Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Surprised nobody has mentioned Santorelli. One of the most exciting players IMHO last year for us. Throw him on the wing and use as a backup centre when the injury bug inevitably hits us. 2 years at $1-1.5 million per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If we are going to spend money I say make the trade for Johansen. He won't be cheap, but the fact he isn't signed might make it easier than Kane. Send out Higgins, Matthias and a prospect.Chicago, Phili and Washington need cap relief.Would love to see Sharp here. Even a guy like Brooks Laich or Troy Brouwer might come in handy.In terms of UFA, the only "top 6" available are Vrbata, Grabovski, Legwand and Heatley. Quotations obviously don't need explaining.

Bertorama Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm betting on Vrbata. I would not want Heatly. He's washed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Clark MacArthur is a Medicine Hat Tiger. Deal for him JB! Don't overpay for a bunch of guys whose past due date has expired. Seriously, Danny Heatley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Clark MacArthur is a Medicine Hat Tiger. Deal for him JB! Don't overpay for a bunch of guys whose past due date has expired. Seriously, Danny Heatley? Frick. I would lose it if we got Clarke MacArthur (or Kyle Turris). But I doubt Ottawa gives up either given their ever-thinning depth of talent.

SamJamIam Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Benning is hopelessly in over his head. He gets owned everything he does. His obvious plan was Iginla... who played him for a fool. This made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 What Benning should be looking for is a brain. You truly are hopeless! Hilarious, but hopeless nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From.The.Point Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Evander Kane please. Signed long term and seems like he could be had for the right price. Sedins could mentor and possibly lineup with him and makes us that much younger (depending on who you trade). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Vrbata isn't bad. He's actually pretty good but i doubt it'll be him they're after first off any. I see Benning coming up with something less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have this real strange feeling that Benning will make a deal with Boston for Loui Eriksson. I think you'll have maybe Hansen, Mallet, and a 2016 3rd Round Pick for Loui Eriksson. We might even retain some salary on Hansen, it's just something that wouldn't shock me. I told my buddy that Benning is probably trying to get Eriksson from Boston but he's keeping it low key. If it doesn't happen then it doesn't happen, but I really wouldn't be surprised at all if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take Horvat to even get their attention... Throw in Tanev, Hansen and 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Joe Thornton to Canucks for bag of pucks? Lol, i know he's not a winger but probably makes Kassian a 30 goal scorer. Loui Eriksson makes sense but concussion issues are concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is one of the 4-5 who are in that group so it's actually very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 look for a trade to happen with boston or st louis . I bet the canucks trade some of their youth . Think thats stupid but I have a strong feeling its gonna happen Well, that's good enough for me. Seriously, don't hold your breath for anything to happen immediately. Teams will be concentrating on any remaining, decent free agents. Once that clears, there'll be a lull before managements take a step back to assess the changing landscape. Teams up against the cap will get antsy later, even late August (which is when we got Ehrhoff for a skate blade and a mouthguard). A patient Benning could get good value from targeting someone he needs for both the short- and long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
