Southpop45 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Dreger on Edmonton's TSN 1260 the morning of Thursday December 18, 2014: " I do hear he (benning) is in the market" " I cant tell you exactly what hes looking for because its not specific" "But I have heard rumblings that he and peter chiarelli are connecting in boston" "Boston is hungry to do something. they're looking for a top six or top nine forward." Its also interesting to add in that damian cox came out with a article a couple days ago claiming that the canucks would like to move one of chris Higgins or alex burrows. My personal thought is that the deal being discussed might be something along the lines of Higgins for one of khokolachev, spooner, or griffith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Higgins and a prospect and/or a pick for Mcquaid and the russian kid would be sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ya we could use a good young D and Boston has plenty. Worried as to what we might give up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm not sure we match up well with Boston. They are tight against the cap as it is and they have a few guys that will be in line for fair sized raises after this year in Smith, Hamilton, Krug and McQuaid. They also have several contracts coming off the books, but nothing that would give them much relief. I'm thinking it would have to be either a prospect swap or something much bigger.

timberz21 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm pretty sure, that this is not the first time Benning and Chiarelli have been discussing. In fact, beside Anaheim (for the Kesler trade), i think Chiarelli is the GM he talked to the most since being hired. They are probably still good "friend" and talk often, not necessarily about trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Who from our top 9 would consider waiving to go to Boston? Something tells me nothing comes of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duc_evo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd trade Kassian away, watching him play is hurting my brain. I see him doing much better in Boston than in Vancouver.

theminister Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Higgins and Weber for Krug and 2015 3rd. Promote Jensen. Sign Krug to a 3 year deal at $3.3 per, set the bar for Tanev. I'm not even advocating it… I just think it's something that I could see being the range of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I like the idea as long as someone from our stale core is traded. Dont trade prospects or picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd like to land Soderberg, that kind of production for 3rd line minutes is amazing. What would that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Higgins being delt since hes actually worth something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 OP, none of the names you suggest we get back for Higgy make sense as all three are smaller, skilled forwards (and centers to boot). I just don't see Benning surveying the Western Conference landscape and thinking to himself that this team needs more small forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadiangunner Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The deal will be Higgins and Burrows for Tory Krug and a add on. That's the meat of the trade proposal. Interesting would give the nucks a QB on the PP and offense from defense. Burrows and Higgins add depth and scoring to the forward rank. Would also free up significant cap space for the canucks to make further moves b4 the deadline or dip into the free agency market in the offseason.

Mackcanuck Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The Bruins need Cap space($.9M),we have ($2.2M) so, Eriksson($4.25M) would probably be part of it Higgins($2.5M)3yrs Sestito($0.75M)UFA Weber($0.85M)UFA for Eriksson($4.25M) 2yrs Krug ($1.4M)RFA Picks and or prospects Boston would love Higgins and Sestito and clear cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
