Robongo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Botchford just posted this in his Jan 30 edition of the provies. Let the speculation begin: BEST REACTION Word has been burning all week, the Canucks are close to another deal. Sir Bennington got a huge smile talking about it. “We’ll see,” he said. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/01/30/the-provies-henriks-scare-lacks-scare-and-why-is-bennington-smiling/ Top six scoring would be nice. We don't really have a whole lot of disposable assets though. The usual suspects as trade bait: Lack, Kassian , one of our D? If source isn't sufficient then lock please, it is Botchford after all but I thought it would make for some interesting discussion. Taj1944 is a decent source for all things Canucks, he's called some things before. He made this tweet before Botchford's Provies. Make of it what you will.. Taj @taj1944 · Jan 29 People won't even remember this trade once the next one goes down. Which should be sooner than later. #loggingoffagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo.Horvat53 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 There's always a deal in the works this time of year, so wouldn't be surprised to see another one soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nashville's feeling the heat on their mustard-butts. They've been out of the dance for a while; then Rinne drops like he did all last year. Chi & StL picking up steam-they can't let such an opportunity pass! So they'll deal for a Lack-pack(age). We'll get one of their nice D, & a 2015 1st. There's one guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hope we are moving Weber or Sbisa for picks. Most likely though there is not really a deal in the works and Botch is trying to gain followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Most likely there are countless deals that have been worked on since Hamhuis first went down in November.I can't wait to see what Benning brings the faithful in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nashville would be a great trade partner. Theyre a team thats in a good playoff postion, but Rinne just got injured. Hopefully Benning could take advantage of that and make a Lack+ for Ekholm. Another possible route is trading Sbisa to Flames or Colorado (at the deadline) for some picks.

Ossi Vaananen Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Benning is Kevin Costner in Draft Day. He wheels and deals like nobody's business. I'm thinking it's for a top six forward if not a prospect that's close. Benning has a knack for finding players on deep teams who's contract or RFA status will prove difficult to re-sign.

Gstank29 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Lack to Preds for a 2nd/1st or a prospect like Austin Watson or Colton Sisson I'm calling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Amazing how deals can get done when you have assets and the rest of the gm's are willing to work with you because you are not a pompous and egotistical douche of a GM... Would not be suprised in the least bit if there is more coming either now or for sure in the summer. Goalie will be involved Lack or Markstrom. Might also be trading away draftpicks or a prospect to get a young player who is NHL ready or very close and is buried down the depth chart and needs a legit opportunity to play like Clendening.

Tom Sestito Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I don't see anything big coming. He said he won't move any of the A guys. They've said Edler's untouchable. Hamhuis, the sedins, vrbata are PRACTICALLY untouchable. 1st isn't available. Lack and middling veterans + 3rd/4th's won't be getting Crosby @ warhippy. I'm reserved on the possibility of Tanev for ROR but don't see it happening because reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The Canucks have never had this problem. ..where did I put my joint? Um Gillis comes to mind especially post 2011. Well known sentiment that he was not on many GM's favorite guy to talk to list. His only real trade partner seemed to be Dale Tallon and Florida.
