TheRussianRocket. Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 @VanCanucks: Benning says #Canucks are in a transition period, looking to establish a new core of young players. Wants to add D-man in free agency. Currently the Canucks have $8.8m in cap space according to https://www.hockeyscap.com/teams/canucks . Take into consideration still have to sign Corrado/Clendenning/Baertschi, that will be about $3.5m gone leaving $5m in cap space. MATT BARTKOWSKIpros: relatively young at 27, knows JB from Boston days, reliable dman who puts up assists, cheap $cons: nothing really other than he doesn't score I guess? He's not a scorer anyways so not a problemMATT IRWINpros: BC boy, hits, scores - complete package, 27 years old, cons: nothing that I know ofCODY FRANSONpros: BC boy, hits, scores, block shots, 27 years old, big framecons: not reliable defensively/inconsistent, will cost quite a bit/no breathing room cap wiseJOHN MOOREpros: does a little bit of everything, 24 years of age, still room to grow, physicalcons: not a guy you can rely to fix the defense/more of a depth player atmPAUL POSTMApros: low risk-high reward, 26 years old, has all the tools, 2nd pair potential if things go rightcons: history of the injury bug, hasn't taken advantage of chances in Winnipeg I personally would want Irwin. BC boy, brings everything to the table that Franson does but at a cheaper cost. Although he's doesn't have the offensive firepower as Franson, he's a lot better defensively and it makes up for it. Capable of putting up nice numbers as is. 2nd choice would be Bartkowski and 3rd Franson. Would love to have him but his cost will handicap the team and his lack of defensive awareness.

BanTSN Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 You guys know it's Bartkowski, right? edit: Oh you do. Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I wouldnt mind Moore or Irwin... but not at those prices. Franson at 5 mil i would take no problem. If Vancouver does end up rebuilding, these guys are just free assets. Just pls no NTC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 95 percent sure the headlines will read, "Canucks sign Matt Bartwoski for 3 years," Benning and his obsession too obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugor Hill Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Make a hockey trade instead. Trade Hansen for a decent Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksFanInOz Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Benning will favour Bartkowski, though Irwin is not a bad choice either. Hoff is old and dealing with a couple of concussions why risk it? I don't want to hear about the past anymore. Change is a constant folks. It's time to embrace it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Wheres Christian? Christian Ehrhoff, not a choice? Would cost too much to be an option and, "looking to establish a new core of young players". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Where's Sekera? Same category as Hoff in that he's too pricy. If LA couldn't lock him up, we won't be able to either. Not a realistic option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just please god not Franson, if they sign that turtle after preaching younger and faster for 2 years my head will explode. He'll make Sbisa look like Bure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If the Canucks do decide to pursue Franson I hope it's for no more than 5 for 3-4 years. Pipe dream I know because he will probably nab 6 mill per (overpayment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
