2016 free agents Benning is planning to target

Lucic stunk up Boston last year. They couldn't get rid of him fast enough. He was skating like a washed up Jim Sandlak, and put up similar numbers.

He didn't back check, lazy on line changes, he looked even worse then Kassian.

If Benning is seriously interested in Lucic and signs him, it will mean like many of the fans, that no one has bothered to scout him since the cup win.

I don't like the idea of Lucic and I don't see Seabrook leaving Chicago (unless Canucks excessively overpay - not worth it given his age).

Kopitar would be my pick. Guy is a stud and should have at least another 10 - 12 years left in him.

Chicago cant sign Seabrook anymore due to Captain Serious cap hit and Patty Kanes'

+1.37 million

Want it or not, Lucic will be coming to Vancouver. No matter the cost, Benning will sign him. Don't tell anyone this, but BENNING WILL PAY ANYTHING!!! Sad. If you look in the "Armchair GM" forum, I posted a few days ago that I predict on July 1, 2016, Benning will sign Lucic to a 7 year deal (the max length possible) for about $7 million a year. Sound ridiculous? Maybe. But that's what a bonafide top 6, 28 year old guy gets these days if you look around the league. Even if I am wrong, it will be maybe $6 million, but nothing less. Some people posted they would sign lucic for $5 million a year for 2 years... HA! Lucic would need to have the worst agent on earth to get a deal like that.

Cocaine. It's a hell of a drug.

Why did Daniel Sedin sell his house though? Will free agents even want to come up here unless massive over payment knowing this team is years away from seriously contending?

Realistically I see Lucic being signed, Hamhuis maybe extended, and a shot to get a guy like Brouwer to round out the top six.

No way Chicago is that dumb to let Keith's buddy just walk. They will clear space to sign him and Kopitarzz not going anywhere either.

That's 3 BC Boy Vets good as it gets really plus Virtanen assuming he beats out Shinkaruk, and Higgins and Jensen are traded by next summer.

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows

Lucic-Bonino-Brouwer

Baertschi-Horvat-Virtanen/Shinkaruk

Dorsett-Vey-Hansen

Kenins/Grenier

Edler-Tanev

Hamhuis-Corrado

Sbisa-Clendenning

Bartowski-Weber

Miller

Lucic and Seabrook. Mark my words, Benning will go hard after them if they hit the free agent market. If we move the right amount of cap we can comfortably sign both.

If looch doesn't resign with the Kings mid season I'm willing to bet he'll be a Canuck next year.

I'd be willing to put good money on that too.

Every season starts with a quality batch of UFAs. Then their teams re-sign them and the actual UFA class is Ales Hemsky level players. I doubt Lucic, Stamkos or Seabrook make it to UFA.

We won't get Seabrook. But that's okay, I hope we resign Hamhuis, and there are other good defensive FAs.

I know Lucic had a bad season last year, but going to LA may rejuvenate him. Being 27/28 indicates he's in his prime

He's RFA that year, think by then CBJ will be willing to do 7year deal at 8-9m per. Guy will definitely earn it by then.

for UFA market, Voracek would be high on my list, young as balls... probably gets resigned unless he wants out of Philly.

Seabrook would be a good target too, BC Boy may want to come here... Chicago probably finds a way to keep him though
