TheSnipeshow91 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 i'm interested in whether cederholm makes the nhl one day...looked good with pittsburg's young d-man. broken record but st'louis may have trouble re-signing shattenkirk...his name was batted around this season... offensive rd ....#1.....it is hard to draft those kind of players... If he's available, give STL whatever they want except Horvat, Virtanen and Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Shattenkirk would be absolutely amazing. Seems like a perfect fit as I could imagine him playing with Edler, Tanev, or Hamhuis. And 1st unit pp of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 We need to trade and spend BIG at the next draft to acquire at least 2 top-4 defencemen. Hamhuis will likely be gone, Barktowski may be too depending on how his season goes, and we'll be with Edler and Sbisa as our only legitimate left handed defencemen. Tanev and Corrado are our only real righties as well. No offence coming from those 4 and to be honest none of them deserve to be considered a top-20 NHL defenceman. Seabrook would be nice but I see Chicago doing everything they can to keep him, and he's on the older end of the spectrum. Goligoski may be available if Dallas' young D-men really shine but again they'll probably keep him, they've got cap room. Keith Yandle would be lovely but will be highly covetted and more likely go to a Cup contender, he'd be hard to convince to come here. Kris Russel or Giordano may be available considering how beefed up the Calgary defence is now with Hamilton, but once again they have enough cap room to splurge and keep everyone. We're really going to have to make a huge deal at the Draft to acquire a defenceman. Benning needs to do something ballsy like the 1st + 2 x 2nds for Hamilton. That sort of trade wins you Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of trade wins you Championships. I agree a trade should be made but only at the right time when the prospect pool is deep enough and the team is ready for the next step. Too early and it's crippling like the Phil Kessel trade. I think this offseason may be a good time but I view it as the beginning of the window. A Vrbata trade would help to directly or indirectly acquire that player. If not, since the team is not ready to compete anyway, a few years from now may be a more appropriate time. Once guys like McCann, Cassels, and Boeser are ready to step in and there's quality prospects from the next few drafts behind them, that might be the right time for a major move. It's very unfortunate that so many drafts in the Gillis Era left the prospect pool in a terrible spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are converting him to winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 He has in the AHL. Not impressed... I'm sure he'll be there this year again. He will require waivers and will be claimed by another team if he is sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 , since the team is not ready to compete anyway, a few years from now may be a more appropriate time.

Crabcakes Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The thing about Benning is that he's always working. Even when he's mucking out the stables at his place in Oregon, he's always thinking. I think there's a good chance that he may still make a trade before training camp. It's all about opportunity. Who still needs to squeeze under the cap?

Madwolf Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Fair enough. I'd say it's hard to get really excited about the D prospect pool outside of Corrado and Pedan at the moment. We definitely need to add more Top 4 prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy Bank Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 instead of sign d men, draft them. Hamhuis for 2016 first Vrbata for 2017 first then miller in 2016-17 season for 2018 first draft 3 first round d men and 3 forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_fo_life Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This is the guy I'm most excited about as far as defensive prospects go, you'd think these highlites were of a forward at times, this guy looks unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
