bluesman60 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hamhuis is a good guy to mentor the young guys so no problem if he isn't traded.....providing that he is signed to an extension....if he walks at the trade deadline for nothing, I will scream!

YEGCanuck Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Not impressed with Jimbo. IMO he should have things better orchestrated for potential trades in advance of the deadline. We will likely never know what conversations took place however right now JB looks to have failed a GM test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not upset if Hammer stays but if Vrbata is still here and the only transaction JB managed was to lose Cracknell for nothing, I agree...major failure. Edit: Okay with Hammer staying if JB re-signs him at a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO THE **** out of him. And don't resign him to show how stupid it was. What a great way to reward his years of service. You must be popular with HR.

Unless Hamhuis says he refused to be traded, I lay the blame squarely on Benning. Really unimpressed and will no longer support Benning - should have been brought on as a scout and nothing more. Offers were tabled, but more importantly, WHAT was tabled...the return could've been too small for Benning to say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC still expects him to be moved anyways. You can only be upset if you ignore context and set expectations for yourself. But that's what canucks fans are all about!

He could have gotten us a trade that would have elated us all and Hamhuis still could have said no. How exactly is that a failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I am fine with this as long as Hamhuis signs a 2 year extension at a discounted rate. Like maybe a $2 to $3 Million / year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I expected Hammer not to be dealt but kinda felt Vrbata and Bartkowski were guys you should get something for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 DESI is the smartest poster on CDC, I don't care how intelligent anyone's argument is. DESI know what's going on as far as Canucks are concerned. He's still crazy, but..........................he knows hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Neilsons Towel Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I am disappointed that not a single deal was made today. Missed opportunity in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Funny how lots of CDC members were praising Benning at the start of the season for signing all these one year deals to flip for picks at the TDL. Couldn't get anything, probably asked for a ridiculous amount for Hamhuis as well. Still rate him as a GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
