Lui's Knob Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The season of horror is over. Now what kind of offseason would attract your attention? Give one of optomism? Viewed as a success? In no particular order: - Canucks sign demko (*although my guess is he stays at BC), boeser, caggiula and stecher - WD fired and replaced by either Green or Julien - assistant coaching staff canned - Miller traded - Vey traded - Canucks sign lucic (* if anything he'd make the team more interesting to watch) - Canucks draft in the top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 it depends what direction this management wants to go here is what should happen. Hansen moved for decent prospect return Edler moved Miller moved awwwwwww screw it nothing is going to happen, this team will just go out and sign a bunch of UFAS and over pay them. Just look at that sbisa contract. this team needs to get younger and gather prospects, the next two years are important in what direction they go. If they believe the Sedins' can win them a cup then be it, but that's very risky relying on the Sedins' for a cup. It's best to build a new core around Horvat.

Mathew Barzal Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Use the later rounds of the draft to load up on boom or bust defenseman, go hard after som of those juicy college FA's. Spend the big bucks on a PMD UFA. Hutton and Tryamkin could learn so much from a veteran powerplay QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Based on reading CDC...nothing short of drafting all the prospects and signing all the free agents will satisfy the fans. Hello Auston Matthews, Steven Stamkos and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These past couple of days have been good. Maybe try to get out and enjoy. Back to the thread: Dream scenario I see 2 major free agent signings, Stamkos and a LD would be my preferred 2. Go after Okposo of cap is available Trade that sends Edler++ to New York for Hamonic. Canucks draft Laine/Matthews. Buyout Burrows sign Boeser, Demko, and the other two ND free agents.

AngelicHearts Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's better to expect nothing and then if something does happen then it will be a pleasant surprise. A lot of people got their hopes up at the trade deadline and nothing happened, so I wouldn't get too excited about the offseason yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmylu1 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 what would truly satisfy me would be to trade our entire roster for Blackhawks roster... I'd also settle for Austin Mathews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Claude "the hypocrite" Julien? He will never be welcome here. Hiring Green might be a good idea but I don't think firing WD is well justified. And, why would we want to trade Miller? We need to buy Demko at least one year of development time as we did with Schneider. Contrary to what you believe, I think Demko will sign with us.; it's in his best interest. If he doesn't, then I think he doesn't have good decision making abilities... basically only if he is an idiot, will he not sign with us. And, we don't want idiots on this team. This off season will be satisfying if we sign at least one top UFA forward (Stamkos, Eriksson, Ladd, or Lucic), draft in top 3, and sign/trade for a shutdown defenceman.

-AJ- Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Satisfied? A top 4 pick, Hamhuis re-signing, letting Weber and Bartkowski walk, re-signing Baertschi, and a good usage of any leftover cap spaces (details TBD). I'm not terribly picky, really. I realize that there's a significant difference between a satisfying off-season and an ideal off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 What I think Benning's off-season should look like: April: Sign some college free agents! I'm hoping we land Stecher/Caggiula. I'm sure there are other less notable guys that will be available as well. I think Demko should sign soon, the path ahead is clear for him, as there will be no one in his way once Miller plays out his contract. Join the pro scouts for the AHL playoffs, and observe the NHL playoffs. Let's see if Utica can win some playoff games! May: Lock up the RFAs we do have: Etem, Granlund, Vey?, Baertschi, Kenins, Pedan and Zalewski. Scout the World Championship. June: Scouting meetings early in the month. Combine a little later before draft. Solidify who we want. Draft!!!! July: Free agents! We have to land an offensive winger, and I secretly want Matt Martin for our 4th line. An upgrade to defence would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
