missioncanucksfan Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 With Columbus being roughly at $67mil and needing 5 more players to round up their line-up, including Jones.....I wonder if Benning would have the stones to do such a thing. Being a 21yr old mammoth defender, and RHS to boot......he WILL become a top defender eventually and grow into his money On top of drafting Tkachuk or Dubois, this team would be pretty good next year. The cost would be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd If Benning can aquire a few picks to make up for that then I'm ok with that price Edler/Tanev Hutton/Jones Tryamkin/Sbisa Pedan That's quite a decent young blueliner for many many years to come and with guys like Stecher, Subban in the fold and Larsen, Biega as depth Just a thought.....

Jam126 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 They're not letting go of Jones anytime soon. Plus, we'd lose alot of key picks/prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 They can try. They will not get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I don't see JB as an offer sheet guy, he is more of the old boys network type of GM who wouldn't destroy a bunch of relationships by doing it. It serves us better not having a GM that the other GMs can't stand. We do have to make trades with teams other than Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think JB should consider offer sheets to anyone that he values around the league We should offer sheet the hell out of Edmonton to punish them for screwing up the draft system A+ thread topic Not enough offer sheet talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm a little terrified that Kekka would challenge Jimbo to a barn-brawl. :^0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 With the lack of moves Benning has made over the year, the answer is most likely and most certainly no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Me....I don't lose sleep wondering what the other GM's think of Benning nor would it cost us prospects....only a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Heck past GM'S have spent that on worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BI3KSA- Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hilariously enough, He'd likely be worth losing the picks over. Even if we won the lottery next year for the 1st overall hes probably still the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Columbus does owe us a 2nd round pick so really we'd only be losing a 1st and a 3rd. Hmmm something to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 They'd match, unless it was totally and completely ridiculous. But then the Canucks would be stuck with a ridiculous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Since the 2004-05 lockout, seven restricted free agents have signed offer sheets, and only one player has changed teams as the result of an offer sheet: Dustin Penner prior to the 2007–08 season. Penner is also the only player since 1997 (Chris Gratton) to change teams via an offer sheet).[6] The risk invested in real and cap dollars along with the negative reaction to an offer sheet has led to the act of signing an offer sheet becoming rare under the current CBA. Wikipedia. So basically all you are doing is raising the price on players, and making it harder to sign your own guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
