TheRussianRocket. Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Edler/Tanev + Virtanen/Boeser + 5th overall (+?) for PK? Who knows, but the fact JB has confirmed he's been in talks gives it some traction. Would definitely be a steep price. Also interesting JB admitting PK is a true #1 dman in his eyes / what we are truly lacking. Doubt we have the pieces and organizational depth to trade for him but you never know. Interestingly enough, JB is looking to add another dman one way or another prior to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Say what you want about jim, but you have to agree that the man is trying tk make this team better. I always felt that gillis was very passive. Deals were flying right by us like we were standing still. With benning it now seems we are in on everyone. Its exciting to be a canuck fan right now. Hopefully the last couple years has been the birthing of a Stanley cup team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It doesn't sound like even Benning feels we can land Stamkos. I think there is more to the PK rumors then what is being let out. It sounds like hes very bullish on Lucic, and I'm betting it gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of being a former agent and always trying to "win" deals outright was like repellent for trading partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Posted that in the earlier Benning interview thread. They had similar discussions (really Subban and Stamkos were the only main additions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows what he's doing, regardless of what vomitus waste like Jason Brough and Jason Botchford think or believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do this deal, still leaves us Hank, Sutter, Bo down the middle, we can add a winger or two, yet the offense from the D will be night and day from last season. I think our D would be lights out if we added PK, even if we give up Tanev. I tried to delete the top part of Russians post but couldn't. I also think JB needs to be careful about what he says about players under contract, namely Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By sea and land Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Love love love Benning. I've been wondering why this city hasn't been crying for us to sign Stsmkos. He's the best potential free agent out there, by a mile. Hope we avoid PK Subban. Nice player but it would cost us too much. Do your thing Trader Jim. Best GM this city has ever seen.

Bang Bang Boogie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Is this almost borderline tampering with Benning naming players before free agency officially starts? Didn't Ron Wilson get in trouble for something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSacamano Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 So what constitutes tampering? Expressing interest in players under contract with another team? Aren't both stamkos and subban under contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The "rumour" or "speculation" revolves around Tanev + Hansen + 5th for Subban + 9th. But of course, this is from Dreger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Liking what I'm hearing here, especially that even after getting Gudbranson, we're still looking to add to our D. It was our weakest link by a mile in the last 2 seasons, so it's great that Benning is looking at addressing it. Doesn't sound optimistic on Stamkos, but I wouldn't be either. 29 other teams want him, and he'd have no reason to come here, as we're not contenders.
