Chicago's proven they have one of the best development systems. He simply could be a better fit there rather than here. Even before we traded him, he was still playing pretty damn well though. That was an insane draft year by the Canucks. Virtanen, McCann, Demko, Tryamkin, Forsling for our first 5 picks. JB knows how to draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interesting when no other Canucks draft year since 2004 has yielded more than 3 players who have played NHL games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kind of play Joel Quenneville might deem “special,” his highest level of praise. “I don’t like using that term loosely or too often,” Quenneville said. “So we’ll call him real good.” Now that's just mean, rubbing it in like that.

In my view they're not directly, but indirectly related in that there's only room on the team at any given time for one of their type of player - smallish, offensively minded, younger pmd type that is. I'm not going to lament the fact that at one point GF was a Canucks asset. He isn't anymore and I like our asset (Stecher ) better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMillerTime Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I bet he gets traded once his next contract runs up because of Chicagos cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberries Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well this is not ideal, however, only two things matter: We wouldn't have Sutter without that trade, and well it shows Benning's drafting ability (5th round pick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Phaneuf Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not surprising as the Blackhawks have had two spots up for grabs for the past two seasons. This year is Forsling's chance to solidify his spot in the lineup just like TvR did last year. Just another Jim Benning special. Clendening showed promise while developing in Rockford but trading Forsling was mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 As many posters have alluded to, for as long as Troy Stecher is not sent down, all is forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedinMadness Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 at the time the canucks where desperate when they made the trade. they had many injuries at that point and benning and company had to make a trade or felt so... sometimes that happens... don't get after benning about it...

erkayloomeh Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We will never hear the end of this. I suggest we bring glendening back and just let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
