He did hit the net though. That was exciting. He breaks up a lot of zone possession LB. That is primarily what he does - and it is undervalued imo.

I'm a big fan of Benning and what he's done to this team in such a short period, but I've got to say his best move as GM so far is signing Stecher. Not a single cent went towards acquiring him. Brilliant move. Chaput was free as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps going like he is we'd be extremely fortunate to sign him for anything starting with a 5. It's leaning more towards 6 + every game that passes.

PhillipBlunt Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well done, Willie. Credit where credit is due. He found gold in the defense pairings tonight. His powerplay deployment was inspired as well. I'm digging what you're throwing down, Twitchardins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your plan of attack for Saturday against the Leafs? Do we A finish every check and try and look to hit one of their star young forwards? Or Do you Want Gudbranson to go after Matt Martin and risk hurting himself while we're down 2 D-men in Edler and Tanev? (Next is Biega on the Depth Chart) If I was Benning I'd call Bertuzzi and see if he's available for the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant move. Nothing against Benning but to be honest Stecher's heart was set on signing here all things being relatively equal. He's wanted to be a Canuck all of his life. Really my main concern last year was Benning deciding not to offer him a contract. But I'm glad everything worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 7 minutes ago, oldnews said: Tryamkin has a lot of mustard on his shot. I think he'll be more of a factor in due course. Gudbranson's shot isn't soft either - it's just that he's the kind of guy who needs a beast in front to get sticks on /deflections, vacuum up rebounds, provide a screen - and I think he'll get some more points because he has been getting some pretty heavy shots on net, it's just that the goaltender can see them all. Hutton's shot is considerably improved as well imo - not going to be busting through any mesh, but he's added some weight to his (previously somewhat soft) slapper. The real secret weapon though is the Sbisa wrister. Elite. Its all about deception. Ya, Edler, Gudbranson and Tryamkin can shoot but it's the methodic wind up that kills them. Especially Edler. It's like "hey everyone, Eddy is winding up for a slap shot". "is everyone ready?!" "Ready" "ready,'" "ready" "ready" "Ok, in 5,4,3...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm sure glad we didn't listen to the huge gaggle of dipshizzz that would have jumped at the opportunity to dump Sbisa for a 5th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning in the Province: Are the Sabres still kicking the trade tires with the Canucks and is Virtanen — who has seven goals in 65 career NHL games — in play in a long-rumoured swap scenario for Evander Kane? “Nope — not trading him,” stressed Benning.
