Sbriggs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 1 hour ago, on the cycle said: Well....... why.....why would they? I'm discouraged that it doesn't sound like they will be actively trying to acquire picks and prospects either. So....I guess we're sitting tight this season? Then you didn't hear him he said he'll entertain trades from Vets if they come to him and ask to be moved to a contender, thats not only fair its classy. The kind of manager a UFA would like to sign with once we have rebuilt and challenging for a stanely cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote the Avalanche want a “top-level defenseman, a first-round pick, plus” for Landeskog. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/01/10/report-teams-are-balking-at-avs-asking-price-for-landeskog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thats terrific, worst draft year in a decade! Maybe should have been last year? Oh and the Jackets will be sending their draft pick to Van this year. Count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sick of Benning selling off our future at the trade deadline for rentals! ......oh wait, he's never done that. Nor has he gained any future for dying contracts.

The Sedins are NOT the only veterans worth something @ trade deadline. If I have to explain to you its not worth it your too stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not that he's ever bought us rentals, but very glad to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to explain to you its not worth it your too stupid. I said a "worthwhile" return. You can trade all of the vets that you want, but the return will not be there especially this year with the expansion draft hanging over all 30 rosters.

-AJ- Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm glad. I want to make a push for the playoffs, but I don't want to sell off picks or young players to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has been showing us his skill since his first draft. Yes, but if he had 2nd rounder with him, he would have gotten them both ready to play this year but they didn't have that. We have all picks in first four rounds, something we didn't have that since forever when we used that for rentals in the past. Not to mention an extra pick in Columbus' 2nd pick for Torts in either 2017 or 2018. We are in a good position wherever we finish up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time stamp was just after midnight tomorrow morning, and seems to have arrived here today just after 4pm Vancouver time. So probably posted from somewhere in the UK or Ireland (eight hours time difference). Writer is Sean O'Leary, which is a pretty Irish name, although he could easily be posting anywhere in the GMT time zone, from Greenland to Ghana and points in between.

ice orca Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 1 hour ago, apollo said: Obviously we shouldn't spend picks and/or prospects for rental players... but if a player on a longer deal is available, then they definitely should. I'd have no problem selling assets to get a guy like Duchene or Landeskog... if we sold for a guy like Iginla, then I'd have problems. Dushene or Landeskog is going to cost a 1st and a good young prospect, do you really want to go down that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope he does it mid season or off season Be nice if this organization could go 1 decade with selling futures for mediocrity in a mad dash to make the playoffs and fight to the middle.

Baggins Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not sure why this is news. Benning said ages ago he wouldn't trade for rentals. Just as he didn't year before last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying we have more picks then before does not = Benning didn't have a chance to showcase his skills in previous drafts. That was what you implied. I agree we are in good shape though.
