lethunder Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 14 minutes ago, mll said: It's unfair to Benning to expect that he can get a similar return for Vanek as Nash. His past playoffs might limit his return. Rick Nash in his last 5 years playoff experience is only a .52 ppg player. That's the same ppg as Vanek in his only two playoff runs in the last 5 years. Rick Nash is the most overrated player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to have the same team playing the tank game for the next 3 years. We have Gudbranson, Gagner, Eriksson for 3 years and more and you want to sign another player who is in his mid 30s? I don't understand the logic, are we contending for the cup or are we rebuilding because keeping the status quo is just idiotic especially with the number of prospects Canucks have that will be ready as early as next year. Then we also re-sign the Sedins too and then you will have zero spots for Gaudette, Petersson, Lind, Gadjovich, Lockwood and our top 5-10 pick from this year. We seriously need to unload the some of the vets because am just not going to watch this crapfest with the same players for the next 3 years. The only reason that I even tuned into the Canucks this year was because of Boeser and the Canucks finally having a future but if they keep resigning the same old washed up players, I won't watch them anymore. The on ice product just feels stagnant and it really need to be revitalized by some youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not Vanek that got bought out of a contract? Pretty sure it was. To me that's kind of a red flag for a three year deal. And dont get me wrong. Vanek has been one of the reasons to watch this year. I like Vanek, but at some point the team really needs to turn the page and start injecting some more youth to this team. If we didn't have Eriksson and Gagner wasting roster spots, I would be more inclined with Vanek re-signing with the Canucks for a couple of years. But Benning goofed and signed those two useless players that are now taking valuable roster spots away from our top prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trade him even for a 4th or a 5th honestly. I mean how much is Vanek's worth in the remaining 20 games of the season?? Get something for him now because this is the best option right now because the alternative is nothing. Plus we know Benning can get good players even in the 5th round. Heck, Gaudette was a149th overall pick and some people are comparing him to Bergeron, let that sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he is the plan b when Kane,Hoffman, and Maroon are moved. Seeing Nick Ritchie getting mentioned a bit on twitter. Just speculation from mostly no name users and some mock trade tweets but it’s kinda interesting and when I think about it, it’s a the kind of acquisition that’s not unlike some of JB’s previous moves. Ritchie might actually benefit from a change of scenery, especially to to a rebuilding team. And when he’s on his game, he definitely fits Benning’s brief of “a big forward with physicality, who can make plays.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good business apparently. Especially if Leafs media picks you up as an (anal)yst to cover the team. Botchford is a poor excuse for a reporter. I remember Botch being on the of the guys in the morning show and he was cutting off a caller who was talking about goaltending (the caller played Major junior) and Botch was acting like he knows more about the position because he's talked to more guys in league circles LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pratt is annoying and loud but those other 2 guys the handful of times I have heard them they banter with listeners and just full on have a hatred for every move Canucks make Bro jake is a moron, that guy does not belong in the airwaves whatsoever. The morning show in 1040 is absolute garbage ever since Bro Jake joined the scene. Seems like ages and ages ago when the morning show had Ferraro before his tsn tv days and I think it was Donny taylor, my gawd were we spoiled. Absolutely looked forward to the drive to work listening to those guys rip it up. Ferraro's stories and insights were top notch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 By MacIntyre - Benning's update on Vanek: Interestingly, Benning didn’t rule out the possibility of a NTC on a future deal for Vanek even though he has been steadfast in excluding them in recent multi-year contracts for Gudbranson, Bo Horvat, Sam Gagner and Michael Del Zotto. “That’s something we’ve shied away from giving out because it ties your hands,” Benning said. “But I understand it from the player’s perspective and sometimes that’s the only way you can get a free agent. We look at each case individually.” Benning understands he faces severe criticism if he fails to make a trade and Vanek leaves the Canucks as a UFA next summer. “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how hard you work, you have to have another team that wants your player enough to do a deal,” Benning said. “We’ve made all the calls.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we're not getting it for Vanek. It would have to be Tanev going back the other way with more coming back. Only way we get a 1st would be if we add something else with Vanek.

I would love to move a lot of people for picks and prospects and good young players but from the looks of it we’ll trade Vanek and only Vanek it’s unfortunate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
