Wouldn't mind a 1 year deal, but pretty sure he's looking to cash in on a long-term deal since he's sensing the end is near. Exactly what we need while we let Juolevi get up to speed in Utica for a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 We have Edler, Hughes, Hutton already with up and comers like Sautner and brisebois close to breaking in. It would’nt make sense unless he was our 7th D and by seeing how much he’s played in MTL, I doubt that that would entice him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Schenn before Benn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 He'd be a solid third pairing/excellent 7th dman. Would sign if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hutton made a nice leap last season. Committed to summer training now. Fits in with the guys. Unless we get an obvious upgrade(at a great deal), should stick with this devil we know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Seems like yet another player people only want because he’s a local boy. I know the Canucks are trying to reshape the D but they should be looking for things other than being born here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big kids who'll drop the mitts for their teammates. I'd like our squad to have 8-10 guys like that. If your suspicions are ever the case, I'd trust JB to nip it in the bud.

VIC_CITY Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 One thing I will say about Jordie is he was always the harder worker of the two Benn brothers. Jamie had the natural skill, whereas Jordie had the better work ethic. Having said that, we don't really have a need for him right now. So Benning would definitely need to ship someone out. That is unless Schenn isn't going to re-sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bro is the C here in Dallas and nobody seemed to care when he went to MTL at the time lol. Well, maybe his bro. Would rather re-sign Schenn on a 1-year "show me" deal around $1.5-2mil. Schenn has shown me enough to get a one year one-way contract. At the very least, he’s a great vet to have on the Comets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 We have enough bottom pairing D. In fact, most of our D are bottom pairing. Forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value isn’t anywhere near what people on this board seem to think it is, his value is much higher for us to just keep him, he’s young, still has potential and can build off a strong year that he just had. Our defensive depth is nowhere near solid enough and throwing away young dmen will do us absolutely no good. Trading assets like Tanev makes much much much much much more sense. Our only roadblock is our lack of D depth... Benn helps (even though I know he’s a LD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) would be a decent target if he played the right side. people here sandbagging him for some reason, but his outcomes last year were pretty good. 5/17/22 pts +15 18 minutes 49% ozone starts 53.4% corsi 124 hits. 128 blocks 3.2 on ice goals for per 60, 2.7 against. 2:46 / game short-handed ice time. Played principally with Kulak and Petry He's probably going to do alright in free agency. Edited June 20, 2019 by oldnews 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take a 2nd and a prospect over 55 games a season of a 4.45 cap, and would much rather get younger and stronger with someone like Ristolainen. Sure, defensive D are important but we need offense, and we need it desperately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
