J.T. Miller for 1st & 3rd round picks and Goalie Marek Mazanec. Tyler Toffoli for Tim Schaller, Tyler Madden, 2nd & conditional 4th round picks.

Toffoli played one game against Minnesota on August 2, Did not play against St-Louis, And played 6 of the 7 games against the Knights. Benning and his team have brought bountiful success to this franchise already and we're just starting. Our boys grew a lot this year. All of this is true, but instead of building team depth we are losing depth. Yes, it's a pandemic. Yes, we also have terrible contracts on this team costing us way more than this flat cap. We have over $20 million in fodder that got caved in every time they touched the ice in the playoffs that we are stuck with while better players walk out the door. It's hard not to be very disappointed about that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Toffoli first and then we will go for there. If Marky walks off and gets something north of $5 million and more term, good for him, the man has earned it. We are 2 days away from free agency, not a single pending UFA is resigned, not a single bad contract was moved off the team. We got to atleast start something, because we can't just sit here and wait for Arizona's decision. Just call their GM and be like "hey, it is either now or never, we have other plans to make as well." Pressure them. benning can't pressure anybody he is probably getting pressured from Arizona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 In retrospect, if everything goes wrong and we lose out on Toffoli/Marky/Tanev and OEL we could just roll with the youngsters and stock up on picks. Trade for MAF, take his full cap hit for a 1st, 2nd/good prospect/etc. Trade Pearson(1/2 retained). Could take advantage of someone who wants to clear cap like TBL with Killorn. Maybe we net Foote and a good pick... maybe? I know it wouldn't be the most ideal of situations but you could definitely make the most of a bad scenario.

Somehow, I’m really not worried about the job Benning does as much as I’m excited to see his wonderful work getting done. And if it happens that Toffoli, Markstrom and/ or Tanev aren’t in the plans, then so be it. Edited October 8, 2020 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyg43 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Too bad he goes free tomorrow. our cap is horrendous maxed to the max.we can probably lose other’s tomorrow who should not be going out the door but keeping a small trio that cannot be moved , that should be . He did not play enough games for us . What’s it mean we gave up a second an prospective minor players. Our team loves trading second round picks away. It would have been great to sign him.

Tystick Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The only thing that makes sense to me is most of our pending UFA's are playing hardball and/or an OEL trade is close. I guess Benning is fine with letting these guys walk and signing replacements if need be. Hopefully everything becomes clear tomorrow. So far I'm not really disappointed, I liked the draft and we still have plenty of cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracksuit Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Pretty disappointed to see the effective Goal scoring 2nd line winger Leave. ge fit in so seamlessly and gave us scoring depth. some of us knew the Ridiculous over spending on ufas was going to cost us down the road and this year it looks like it’s going to cost us a starting goaltender a top 4 defenders a Top six forward And a few others. sure hope we don’t add a over paid over rated Dman and really screw this team up. we don’t seem like a team that should be throwing away 2nd round picks and Good prospects for rentals at this point in the build.

Zhukini Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Maybe if we get a 0.99Sv% next playoffs we might make it further. Don't see the other options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Kinda odd how quiet it is right now on the canuck front. Only leaks involving the canucks have been players leaving. Not many rumors linking us to any players. I know we're of limited cap space but if all those rumored actually hit FA we suddenly have 14m to spend. Anyone else find this weird?
