Hughes - Schmidt Edler - Myers Benn - Rafferty Juolevi hmmm, that 3rd pairing sure looks mediocre I would rather go with: Hughes - Myers Edler - Schmidt Juolevi - UFA Rafferty, Benn I want the Canucks to pick up a cheap UFA D to play 3rd pairing and keep Benn as a 7th/8th D-man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any cap space to get another D. I think Benn will be the 6/7 D as he is willing to play either side. They might switch back and forth as listed below depending on which rookie is playing well or struggling. Juolevi -- Benn Benn -- Rafferty Rathbone - Benn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Smart move by JB, sending Fanta to Russia (SKA) as our spy to make sure he communicates to Podz just how awesome it is to play in Vancouver compared to Russia. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. + = (Jim Benning; cloak and dagger edition). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league KHL maximum salary is set at 1.5 million...it’s nothing like the money grab some former NHLers enjoyed. And as a curiousity, Vey was a PGP last season which also shows how much the skill level is fading over there. At one point 10million dollar contracts were handed out to marquee guys trying to compete with the NHL and bring home their players ... not anymore. The SHL and AHL both have a claim at which is the second best league in the world now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Rafferty becomes the top four D Craig Button - who’s credibility is top shelf expects him to become - which is a top four NHL D. It’s entirely possible IF JB gets another NHL D in the system that when the ED happens we will lose out on something hidden within our current system. Sure hope he doesn’t and that it gives our team a chance to see what’s coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
