Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 The more I analyze this deal, the more I want to tell all of the negative whiners on here and in the media to bite me. OEL is a helluva player and garland is a top 15 winger in the league. We also have cap space and Dickinson. If your not happy with this, you are an irrational Benning hater and not a Canucks fan. Go cheer for Buffalo, they have lots of Draft picks to cheer for. 5 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate move from a desperate GM. Congratulations. Brayden Point is 5' 10", weighs 166 lbs. Edited July 23, 2021 by oldnews 3 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rekker Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 Great job JB. They can't keep wasting the best years of Bo and JT and at some point you need to go for it with what you got. Hopefully Hamonic likes these changes enough to put pen to paper and if that happens this is a legit team. Add Pods, Rath, and a second year Hogs and bring on some competition ready to get Demkoed. I'm fine with Schmidt staying and betting he is more like the second half player we saw. If he's on the trade block it's a first or a legit young dman or stuff it. I'm real happy with these two new additions and lost dead weight. Awesome. 5 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave you with wishing for the unknown, I’ll watch this team turn a page towards success. I mean I do find it quite baffling but not surprising the anti-Benning crowd would react this way led by their leader Blake Price. We have seen firsthand what a change of scenery can do, JT, Toffoli, are two of our own examples. The fact we improved without a buyout or losing picks is already a big win. If he wants he can still create an additional 13 million in cap to further add. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JM_ Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 I know one thing, we are a much better team today than we were last week. We'll see where it all shakes out, but as of right now we really don't have a bad player under contract, depending on how you view Holtby. And he might not be here soon. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 At first I was "Wow! we're actually getting OEL and Garland! Hmm sucks to lose the 1st, but wait a minute...Benning was able to trade Eriksson, Roussel and Beagle too?" Reminds me of a song "Master! Master! Master of Armstrong, Jim's pulling his strings!!" I feel lighter 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has had some bumps along the way but man was he good at that time and the crowd went wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Fist Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 18 minutes ago, Dazzle said: No, he's not worth it. This is what happens next, I think. Schmidt's likely gone, so we'll get some cap space, and/or roster players and/or draft picks. Holtby, we can either keep him, or we can trade him. Either way we still have an asset we can use. Buyout is a waste, but it could save us cap space if need be. All we need is to fill in the roster with cheapish players, which we have plenty of in the system. Guys like Macewen, Bailey, Gadjovich, etc all have a chance to make a solid contribution to this team. Fourth line - A cheap player, whether it be our farm team or UFA, we have space now. We're going to be just fine. I think we should keep holtby and Schmidt. Our teams different now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
