Fwiw… I’m hearing the Canucks are after another 3C, but with skill, bumping Dickinson to a pure checking line with Motte and ?

I think that's a mistake. I didn't know much about Dickinson but after research I see him as having more skill to develop or at least show. I think it would be a shame to stifle that. Re-sign Sutter for the 4th for a super cheap contract, then have a backup waiting in the AHL. (Not sure who that is with Lind gone and others at the end of their contracts)

I was uneasy when i heard that benning made a trade. It “seemed” like a knee jerk reaction, swing for the fences in an attempt to save his job move. I wasnt impressed with taking cap back, despite offloading the dead weight, and losing out on the ninth and second rounder. Ive learned to give benning the benefit of the doubt with his trades since Miller so i held my thoughts to see how the draft panned out. 

 

Once again, i realize how shrewd benning actually is. Its like he knew what would be left at number nine. He really is on a whole other level on draft day. I think only a few other gms come close to it. 

I'm hearing that they had an idea of how things were going to play out last night.  May have factored in.

Just talking heads. Doesn't matter what they say..

 

JB hit a grand slam home run today. 

Pretty sure Jim just shortened our rebuild by a year.  A situation of his own making mebbe, but no matter, he went n gotter fixed.

Forwards decline faster than defencemen, so I'm not seeing an exact Loui parallel here.

I hope Jim landed a running long kick in the tender bits of Loui's disappearing arse following his exit interview.

We no longer have to suffer that selfish, cheap penalty machine, or scream for one-shift Beagle to keep up.

Virt n Edlar n Sutter n Ferland gone also helps Jim regain a little of the control he lost while gambling.

Happiest 'Nuck I've been since Gillis barged in to piss on everybody's strawberries.

If that D coach is assigned paperwork duties only, we'll make progress.

If Jim can entice mo grit, we're competing.

Travis ..... szit or get off the pot please.

Agreed. I’m just not seeing this as a loss. 9 wasn’t netting them anything in this draft specifically that would offset the need to fix the cap and get more top tier D help. Add Garland, and I’m even less concerned. I don’t like losing that 2nd though but it is what it is. 
For some reason I don’t think Benning is done either....

People don't know how good garland is . Especially playing on a sht team. He's flown under the radar.  Probably why he was able to poach him. Well said

Why is Erikkson gettin a “thank you”

No no you got that wrong. That’s Eriksson thanking the Canucks for 36 mill of free money. 

[Bounce000]

Bettman after the Canucks gave Arizona a replacement first round pick.

[#Canucks]

If Loui retires or scores 20 goals this season…. This trade is a loss !

[bishopshodan]

Benning is looking real good today.

 

He knew what would be left at 9.

 

One of his best days in his tenure.

He’s 30 and his play has fallen off a cliff for not one or two years - like four or five years. 

 

 

Nope, has not, complete lie. Look up the stats. He has been putting up the same number for the last 6 years. 

2014-15	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	82	23	20	43	40	-18	--	--	--	--	--
2015-16	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	75	21	34	55	96	-6	--	--	--	--	--
2016-17	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	79	12	27	39	48	-25	--	--	--	--	--
2017-18	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	82	14	28	42	44	-28	--	--	--	--	--
2018-19	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	81	14	30	44	52	-16	--	--	--	--	--
2019-20	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	66	9	21	30	38	-3	9	1	3	4	8
2020-21	Arizona Coyotes	NHL	46	3	21	24

 

40+ point D man, and is going to continue that for another 3+ years. Arizona did not have(or ever had during OEL time) the top end players Vancouver has. You will see him get back to the 50 point mark for the next couple years in Van.

Can we all take a moment to put our differences aside and at least come together on the fact that Eriksson is gone?

true , now if he can get a great RHD we will be set!!

[AlwaysACanuckFan]

Finally read through all these pages...

For me this a great trade for the Canucks. OEL and Garland are gonna look good in a Canucks uniform. Pearson Horvat Garland line is going to look good.
