Jim Benning. How to build a team 101. BOOM !!!! Hello Mike Gillis. #VancouverCanucks #draftpicks

Sexy trade.

Not so sure this is good?
- seabass21

we got him as a FA.... got a 2nd out of it.... can't complain... and it clears space for possible UFA's....

Stastny 6 years 7 mil ,before you go ,that would give you
Sedin Stastny Bonino Horvat Mathias down the middle .

Bieksa Ekblad Tanev COrrado RH
Edler Hamhuis Sbasa plus on left side

Kassian and Jensen.

That would be a good first year of MGmt
- VANTEL

And in such a strong draft!

How's the Phanuef trade going? Any suckers /takers yet?

a lot of scouts say this draft gets a bad rep because their isn't a generational player in it. There are however quality NHLers like all drafts. Aside from the top couple guys missing its a decent draft...

@ADanielWagner

"Trading Garrison is not about clearing cap space for this season. It's about clearing capspace for every season through 2018."

It's become clear that there is no retool. This is full rebuild! Which is the best news. Getting younger and stock piling younger assets. I really like it. Cap space and lots of draft picks. New era has officially began.

UFA centres are going to be 6+ this year

Benning has also traded the mind room to Pittsburgh for futures. Sleep doctor has NTC. May not waive.

Too many, can't understand

- VANTEL

7 mil is fine because it is free agency. But that term is

If Kane and Toews get 12 mill that will look like a steal for a stasny type for 7 lol

True. Hope there is no Miller/hiller coming here.

Depends on Term and $$... for the right deal a veteran goalie wouldn't be a bad move.

We can afford to overpay a couple FA for a couple years.

I like both moves you Guys made today. Kesler locked you down with the NTC and you still got two roster players and first-round pick, and Garrison nets you another valuable pick.

Sbisa's been inconsistent, but there's enough there to make today pretty damn good for you guys, I feel. Clearing out Kesler...when guys want out, it doesn't matter where they go

True. Hope there is no Miller/hiller coming here.

You might have the number 1 goaltending tandem in the league
(I say this^ assuming you mean coming to boston)

It's been a good day so far and they are probably just warming up. This could be a huge franchise day.

But You need to attract him away from Col. I think one overpayment for a proven center to carry you for 6 years ( that is young)

If Kane and Toews get 12 mill that will look like a steal for a stasny type for 7 lol

That is exactly what I had in mind . It will allow Horvat Bonino to grow.
