lol...how bout Ek reporting Santorelli and Franson possibly in Canucks sights??

I can see Franson but how does Santorelli fill our top 6 need??

Who is reporting that ? some call in on 1040? I can understand moving Kassian if there is some value coming back but moving him for the sake of moving him makes zero sense. Claiming he is addicted is ridiculous.....

If you hear it once ,you dismiss it. If you hear it again and again by different sources you pay attention to it.

Being benched for being hung over for morning practice is like a suspension with pay. He hs been benched multiple times by multiple coaches for that reason.

Yeah no addiction there

I see Kopecky, but no Zidlicky. to both of them!

Any legit source for that ?

Any team that pays Franson the kind of money he's asking for is stupid. Plain and simple.

I like Santo, but not as a rental.

Gallagher Willies and MacIntyre have all hinted around at the drinking problem.

Don't we have enough third liners?

I would rather Horvat at third line centre over Santo

You mean Seattle. When's the last time a team tried to start a brawl with 15 sec left in the superbowl? I can't stand either team but that's classless

I mean the white good looking quarterback who knocked up 2 chicks and he's a hero. When a black guy does it he's a dirtbag loser.
Coach who bends the rules, cheats and does whatever it takes to win, and he's the "greatest coach of alltime".
Grankowski is the definition of white jock meathead.
Don't get me started on Kraft...

Not sure what happened at the end, but Grankowski was one of the instigators. Too bad it ended that way, but the emotions all came out obviously.

And if they are pending ufa's if they are resigned...

Really only see us moving a dman like Weber or Stanton and a bottom 6 forward... Santorelli brings a little offense but lacks size and grit we need.

I think it rumour is there to just generate hits...

Santorelli is a third liner. Our third line and fourth is not the problem

Our soft slow first and second lines are the problem

I think JB is happy with the D now and wants a top 6 forward
- VANTEL

If we can get another good young D for a cheap third liner we could use Hamhuis to get say ROR. Young top 6 left wing or Center. We do have some growing pains on our young D for a while but let's face it at this point it is harder Tom et a top 6 forward then to find a top pairing D man for us.

They finally removed the artifical dye from kraft dinner. Obesity is largely (pardon the pun) to be blamed on Kraft.

Can't see Hamhuis waiving his NTC.

I don't even know who our second line is anymore... guess it is Matthias, Bonino, and whoever.

Just thinking if we miss the playoffs, ntc's are more likely to be waived for some summertime trades...

If Benning can trade for a top6 winger... maybe the complexion changes a bit too. Clendening seems to have given a little spark to the lineup.

Matthias has sucked lately despite the "promotion". He's been like Booth, carries the puck a lot but there's no vision and not much happening besides just looking dangerous.

Problem is we have young kids and old guys. We don't want to give up our young kids , they don't want our old guys. There is a trade somewhere but you need to look under a lot of rocks to find it.
- VANTEL

Well put.

So Kassian benched for party hardy attitude. Is this guy stupid or what. Sometimes addictions take over your life.

I don't see any way Canucks should wait until this guy figures out his problems time to move him.
- VANTEL

I see it as possible but there's no source outside of fans like you saying this right?

That is most of the bottom 9...

Kenins has shown okay in his 2 games. Gawd, not much to be excited about on the whole.

Also agree. Kassian and Lack seem like the most "trade-able" assets Benning has.

I agree, but it's funny how he escapes criticism from fans/media unlike the rest. There's a reason why this guy was on the 3rd and even 4th on the Florida Panthers. He's a big, but not physically aggressive offensive 4th liner on a contender.

Not like WD has better choices but at this point they should move out a vet(Higgins preferably) and give Jensen a look.
