I bet he gets new contract here
- VANTEL

Stop-gap to allow McCann another year in junior.

lol...I think we'll be ok. With the amount of space Benning will be clearing squeezing Sutter in will not be a problem.
- LordHumungous

I would honestly say you're better off walking away from Sutter. Try to trade him later this year
He really isn't much of a player. Soft, doesn't check, hit or make himself noticed. Walk away from all pieces would be my advice. I think you'll get dissapointed with Sutter quickly.

So Kesler, Forsling/Clendening, and a BIEKSA for McCann, Sbisa, Sutter, and a 3rd
- Nucker101

fixed

Is it?

If you wanted Markstrom to be the guy, then why not let him battle Lack for the starting job? He'll learn more that way than watching Ryan Miller not give a poop for 60 games this year.

I mean, if you want to get younger, get younger. Don't half-ass it.
- BINGO!

Trust me, some of us have posted this exact thing many times but some people here still believe in JimBo and LensCrafters no matter what.

Bonino had 10 pts less in VAN than in ANA with way more TOI in Van...we ain't gonna miss his inconsistency and poor skating...

Players tend to get more points with better teams.

Another troll, Sutter is amazing! He is a CLEAR upgrade on Bonino and a much better value at his cap hit and future cap hit

No you don't, because Lack is not a bonifide NHL starter, Miller is. They obviously believe in Markstrom. Having a veteran like Miller mentor Markstrom is the way to go IMO.

Getting younger for the sake of getting younger is stupid, get younger with players that are actually good. This simple use of math to get younger is idiotic.

I lost faith after the Sbisa extension.

I do know I didn't like Bonino as a second line centre.

I think the move today reinforces the teams trust in S isa

So Kesler, Forsling/Clendening, and a 2nd for McCann, Sbisa, Sutter, and a 3rd

Remember a couple seasons ago when the rumour was Gillis wanted to trade Kesler to Pitt for Sutter, Despres, and a 1st

Assuming that 1st got McCann or a similar prospect I actually prefer that deal now

And Gillis would have been ripped here if he did it, yet some people will defend this.

That 3 Rd round pick was originally the Canucks which means they can offer sheet a player

I do know I didn't like Bonino as a second line centre.
- VANTEL

Bonino was horrible. Soft as hell and horrible in the faceoff cirlce and sooooo slow! Only thing i liked about him was his shot.

Sutter is seen as the inferior offensive player, but he scored 6 more goals than Bonino while being stuck behind Crosby and Malkin.

I like the deal for the nucks.

So Kesler, Forsling/Clendening, and a 2nd for McCann, Sbisa, Sutter, and a 3rd
- Nucker101

No...

Kesler and a 3rd for Sutter, McCann, Sbisa & Dorsett

Forsling for Clendening

Bieksa for a 2nd

So:

Kesler, 3rd, 2nd, Bieksa & Forsling for Sutter, McCann, Sbisa, Dorsett & 3rd

How is Benning supposed to sign Sven now?

Just another example of the Canucks complete lack of top six players.

Mr. Sunshine

No...

Forsling for Clendening

Bieksa for a 2nd

So:

Kesler, 3rd, 2nd, Bieksa & Forsling for Sutter, McCann, Sbisa, Dorsett & 3rd
- LeftCoaster

Still looks pretty bad. Just break down piece by piece.

Luongo, Schneider, Kesler, Bieksa, Lack = Markstrom, Horvat, Sbisa, Sutter, Dorsett, McCann, 3rd, 3rd, 7th, retained salary on Luongo.

Just another example of the Canucks complete lack of top six players.

And this won't help...

Last season:

Eddie Lack

41 Games Played. 2.45 GAA, .921 Save Percentage

Ryan Miller

45 Games Played. 2.53 GAA, .911 Save Percentage

hmmmm...

So you're logic is that it's better to keep the expensive old guy who put up worse numbers last season because he's better?

Do we have our original second?
Annnnnnnnnd any cap space

How is Benning supposed to sign Sven now?
- Whiskey-Tango

Sven should be signed for 1 mil max or traded
