And we may pay for it. Though I do have less of an issue if that player is used as part of a trade than just tossing them on waivers.

It's not like the Canucks invested a lot in Corrado to begin with. There will be lot's of guys able to do what Corrado did in his time here. Which is almost nothing. And after watching Hutton and Biega outplay Corrado. He was expendable.

haters gonna hate.

I read twitter a lot lately #kidstalk

Clearly, losing all those players has made the Canucks a worse team (as every blogger/expert/stats magician in the universe has made abundently clear.

Sounds like the only one of the group that has excelled has been Lack.
Bieska settling in but not earthshaking.
Bonino - Meh
Kassian - Die hard Habs fan asked me today if we would take him back - for nothing
Rest sound like fodder or worse.

From a Vancouver perspective:
Markstrom vs Lack - open to debate but both looking outstanding
Bonino vs Sutter - Sutter did not excel but still an improvement
Bieska vs Bartowski/Hutton - no contest, clear Vancouver win
Richardson/Matthias/Sestito/Vey vs Baertschi/McCann/Virtanen - duh - even Gaunce is an upgrade on any of the 4 departures - and he got sent down to Utica.
Krackian vs Prust - One of Bennings finest moments

At this point I give Benning

It should be Lack and Markstrom.. Miller should have been shipped out or even waived.

I take Bonino all day over Sutter with the contract he has.

Coach Desjardins: "We would have liked to keep Frankie, but he needs to play. He wasn't one of our top-6 guys in camp. We wish him well"

In other words, nice knowin ya, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Bennington said he called 12-15 teams trying to trade COrrado , no takers

At least he isn't throwing in any picks like the Prust deal.

More cowbell.

Benning says he talked to 12 to 15 teams about trading Corrado, no takers so they cut him loose. Says he's a great kid and deserves a shot. Wanted to keep him but wishes him well in TO.

Sounds like:


"I hate his name, I hate his face, and I cried myself to sleep every night knowing he was still in this organization, thank God it's over"

It was on the 1040 , rebroadcast from the scrum at the rink.

Oh oh, pick me pick me.

His fourth line?

Sekeres being an asshat today on the 1040.

Benning did everything aside from coming out and blatantly saying we didn't like COrrado on this team. Take the hint Sekeres, there was no plan for Frankie .

Hutton Biega Pedan and Fedun all passed him in the depth charts
