He won't have to when Benning offers him 12 million per for seven years.

That is exactly what it would cost.

Still a better contract then Sbisa.

Why would you trade Canada's best Dman

Seriously if we could trade him to improve our D , I would .

Miller, Sbisa, Burrows & Higgins are eating up 16 million in cap space

Sbisa Pedan Hansen for Barrie/2nd

Pretty much says it all.

No one (me) ever said build only thru the draft, you build a core thru the draft and then you surround them when the time is right. The Canucks don't have a core to surround yet.
- LeftCoaster

To hear Yost call it, the guy is a pylon and should barely be in the leg. Gudbranson is Billy Bean (the player) of the NHL.

But he's got 2 hot girlfriends, so at least he isn't short on confidence.

13m freed up next year. This year cap space is a non issue

Tanev Barrie straight up. We got the beasts need the O
- Nighthawk

They were talking on the 1040 earlier today that linden told them they talked to Sakic b4 this trade about Barrie and it would have cost Hutton or Tanev,so Canucks said no.

That is exactly what it would cost.
- VANTEL

I'd pay it considering there's no clear #1 center in the organization and he's young. Add Lucic too....they only cost money. Continue to draft well though.

Give me Daigle Wickenheiser Stefan Nolan & Yak

Those 5 r unstoppable

The chick? She's good, but never played physical enough.

I am very anxious to see all of them gone.

Sbisa Pedan Hansen for Barrie/2nd
- Nighthawk

He is something I think will happen this year and you will hate it. I see Benning trading for Torey Krug . If fills the 2 nd pair LHD that scores and puts up points.

Krug will be out at the start of next season with hand surgery and Benning is familiar . Don't be surprised to see it happen.

I think it would be JV going back too .
- VANTEL

If that happens, I will switch over to the hate JB side, I like JV as a prospect and hope he has 10+ years as a canuck.

Yes but likely only to a certain extent. Many have said the same thing about Sbisa when he was acquired, even though the player is relatively young, generally you have a pretty good idea of what a player will be by the time they play 300 games.

McCann is a lot harder to predict based off of 69 games and 4 year younger.

Johansen, Fisher, Turris among others all had very similar(points wise) 19 year old seasons. IMO he needs some time in the AHL but that doesn't mean he can't become a good top 6 C in this league.
- belcherbd

Come on, Sbisa isn't that bad. He's not that good either, but he's not a bad player.

Good luck with that

Nowhere near enough. More =/= better.

Any offer has to start with a 1st rounder in 2016/2017 IMO

I am very anxious to see all of them gone.
- VANTEL

Me too...along with Vey, Hamhuis, Bartkowski, Weber.

Doug the 2nd best player in the family😂😂

- LeftCoaster

I think 1 Stamkos @ 12 mil is better than 2 Sedins at this age @ 14 mil

I hope so but Virtanens name was mentioned last year as one of the players that felt entitlement.
- VANTEL

Easily dealt with, send him down to AHL and he won't feel entitled.

Look at Winnipeg who has an abundance of top end talent, well rounded team and finish bottom 10

You will be sorely disappointed if you think 5 high end prospects will win you a cup
- VANTEL

Agreed.

12 picks this year. 10 last year.

Added a bunch prospects through trades.

Need some of those guys beyond highend to pan out.

Have depth to make some trades and will need a few long-term free agent signings.

A lot needs to happen.

Oh, and who cares about the jets. Budget team with a ballless gm.

Good luck with that

Thought ppl would laugh at it lol

It would cost Tanev. That's what Linden said today.

Barrie is not worth a top 5 pick, i wouldnt do a top 10 for him. Small and overrated.

I disagree there, I think that he's excellent. Needs to work out a bit to bulk up a little, but his skill and vision is top notch.

When u get a seasoned young RH offensive D a 5OA is ballpark.
Takes jam but if a GM sees a fit & the need it makes sense.
