No matter what everyone else says, I believe you are a valuable member of our group.

If Benning wants to win now he better make more moves
- VANTEL

He doesn't have anything left to improve the team without hurting the future, he said he won't do that.

Toss out a few possibles...

Stamkos, Brouwer, Eriksson, Martin. 1 or 2 of those.
Dump Burrows/Higgins for anything.
Or ask Burrows to retire & be an assistant on the farm lol
Move Miller if he thinks Marky is ready.
- that depends on Miller of course but likely not realistic.

Ok open to criticism 😂😂

Burrows may get us something small from a cap floor team with internal budget. 4.5m cap but only 3m actual salary. Higgins is our problem. Mark isn't ready yet, maybe at TDL see about moving Miller.

I think even eating a mil of Burrows' salary would work (cheaper than a buyout). Maybe send him to Florida or Zona?

Send Higgins to Utica and recall every other week until he retires or another team picks him up.

And Miller might request a trade if he is splitting duties with Markstrom.

Miller is fine this was all part of the plan. Burrows and Higgins well yeah.

If mark won't resign, trade him then. it isn't rocket science.

Well, as I said earlier, they have about 10 million in cap space but have to re-sign a bunch of RFA's, so realistically they can sign one expensive UFA, which I think he'll TRY and do.

Higgins was in the minors for most of last year so getting rid of him doesn't make the team better, dumping Burrows doesn't make the team better because you'll have to pay to get rid of his contract. Buying him out simply gives you a bit more money to spend in the immediate but hurts you long term.

Moving Miller at 6 million, same thing, gonna cost you to move that and how does that make the team better? Gives you more money but is this realistic?

Vantel was saying one more trade to make the team better, I say there's nothing left to trade to make the team better unless Benning is willing to trade kids and more picks....I don't think he is.

Trading Edler doesn't make the team better, it makes it worse unless they get a top 2 dman back, so what's the point of trading him?

Trading Hansen makes the team worse unless you overpay with prospects or draft picks to improve on Hansen, as I said, Benning IMO won't do that.

I wish they'd take a step back, but they won't, obviously.

He doesn't have anything left to improve the team without hurting the future, he said he won't do that.

We said the same thing last year when I suggested Gudbrandson for McCann.

We do have plenty of tradable pieces but when we do pull the trigger the fan base explodes. I could name you half a dozen tradable pieces still without breaking a sweat

You can't trade anymore youth, that's crazy, it's turning the team into the former Leafs.

You wanna rebuild but you want to trade all our youth

You would be trading youth for youth.

Just an example Not necessarily these two players but take the concept, AVs are looking for a big Dman for Duchense . Tryamkin is a big Dman . Yes he has played 13 games but he looks like a very decent prospect. You can add players or picks to make a deal. Canucks future center solved draft Sergachev to replace Tryamkin.

Everything is possible .

Name them please

Granlund, Vey or Gaunce, who fits the best for the 4th line centre position? Is there a spot on the wing for whoever isn't going to be centre?

Is Etem a good fit?

Does Grenier get resigned? any chance he earns a spot at training camp?

I didn't female dog about your team at all today. I was merely commenting on a weak Habs critique. Try again.

Regardless, anyone can go into any thread and criticize another teams management without being a troll. Where do you get this idea that every thread in HB is a safe space for that teams fans where only they can criticize their organization but others can't?

Also, it's not like a hate the Nucks or anything. I actively root for them to improve and take interest in their improvement process (which is why I occasionally comment on it).

Your active rooting worries me.
