if we fall in the draft order to the #15 range. KAILER YAMAMOTO buff said, if anyone else watches Spokane like I do you know what I mean

I was saying this a few weeks ago, he could be the Kane/Gaudreau of this draft.

yes I am curious

Sorry, I'm a little busy these days so I'm paraphrasing here.

Q. Have you talked to Burrows/Hansen about the possibility of trades.

Benning.
No, I want them to focus on winning the next few important games and we will maybe talk to them during the break depending on where we're at.

Q. On resigning Miller ?

Benning.
We'll see how the season goes, been really good for us, talked about it recently internally and will see how the season plays out.

Q. would they make another Baertschi/Granlund trade at TDL
Benning
That's what we have been discussing in scouting meeting, teams have depth in positions, we have depth in positions , call up GM's and see if there is a fit.

Q. is it a Sellers market?
Benning.
Not a lot of teams selling right now and teams will wait until the TDL until deciding.

Q. Is Markstrom a #1
Benning.
He's at that age where goalies step up, he will get more opportunities next year.


Edit.
There was lots of other info but I listened to it in a few different chunks and couldn't remember most of it.

What makes me smile is that the season is almost over.

I rarely agree with you. But I do now.

He's so slick. There's no flash in this organization.

I'm applying to go back overseas, if I get something we're moving down to the USA, I might never watch hockey again...beat that lol

liar! fake media!

colorado did not need 7 drafts before winning the cup!!!!! they won in their first year of existence.

canucks need to emulate the avalanche model! stanley cup 2018 is possible if the team stays away from people like you in the lame stream, negative, fake media!

I'd like to wish you good luck, but have fun with Trump... I for one am delaying all my Seattle trips for 4 years I might build a boat to New zealand.

Unreal shot/vision and so agile. I think were picking higher than that. Maybe if another team really wants ours and we trade down for another nice pick or prospect.

Ya, this is a solid paraphrasing. The jist I got was "if we lose these next few games, I might be saying something different"
Hence me posting that officially cheering for opposing teams for five games before we played Pitt.

I can see him dropping to the 2nd round, these small guys always seem to do that. Maybe we get a top 5 pick, snag him at #35? I honestly don't us getting a top 5 pick, but the league is pretty tight right now so who knows.

so you're saying we should follow the nj devils model? we all know that's a mickey mouse organization.

Totally possible he drops, he's a big boom/bust pick and could be the best guy in the draft. All it takes is 2-3 losses in a row and other teams playing like they have been and we'll be in 5. were in 6(7th pick considering LV) today, pretty sure we can drop a couple spots when were only 1-2 pts ahead of the teams behind us. I'm not sure what all the talk of this team not getting a top-5 pick is about OUR BEST PLAYER IS INJURED

i just wanted an excuse to bring up the old gretzky quote. only time in his career he ever said something controversial and purposely offensive. but....

They'd be wise to sit Bo for a few games

he wasn't wrong, at the time.

- LeftCoaster

so lefty confirming that bo is playing tonight.

I'm actually okay with the team this season showing effort every night. They just don't have the horses to compete. Much as I appreciate what the Sedins have done for Vancouver and how much fun they have been to watch in their prime, the reality is nothing will change until they are retired or traded.

Can't have 20 million tied up in cap space on three done players (Ericksson in that group) and expect to succeed.

I would rather they not tank, but they will end up with a decent pick. Hopefully JB finally takes someone who can actually put a puck on net.

The longer they stick around the more fans will jump on board of the Enough Already train. Fans will be cheering to push them out the door.

Sounds a lot like Markstrom is penciled in as the Starter for next season
