Benning doesn't know what a buyers or sellers market is so it's irrelevant?

sounds about right for HB.

Only the Canucks could get 5 days off where there is no contact between players and 5 come down with the mumps.

Rangers were running out of gas and we were younger, they had an extra day off between games for some reason, keenan was whining about the refs and the league wanted the rangers to win for American exposure, habs won in 93 and that's the last time a Canadian team has won a cup with bettman in charge go figure, the canucks have been his biggest threat over the years, lets see what happens with some Canadian teams on the rise.

You are really starting to lose the plot Don, it's pretty simple.

Many teams still think they have a shot, many teams will be considering buying but because there is few teams selling, there will only be a few teams who end up buying.

And this is why we have seen a 3rd for Jurco and a 2nd for Hainsey so far.

still a chance for value for Nucks trade. JB won't deal if value isn't offered.

They played on a Saturday, then a Tuesday. Same as they did earlier in the series.

Benning can wait on the market and potentially increase his return as teams get desperate..or it can backfire and blow up in his face.
- CanuckDon

Or stick to his guns & not be weak & give in to any trade.
I don't want a GM who trades just to shut up the fans & then get roasted no matter what by ppl educated by the media. Most Canuck fans r not reasonable & too often look for the negative whether it is there or not. Eg Granlund

No, Kyle Wellwood and Phil Kessel always just looked like that.

Hilarious that Team 1040 is making so much out of not bringing up Subban and choosing McEneny.

We finally have some choice where both choices are good and people are losing their minds!

Look past the last name folks.

The hysteria that will follow the TDL will come from those who see it as a huge opportunity missed. Falsely at that. The TDL is only to extract more from cup contenders if they pull the trigger. If no bites nothing is lost & on to the post TDL phase of asset management. Its only a deadline date for the PO's & many rosters will be juggled this offseason leading up to the e-draft. I predict Sbisa will be picked if no D is traded. Hansen is unprotected but only a 1yr rental IMO. He could be trade bait but his 8 team list would be prolly be the same as this year. So idk how he is traded any easier next year than this year other than he becomes a UFA. His contract makes him a valuable addition this year or next without much change in the market if any.

McEneny seems to have earned it & more all around.
The Subban lovers make an irrational case to play him.

Any "Leakage" on those 8 teams? I never realized that players could screw the system by choosing teams that have no cap room or no desire to win.

I think they are both great. But look at this.... we are playing San Jose, the closest thing so actually playing against a pack of Sasquatches.... I would rather not throw him in that pool for his first game.

But I think he will be up before the end of the season.

Please, there's like 5 sellers and 25 buyers.
If Benning allows something as temporary and marginal as this to effect his overall game plan then he sir, is a (frank)ing moron.
- Whiskey-Tango

You have been going on about no market and our vets like Burrows, Miller, and Hansen having no value. As soon as you hear that the Mumps might affect the TDL for us, Benning is in this incredible position of strength and only a moron couldn't make it happen.

pretty sure the leafs had something to do with this.
- RealityChecker

Don't flatter yourself

Because the vast majority of those teams are within a few (frank)ing points of the playoffs. They might not be buying, but they very likely will not be selling.

How many bubble teams are on Burrows, Hansens and Miller's list?

How come you no longer use your alternative account?

that's not nice of you to say.... sure Mumps can cause some deformities, but to call the Canucks Trolls is a bit too much.

- Beatle_john

You gave it the mumps

People with more than one account are a very special breed. I just do not understand the level of emotional need to do this.

And the way you got outed was hilarious.

My take is an NMC or NTC is either earned or to get players at a cheaper price.
Them having families etc it comes down to more than only where they play.

Imagine if Benning added vets through trades and FA only to miss the playoffs....

- belcherbd

So far only you and Bloated suggested we were buyers this TDL. I didn't think you'd bring it up again a week or so later with reports of three vets giving their lists and us never buying at TDL the previous two TDL's but...


Whiskey laughed and disagreed when I said there would be a couple of people still talking about playoffs being the priority on TDL. I knew Bloated would... he's money.
