Benning said he will join the team Wednesday, he is ready for the NHL

Granlund will break 20g if healthy I'm sure. He's been improving the entire time we traded for him. I'm not dismissing it as not a good trade. Keep us updated on Shink if you can.

who?

I am pleased with the 2 deals so far.
I thought Hansen and Burr would net a 2nd and 3rd by the TDL and we ended up with a former 1st/2nd round prospect (plus conditional 4th).
I think that's excellent value.

Plus we protected ourselves for the e-draft.

i also think having prospects is better than picks in that they are that much more scouted and that much more likely to make it to the bigs.

JB got to pick the guys he wanted it sounds like. At least in the case of Dahlen

nice. something to look forward to and watch for the rest of the season.

Sheesh now you are limiting the kids ..... well Goldoblin will be playing next game for Nucks. So there you go.
- Nuck4U

Source? If so, lets go Goblin/Goldy! He will come out flying against his former team!

There's that good old Canuck negativity.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Agree. He wants a rebuild then tempers it with negativity.
Its never enough is it? 😂😂

Benning certainly seems to know what he's doing with mid round picks. He did that way back when in Buffalo as head scout .
- LeftCoaster

Kind of a bummer part of why he traded so many the last few years, but if he can start recouping them now its better late than never.

Just hope that they take a Leafs/Bolts/Canes-ish approach to mid rounders and swing for the fences versus going for future depth players.

Post game....Benning admitted publicly that we are moving on from the old guard ( country club ) and getting our new group up and running ......free at last free at last free at last

Selling off the old, still giving the fans a reason to come watch games

He'll be a star in the Swiss league in 4 years.

Could you imagine fishing with a guy this negative and impatient?

i didn't catch the postgame comments.
Any word on if JB is done, or has more irons in the fire?

We have no one left to trade.
Still didn't get the picks I hoped for, but I guess players are further along in development.

Sbisa. Why lose him in the expansion draft? Biega can take his as a mandatory.

You're only free at last when Edler has been driven to the airport.

Sharks fans are not happy on Twitter to lose Goldobin for a depth winger. Obviously the top 6 potential scouting is the general consensus.

you'd be handing me the net all day!

I'd love to see a bunch of vets on one year deals next year to fill out some depth and then move them for an ass load for mid rounders.
- Lindenis#1

Entirely a possibility once JB decides who needs grooming in the A

Is the Hansen draft story I've seen retweeted a few times true?

The Canucks picked him in the 9th round because they felt bad he showed up to the draft and no one called his name yet?

Because I kinda want it to be true, or at least believe in the folk lore.

Here in Vancouver we dont do irons . We do Swords

Hey i saw a guy using a Shanahan model rod, it's the only sure fire way to catch fish.

Starts catching fish with the JB rod...

I don't even like fish.
