Not sure...Demers has two years left at $4.5MM so it makes sense for both sides

Still don't know what we have there.

I can't stand Jeff O'Neil. The guy is a tool.

anyone who is questioning the Canucks rebuild with the acquisition of 27 year old "veteran" players.

The addition of these players not only provides time for the "kids" to develop in Utica, but also provide a good veteran presence when the kids do get the call up (injuries do happen). Jim Benning signing these players to low cap hits (3 mill for Del Zotto and Ganger) is extremely appealing to cup contending teams in the upcoming years. Essentially, when you sign decent players to cap friendly contracts as a rebuilding time, your hope is that they can provide a stop-gap, while hopefully bringing you assets in their final year of their contracts. The Gagner and Del Zotto trades are extremely good trades. If Burmistrov can get 10 goals but next years trade deadline, he could be a nice rental option for playoff teams.

he is a EDM/TOR homer. Grain of salt

Perhaps he scores 25-30 this year and has trade value. He had the worst luck I've ever seen last year.

Utica is going to be good....(frank)ing awesome

I wish Utica was in Abby. Be worth going to some games in the coming years.

Not bad

I love that we had to bring in another Russian for Goldobin. Always seems you need two Russians on a team if you have one.

I like it. Gaunce, Chaput, Dorsett or Megna is not included.

From now on, everyone who posts potential line combos that includes Gaunce, is getting flagged and anthrax sent in the mail to them. Fair warning.
