I have to disagree on everything. Time to move on . Replace Hank in free agency and have Gagne Sutter . Daniel can easily be replaced.

Our game should be all about speed not memories of old combatants.

I have said it a few times .This team would look good with Turris Bo and Petterssen in 2019

- VANTEL

I agree it's time to move on…I'm just saying we need to expect it.

You could see the balance of the team shifting last season and Bo's leadership qualities emerging. I doubt we're going to get a Turris but one never knows.

Lots of options after Sedins/Edler are gone that frees up a lot of cash.

He's a local boy who's a UFA after next season. He'll command way more than his 4M salary. It's possible.

A lot depends on this year. They were pretty slow last year and unproductive

Possible but unlikely. I'm not sure this club will be showing the upside needed to attract Turris here…but you never know.

I know this is gonna sound nuts but what if we offer3d radulov 5 years at 6?

Rad Bo Brock
Twins Granny
Sven Sutter Gagner
Dorsett Burm LE

Kids get another year in thw minors Brock probably emds up there
Twins up next year but you have an ok top 6? I onow its crazy but how crazy

- Jkuzzi


Granlund scored more goals than this guy..... Boggles my mind that he's asking so much. Montreal can overpay him, I'll pass.... 5 years term for a guy that has never scored 20 goals is ridiculous.

Take a look at Columbus how quick they turned things around. Montreal 2 years ago were battling us for bottom 3 at one point .Same with Columbus .

A few good years of drafting. Saying goodbye to old players and smart trades will turn a team in a hurry

Especially since they will still be paying Neon Dion, Ottawa really dropped the ball and I doubt we see them make it that far I the playoffs with this group again (they already let Methot go for nothing).

I can see Turris bailing in his FA years, but he won't be coming here.

The TSN panel is a joke calling the Canuck's losers in free agency, saying these signings were to support the Sedins.

~Needed a goalie

~Lost a D to vegas, signed two reasonable replacements

~Upgraded a weak C position, again with reasonable contracts

Aside from Ray Ferraro, the disconnect and ignorance from that station is mind boggling.

Top of the morning from the Montreal train station, I can see the Sedins back for one year after this, and I can't see Turris signing here regardless of the fact he's from BC.

Cant remember the last time I watched TSN, they are decent for draft stuff, nothing else. Their analysts are such a joke! I would give a lot of money to knock out Duthie.

I don't like this, oh, and good morning. Montreal must be a beautiful city this time of year. Weather is warm and sunny at home.

If turris somehow hits free agency hes the guy. I agree about the twins. I love them and they were awesome and hall of famers. They are still good second or third liners but we cant move on with them still here. Cut the cord its time after this season.

Sadly with what is going on in San Jose I can see them coming back 1 year at a time

Pierre McGuire said the 2020 draft is going to be the best ever. These kids are 15, how the (frank) would he know that?

Everyone and their dog on Twitter is saying the same thing. They're all of the opinion Benning is trying to win for the Sedins. Totally false. He's trying to give themselves some time and create competition.

The hate is still strong

Toronto media is butt hurt towards Vancouver . The hate began when they sucked for a decade and we were riding high.

Pure jealousy . Nicer city better weather. Olympics .

They make the playoffs for the srcond time in about twelve years and now they are smug asshats

It is a very beautiful city, one of my favourites, I think people should travel Canada 🇨🇦 it is so beautiful from coast to coast.

And I agree I, but I was just giving my crystal ball prediction. Plus what would Carols blog be without the daily dose of Sedin topics

He had 55 points last year, he's not worth 7.5 million....at all. Henrik had 50 points and made 7 million, that's like saying he's totally worth it

At the end of the day I don't GAF what the east thinks. We're not a playoff team, the result will be the same next year. We just have more competition.

Benning, and more importantly Aquilini, need to have patience and build towards the future.

Ask them to have a race. I bet by the time Hank gets to the finish line Turris has showered and left the building
