So last year everyone wanted the Sedins extended so we would have a second line center. What has changed since they retired that we no longer need a 2C? I must have missed who we got?

They killed it at the world championship a couple of years before. It was probably the last time the Sedins were vintage Sedins.

But Ericsson has been so bad here that all you can do is laugh and shake your head. At least Edmonton got one good season out of Lucic. We haven’t gotten one good week out of Ericsson.

Top three worst contract in the NHL.

Yup. He’s destined for the Ring of Honour.

You think any offer the Canucks make is a terrible offer

I am just happily reminding you what actual horrible trades do look like.

No there are good ones out there ...but swapping first rounders for a 65 point D man isn’t ....adding Sven or granlund or guddy isn’t a sweetener lol

It’s not like I think you should have to give up the 7th, Demko and Gaudette for Hanifan ....but just one of those probably wouldn’t get it done

There's the whole off-season to address that. Just get a stop-gap this summer. There's still so many holes in the team it's not even funny.

They either have to trade from a position of weakness, over pay for free agents or let the young guys sink or swim. I think management genuinely thought the Sedins would be back, and they don’t have a contingency plan.

I’m not going to lie, I try to give management the benifit of the doubt, but Benning with a crap load of cap space kind of terrifies me.

Usually teams will move down two spots and get a 2nd round pick for their trouble. Anything else is just nonsense.

Hey bud I am fine keeping things as is , just remember that when Sutter is centering Pettersson and Dahlen don't come back crying about Sutter AGAIN

No matter what Benning does he will be roasted . It is the whole upper management that is to blame. Benning can not make a trade without Trevor and FA okie dokie . Trevor said so himself.

If they went from 7 to 19 I could see it being like a 2nd and a 3rd maybe

They all get the blame; they’ll all get the glory (or fired).

I can't recall a team "trading down" twelve spots.

You are Sutters biggest critic on here so remember that when he is your second best center on the team for the next three years.

I am one of his biggest supporters and I am telling you he is not a second line center.

He won't be, they'll get someone for a couple years to allow Pettersson to develop, I'm not worried. We need a couple more years of drafting near the top anyways.

The team is not ready to compete!

Who is offering up second line centers for dirt cheap

I forgot we are getting Tavares

He's an hugely overpaid 4th line center on this team, I am making the prediction now that by the end of the year Pettersson is at LEAST our 2nd line center and maybe even our 1C with Dahlen/Boeser on his wings and Sutter will be gone at TDL.

Apparently yes. I have heard it more than once today. Sekeres confirmed that it is more than noise.
- VANTEL

I cant imagine he's thinking of ANYTHING other than trying everything he can to win the cup

he can think of everything else in a weeks time

Hopefully they can get someone in free agency, but again, he only has to be slightly better than Sutter, where offence goes to die.

So I don't see it as being a big issue honestly. At least not in the first week of June.

Again who is Pettersson playing with Gagne Sutter Eriksson Granlund or Sven?
