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
- SMBDragon

I know better than to get into a debate about coaches

Go check the UFA list you will be shocked and sad. I can't wait to overpay for Bozak
- VANTEL

I'd be fine with him for two years, they're not in a position to compete so what does it matter if our second line center sucks? Hank had three goals this year

There's lots of guys out there who are better than Sutter is offensively, they're not coming here to win a Cup.

There's also no guarantee Pettersson plays top six minutes, PP sure, but he could easily play sheltered third line minutes to start the year until he forces his way into the top six. Let it play out.

Yeah Tyler Bozak for his last big contract is going to play for a team with no hope and sign for 2 years just to be a nice guy


Obviously Canucks are exploring other avenues otherwise there would be no Hanifin or ROR talks

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

12 is a bit much

2012 cgy traded from 14-21 for a 2nd

2014 SJ went from 20-27 for a 3rd

2017 jets went 13-24 for a 3rd

So not as likely in the top 10 picks

I don't think Tyler Bozak has much leverage, his big contract days are over! Two years at 4 million per is reasonable imo. Trade is another option, but not many bullets for that game. Although you could send some middle six wingers for a middle six center?

Pitts needs a third line center who do you think Bozak will take ?

Bozak will sign 3-4 years

I am telling you , do nothing and enjoy Sutter as your second best center.

I would too if I were him but I don't think he's the type of third line center they're looking for. He's not good enough defensively to fill that role, he's not a shutdown guy.

Benning won't "do nothing". Even if he does, Gaudette is probably already better than Sutter

Lol... you're drunk my friend
- Pres.cup

I thought Benning was this drafting genius ...give him two extra picks and draft around the same spot where you got Boeser ....highly unlikely but still never know

That was luck, not pure genius! If he did it every year it'd be skill.

Not exactly the Golden Knights.

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

Taveras until the trade deadline, we then sell his 14m x 2year contact , with 50 percent retained, for hanifin.

I'm back on the Taveras bandwagon, drinks on me.

Round of water?
Sounds good, round of water, on me, at the picnic.

Top 10pick though?

We're not Edmonton level bad at at management, close to Calgary, but give us some credit.

I pick your avatar until game one and vis versa
If Dobson goes before boqvist you win, boqvist goes before Dobson I win.
Deal
- Pres.cup

Deal

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?
- VANTEL

we're missing a whole 2nd line

Not exactly the Golden Knights.
- CubanBuffet

Could you imagine if we made a line up with the current players

I'm stirring the pot but honestly I don't think Benning with the current list of players

we're missing a whole 2nd line
- BobBot

Eriksson Sutter Granlund

I forgot

I think I'll be having a lot of naps next year.

poor sam gagner - the forgotten center

Eriksson Sutter Granlund

I forgot
- VANTEL

realistically though, they're going to have similar ice time as bo's line given they'll be out against the other teams top line every night

Like I said I don't know what Benning is doing . Wait and see.
