So you were only talking Canucks, not league? You're all over the map

I think league wide big trades will be hard to make.

I don't think many teams will give up their first round picks any more. ( I know Buf has three this year)

I am convinced Benning is going to make a trade with Buffalo. Not for a 1st but I do think Reinhart will be a Canuck.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to move them then.

I also don't have faith in JB's negotiating skills.

I don't think we will be in a hurry . I think Edler will get extended .

Tanev will be a free agent when he is 30 , I am not sure how many teams will be lining up to sign him to a 4 year contract

I don't see a big change from the current if the salary cap goes up further, but yeah, I don't see the Canucks getting another 1st any time soon.

IMO seconds and thirds are increasingly important in the building process.

For what? There are lots of centers in next years draft . Why bother?

If I have a young team I am not giving up Tanev or Edler for a mid to late round second round pick.

That would be silly at this point, for two reasons, they're right in the middle of a rebuild and Reinhart can't skate well enough to play center, he'd have to be a winger. Canucks have lots of wingers, too many.

Im not sure what for, he's not signed, Benning was a big fan of him his draft year, if rumors are correct owners want to be in playoffs next year.

Depends, if I have a kid ready to step in or not. If I do, buh bye

I don't see it at all. I think if Benning was looking at a trade ( I don't think he is) it would be for a scoring Dman

If the kid was ready to step in then why trade him?

Could very well happen, JB likes him.

Trade Edler or Tanev....keep kid

Could very well happen, JB likes him.
- VanHockeyGuy

I think JB liked him 4 years ago . I don't think he likes him as much right now.

Maybe if he dyed his hair and eyebrows jet black.

Are you drunk this morning? Why would a team trade a young guy ready to step in for the next 10 years for 2 years of Tanev?

That is why they drafted Jett Woo

Got me on that one

Holy (frank) you're a Benning clone, we were talking about mid to late 2nd round picks and I said if I had a kid ready to step into the Canucks lineup I'd trade Edler or Tanev for a mid to late 2nd

I love that pick

Potential great pick

Okay . I thought you meant the other team trading a ready prospect.

We don't have any RHD prospects that are ready for at least 2 years .

Edler has a NTC so let's wait and see.

One thing you can take to the bank is JB will do something fecking stupid this season. Book it.

Got me on that one

I think Benning was looking at Krug before he drafted Hughes. I doubt he is still pursuing him

Depth at center is also a huge weakness in the organization, Benning needs to pick a center with his top three pick next year
