Weircoch had less of a chance of making the same than Biega last year lol.


Burmistrov left the team.

We;re not talking about doing it this week, Donny.


Roussel hasn't skated in weeks, the guy isn't anywhere close to a return and likely hasn't done much physical activity either.


We're talking about a scenario where Schaller actually plays 10-15 games and doesn't look good by the time Roussel is back off of IR.


Not sure how waiving him at that point would make Benning an idiot.

Sure, I’m just saying signing a guy for two years and then waiving after preseason is certainly grounds for dismissal. Dude scored 12 goals last years for a good team and the local media and fans love the kid. Let’s check in on Schaller at Xmas. If he still sucks then send him down

That's exactly what we were saying


No one here suggested waiving him right now, this ain't HF lol

What do you mean? We are still paying his salary I believe. I think we get $1.25MM in cap relief

longterm. say we don't move him or buy him out. does he get to go through waivers again next season?

or is a buyout at the end of this season the most likely scenario?


vantel, thoughts?

There's some good posters there, but it's a hive mentality. I feel like the opinions here are more diverse.

People there are too extreme, you have too many posters who think Benning can do nothing good and then there's a small group that gets annoyed by that and counter by defending his every move.


I like following the Utica thread and the HF prospects section.

We would buy him out next season for sure if he is still around

You got to give the guy time. Very few players looked good in preseason.

Benning said Roussel should be skating with the team by the weekend.

I have the same opinion. The pro Benning and anti Benning crowds both equally suck. Way more variety on carols blog. This is a great place to talk hockey even if we are forced to deal with reubys boy like behaviour

The Utica fanbase is hilarious. I like hearing their game reports but Jesus they are a whiny bunch. All they do is female dog about not having enough veterans stars on the team. News flash utica, the Canucks goal isn’t to win an AHL trophy

yep

there's a couple of posters who may or may not be actual scouts too. they have great breakdowns of what they see, but their talent assessment seems way off to me but gets treated as gospel.

oh well. it's all just more information to take into account which is the what it's all about i guess.

I agree with giving him time, don’t think I’ve ever once suggested waiving him this early.

Roussel might be skating soon but I doubt he’s near NHL game shape. It’s difficult to workout after a severe concussion.

I meant the overall HF prospect section, not the Canucks one. It’s a great way to follow draft prospects.

I don’t mind bad goalie, he’s played hockey at a higher level than most people and watches every Utica game so he brings a good perspective. He does tend to get dramatic sometimes.

haven't spent much time there. usually get enough info filtered down via this place anyway

i feel bad female doging about it, because we're all just fans in the end, but my goodness i get angry every time i have a browse.

So many little b!tchrs over there. It’s outrageous! You would laugh if you saw this PM battle I had against some dippoop. He started off by threatening me and 35 messages later I’m certain he was crying but you are right, there is some excellent prospect content on the main boards
