all are UFA's at the end of the year and have next to zero NHL impact. It was essentially swapping trash for trash and Benning getting a 6th. What makes it terrible?

I think we have 3 6th rounders now haha. Hey, the way jb has drafted having three shots 1/3 will probably be a roster player

Van's trash was much more worthy then the trash they got in return
- manvanfan


i don't know about that. Nilsson has been awful, Archibald could never stay on the Canucks roster, even when they were absolutely trash. Pyatt replaces Archibald. McKenna hopefully plays in Utica with Bachman this year, not re-signed, and we see Bachman/DiPietro in Utica next year, and Benning gets another 6th. Ridding ourselves Nilsson and bringing up Demko is what most in here wanted anyway.

as long as Benning is obtaining picks and not dishing them out like candy, I am happy.

I'm assuming Pyatt was acquired for Utica, a guy that couldn't stay on Ottawa's roster is not someone we should want to see up with the Canucks. I'd rather call up Mac or Gaunce lol.
- Nucker101


You and I both

Pyatt already cleared so he's Utica bound.
Still need to move a Russian winger.

I agree codes, this looks like a solid move where were replacing Demko with a vet back up and gaining a pick without losing anything. A sixth isnt crazy but Its a start!

Ah Okay, I refused to backread more than like 6 posts.

Anytime Jimbo manages to not send away the extra draft pick in a trade its a good thing. Also the door is so wide open for Demko. Kid will probably go .880 for the first month but he needs to get up to NHL speed if he's going to play 30 games next year and even give a whiff of being a #1 after that.

Difference of opinion isn't really trolling.

Mrazek a 3rd and a 4th last year at the TDL. He's not better then Nilsson.

Benning to Joey Kenward and Jeff Patterson:

"Mike McKenna will backup Markstrom tonight, but Demko will be called up shortly. We want to see where he is at, at the NHL level."

Benning also confirmed that Bachman's season is done with a torn Achilles muscle. He will be in the market to acquire an AHL goalie.

Also in regards to freeing up a spot and doing so via a trade when Sutter gets back "we are going to explore all options"

WRONG!

Not sure what your point is actually. Vancouver decided that Demko was ready, opening the spot was a necessity so they moved Nilsson. A much different scenario than TDL desparation. That and Mrazek is better, younger and likely felt to have a higher ceiling.

Regardless, JB did what he needed to do to get Demko on the roster without losing Nilsson for nothing.....
