Benning is instructing the wrong team to tank.

By not acquiring enough picks. Utica will most likely always suck. With picks coming from college and europe, not enough pass thru Utica.

but u and everybody else knows this. Jimbo don't care.

If Colorado wins the lottery via Ottawa we should trade them Horvat for the 1st overall AND their first round pick

sure and maybe they’ll throw in MacKinnon for Gaudette too

Utica seems to be a pretty decent team, not so sure of the accuracy of this one

In all seriousness, Colorado needs d and one of their picks i would think coupd be had in a tanev deal perhaps. Trading Bo is just a non-starter imo though, the kid has done everything right thus far

They wouldn't trade the 1st overall for Bo alone, asking price would be Horvat + more, the asking price for 1st overall is always ridiculous, even in weaker drafts.

I'm convinced that Blake hired him purely as a tank commander.

Sucks when you are good at drafting and players surprass Utica quickly.

Free agent goalie. Don't need to have another goalie situation like they did this season. Pretty good numbers, has good size and is only 22.

Any chance Hughes plays tonight?

No — from what I read on the province, his CT scan was negative, just a deep bone bruise. TG said he’d need a couple days on his skates and to get in some practices, and then he’d be good to go.

Baer is possible/probable to go tonight though.

As the wise one said part of being a good prospect is staying healthy, so Hughes is a bust. Already hurt.

Baertschi said he has had 5 concussions in his career. wtf

Is that to make sure he doesn’t hurt his back too?

Jim’s not a pick acquisition guy, he believes in other teams garbage not the draft, outside of the first round that is. Ron Hextall, now there’s a pick acquisition guy

- manvanfan

That’s (frank)ing scary. Especially with this last one having the post-concussion symptoms that lasted so long. If he gets another one in the next year, that could be terrible for his long-term health, if it’s not already
