They should take it out on their GM for overpaying Tavares and then Matthews, I feel so bad for Toronto.
- Reubenkincade

Really?

Rumours were that Philly wasn't the highest on his list of places to play. Boston and NYR topped the list. Clearly Philly had to overpay to keep him.

so it isn't just Vancouver then!

Wait, didn’t the Rangers just trade him away? Hey Edler, you paying attention?

I know this is a typo, but you should totally make up a definition for this and try to use it in Scrabble.

Traded him for Lemieux and wpg 1st which they turned that 1st and pionk into Trouba.

People say Benning makes bad deals. Basically they traded Trouba for PLONK

Rumor is Trouba pulled a Kesler and gave them 2 teams he would go to? I don't know how though if he didn't have a NTC?

Can’t have a NTC, too young. Maybe said he wouldn’t re-sign?

Edler’s refusal to waive at the deadline is likely why he isn’t getting another contract. What goes around comes around.

I hope that’s the reason. (frank) Edler. No ring of honour for that scum bag

Everything every other GM is so much better than what Benning does.

Ok... only a certain crowd sounds like that and i'll give you a hint it's the same crowd that complains about other people not being negative all the time towards everything involving the Canucks.

Chevy has been chasing for past couple of seasons now that he's not drafting in the top 10 anymore. They almost need to pull a Boston and sell a few players and try again.

You better not be talking smack about Mackey, or it’s on!

No Canucks news, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing; boy Fletcher seems to have been given a mandate by Comcast to make poop happen or else you get the Hextall treatment

That’s crazy. Glad so far JB hasn’t jumped in at those prices.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all, but that’s just me, to the best of my knowledge they really need a second line center and they’ve got 20+ million in cap space.

Second line centers who sign contracts in 2019 are going to make a lot more than second line centers who signed a few years ago, just like first line centers are making 9 to 11 million this summer.

Free agency hasn't even started yet.
Realistically, there are only 4 maybe 5 teams that could afford taking a cap dump and getting rewarded quite nicely for it, the Canucks being 1 of them.

They could have traded a 7th round pick for Sutter and saved $3million

They also have 3 pretty important RFA's to re-sign, Konecny, Sanheim and Provorov.
Goodbye 20 million in cap space.

I don’t know their business but I’m just saying I’m all for players making as much as they can with short careers. Good for Hayes, he cashed in and Philly needed a second line center I believe. They can move players to fit everyone in.

Lots of moving parts and I’ve read on The Athletic some stories about their owner wanting things to happen. They seem to have guys with value to move so I don’t foresee any issues there.

Tampa has way worse issues.

In three years Elias Pettersson is gonna make 13 million a year, I hope you guys don’t complain about it
