“The highest percentage I have for all these guys — Soderstrom, Seider and Broberg — is at No. 3. People will look at that and say: ‘Big deal, a No. 3 D-man’. But look at the construction of NHL teams. You don’t win — and you don’t even get into the playoffs — without a good goalie and good D-men, especially in your top five.

“I can justify taking Broberg at 10 or Seider at 10 or Soderstrom at 10. And if you really like Cam York, and you think he’s going to be a Torey Krug, then you could take him at 10.”

So, if BPA targets up front are off the board, what should Benning do?

“If you’re sitting at 10 and a D-man is there, take him,” summed up Malloy

Fantastic little piece that will give a lot of people a different look at Friday's draft and the Canucks needs.

Probably where WPG gets there's from.

Why am I feeling JB's about to do something stupid?

Do you listen to TSN regularly?

Benning is making a play with the 10th + for Subban.

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

Because he has every year, so far.

Or read any Ed Willes article written since Benning took over.

Craig Custance: San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson on the trade market: “There’s been more conversation and communication between GMs in the last month than maybe ever since I’ve been a GM.”

The salaries are changing the landscape.

Ghost for OJ/JV/Schaller

Callahan/Miller/1st for Tanev/Lockwood/2-6ths

It feels as if a lot of teams are wanting to go in a different direction with their rosters for next season. Add in bad contracts and new contracts. A draft that is all over the place after pick 2.

Makes for a busy and hopefully exciting draft.

Mark Stowe (Edlers agent) said there is still time to get something done.

First flinch.

I stick to my prediction from a few months back JV OJ for Ristolainen.

Edler: I want a NMC because I don’t want to leave Vancouver

Benning: we are not giving out anymore NMC’s

Edler: fine, I’m leaving Vancouver

Personally I see Edler re-signing. 2 years at 5-7 mil NMC. After that he can do 1 year deals like Thorton if he wants to stay here and we have a roster spot for him.

Which do you want Ghost or Risto?

Tarasenko probably skates worse than Boeser
- Shuswap Wap

But he’s paid appropriately...
