Word on the street (Renaud Lavoie, Kevin Kurz), is Montreal is looking for a top 4 defenseman and have been scouting the Sharks. Lavoie believes the Habs have interest in Vlasic.
Can’ see it happening if true. Vlasic has NMC and I doubt he’d waive it.

So I highly doubt they have interest in Benn

Why would Jim Nill spend the summer of 2019 making his club older and slower? Bad moves with Perry and Pavelski and If I'm smart enough to know this why Isn't the Stars GM?

Montreal should include Jordie Benn in any trade offer. The brothers agree to simply wear each other's old number and it is done. No need to make new jerseys....locker stalls are already set....away you go.

That would be a very Ottawa thing to do

The Leafs desperately need another 9 million dollar player on their roster

Pavelski at 7x3 isn't awful. Guy just came off a 38 goal season. Yeah he's older but he's also been the definition of consistency throughout his career. Since the UFA market wasn't exactly flooded with 1 or 2 Cs, I don't hate the signing.

Perry is almost league minimum for one year. Who cares? Play him or don't, no biggie.

@GoCanuck Market is there if cap is retained.
- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Dallas is right at the cap and they'd have to retain a big chunk ($3-$4mil) to make a Benn trade remotely palatable so they would have to make another trade to free up cap space. A lot of things would have to fall into place to make such a trade plausible:

1. a team steps up that wants a 30 year winger with 6 years left with a NMC coming off a 53 point season
2. the team has to have cap space ($5.5-$6.5mil)
3. the team has to be willing to protect Benn in the 2021 Expansion Draft
4. the team has to be willing to give up significant assets for Benn
5. Dallas has to dump $3-$4mil in a trade in order to take on the retained salary

I wouldn't bet on all of the above happening.

If Lou makes a trade for Benn, Ladd has to be involved in that deal!

Wonder how many people have yet to realize that Benn has lost a step. Still a good player for sure but no longer a true star player

Galchenyuk, Jack Johnson & a 2021 1st for Benn ($1.5m retained) and Honka.

I forgot to add:

...Benn is done being a star player, unless he gets reunited with his brother which will undoubtedly spark his youthful enthusiasm and give him more energy on a nightly basis.

To Dal: Galchenyuk, Gudbranson, 1st and their choice of Addison, Poulin or Hallander.

If there's one upside to the Canucks being at the cap, it's that Benning can't take on any more long term, high cap hit experiments, like the Jamie Benn deal. Jordie Benn will have to do.

It would work if Jordie Benn was playing for Montreal.
- Good On Paper



HAHA! I was thinking the same. Pretty sure I saw him in a Canucks jersey a few nights ago. Although at that point I had not realized he wasn't a Hab anymore.

Benn just needs to eat a meal at the "Y" occasionally to get his game going.
