I think this is going to be canceled because a group of team players are going to test positive and it’s going to run through the room like wild fire.

I’m hopeful a vaccine is developed by early next year. Which will make it much safer, obviously.

Still a good signing IMO. Looks like he is healthy (fingers crossed) and has shown he's got good skill to complement his abrasiveness. The Ferland contract isnt a problem, either he's on IR or he is a great middle six player.

Benning has signed a bunch of bad contracts, but Beagle and Sutter are the only ones we are currently carrying IMO.

I agree. So what, he got a concussion and it was predictable. Worth the risk for what he brings and only aqualini really suffers for the injury so who cares

We will need to carry the 1.7 over to next season. That and Loungo recapture is essentially a top 4 dman we can't sign.

Development , testing and approval in 5 months?

It’s just my opinion, best guess, they may very well play games in early August...who knows.

I just think a sport with guys in such close quarters you’re going to suffer a setback eventually.

In modern times, ie: a global pandemic, you’ll see something pushed through much quicker than what’s normal.

You rival Mr. Potatohead, although I think he’s actually smarter

Friedman on Tim & Sid talking about which teams are going to be tight with the cap staying frozen at $81.5M: "I think Toronto, Vancouver and the Rangers are going to be among the teams that are going to have some really tough decisions to make."

Tor 4.5 mil space
Van 17 mil in space

They are exactly alike

Friedman also left out Arizona TB ST L

Friendman never misses a chance to take a shot at Vancouver

Pearson being moved may also pose a problem signing TT.

TBT if we have rookies every year exceeding what is expected and it costs us a bonus payment then hallelujah . That is something that happens to the top of the rookie list.

Fuken Benning on that recapture

- VANTEL


Benning got a raw deal with the recapture, doesn't mean he isn't responsible for handing out bad contracts as well....can't believe I forgot about Eriksson with my earlier post.

Loui Sven

I don't have a problem with Sutter Beagle or Roussel


The team has improved every year in the last three years and will be better next year.

Benning's only fault with the recapture was thinking they weren't going to get hit with it and not being prepared for it when it happened. I believe he admitted, at one point, that he didn't think they were going to get hit with it.
It's a moot point because they still got Ferland.

Last count I heard was 17 teams are in a pinch. The minions will surely blame JB.

I think it is Benning's fault for picking up rookies that get bonus money. The good old days guys like Gaunce and Shinkuruk never cost us a god damn penny.

I guess I don’t really understand the logic behind moving a 21 goal scorer for a 24 goal scorer which will cost 2 million more dollars a year? Toffoli’s a better goal scorer than Pearson but he’s not 2+ million dollars a year better imo. He’s five years removed from his one and only 30 goal season, he had 13 goals last year. Most of the moves suggested are zero-sum moves, there’s actually very little benefit to them.

Boeser is a much better player than Toffoli but he did have a bad (for him) goal scoring year last year, Pearson and Toffoli are interchangeable but TT will cost you a lot more.

What Benning needs to be able to do is add without taking away unless his goal is to just ice the same type of mediocre team with different players?
