Green believes that most of these players are better than alternative options. A few of them get loads of minutes

At the end of the day I never thought Jim Benning was the guy to take this team to the next level, however, there’s some really nice young pieces to this hockey team.

I don’t see them making a change in the current environment, but if this continues I don’t see Benning lasting. I hope they find someone who’s a better builder and some of Benning’s drafting wizardry has rubbed off on the amateur scouting department he put together.

That's only one mistake per year. Can't exactly put Holtby on there yet. Sutter got his first ever hat trick. Baertschi is on Green. Green should have been on that list.

It's not one mistake per year when all the players have 4-6 year contracts.

Can't blame him, he hasn't played yet, this season.

Point for Petey

Petey-->Hughes-->Miller

WOW

About time

Wowza, I was about to scream SHOOOOTTTT haha

Maybe Van should trade for someone who will stand in front of the net and get some second chance opportunities.

If anyone has ever wondered why JB has always talked about people that can score in this league because you can take 25 shots and not score once or you can take shot 9 times and score twice.

I laughed pretty hard at bieksa calling demko ' bubble demko' - good stuff. The rest of the panel must hate him / can't chirp him haha

Sadly, he will try to add another defensemen oh wait... nevermind no cap space.

I added them because they are recent, and that money could have been spent on players that made an impact on the team.

Also, there is no reason to give Holtby that money on his numbers from last year.

They needed a 1B goalie. Who else were they gonna get? They payed him a bit more so they could give him less term and expose him to Seattle. Think it was a perfect signing.

Burke said it's hard to get players to come to CDN teams. Just got to makes some trades for players that other teams signed.

Canucks top defencemen 11:39 so far. Tyler Myers.

Benn having another solid game

Millers finding his game
