So after finishing last in the division they are keeping everybody, except the guy everyone agreed should stay. Sounds about right.

At this stage, not surprising.

Detroit gets 5 picks in the top 56 this year, also have 49 million they can spend.

Remember when people in here said Yzerman was over-rated? Moritz Seider is also dominating at the world's and had an unreal regular season this year to boot.

“ When Erik Gudbranson was offered up by the Panthers, the Canucks overplayed their hand and in fact offered more than what the Panthers were after. Florida asked for Jared McCann. In response the Canucks actually added in their 2016 second-round pick.”

That would suck if we lost Clark. Cap issues? lol

"We ran out of time to try and sign him"

I know chumpster-dufus...Iwas waiting for the Greta comment...

WTF is this?

The probable result.

The probable excuse.

Canucks have 1 week to sign Ethan keppen before he goes UFA. I havent followed his year this year, but he seemed like a decent pick in the 4th round at the time.

No, the new quotes are from May 23. After being wrong once, he's taking another shot at being right.

Hmm, he tweets and re-tweets a lot. I can’t even find these in the timeline anymore. Feels like a week ago, could have been Monday...

question (half serious/half not): after 7 years, doesn't this sound like exactly the kind of thing you'd think they would do?

He works in sports media too I believe. He’s got a podcast, so you know he’s legit.

He seems to have a bizarre rationale for all the teams failure's.

I'm interested how his "aggressive" approach to trades and free agency plays out this summer.

So does this single pick put him into avg GM status?

So, a very unreliable source.

I'm pretty sure most of the quotes are from radio shows in BC.

unless bo comes out and reads a statement while hooked up to a lie detector denying this report, i'm gonna believe him.

what type of deal do you think benning can get for bo and schmidt? or is just getting rid of $11m cap enough of a positive move?

edit: oops meant to quote vintsy not you vhg.

The Province is an outdated rag full of yesterdays news. It was great back in the day. Now just hanging on to life by a thread.

Never heard about Bo? Schmidt, I can see going.

it's all over twitter and social media.

(i've heard HB can be included in social media.)



edit: if anyone wants a source on Bo wanting out, don't say i don't provide links:

Not at all. Did I say that?

What makes him a good GM is he's able to rebuild, properly, acquire picks, make good draft choices, make good trades, and make good cheap UFA signings. He's everything that Benning isn't.
