Pronman ranked some of the eligible undrafted players, has about 20 or so, here are the top 8:
Seems like a lot of guys on his list just lack speed as one of the main issues. - NewYorkNuck
I posted a profile of Livingstone last week,. By all accounts he is worth a contract.
As everyone knows, this team desperately need talent in the system and this guy makes sense to sign. |

They should be signing a few of these guys if they can. I'm sure they'll have interest from everywhere, but would be nice to bring in some free players |

Here’s what Hamhuis had to say:
“I didn’t want to waive my no move clause and lose that possibility of staying [in Vancouver]. So my number one thing was a contract extension with the Canucks at that time. They kind of kept putting it off, putting it off, and then then we got to the trade deadline. And of course, they had my no move, and they asked me [to waive] and I said, ‘no, I want to I want to be here. I want to stay and even if it’s in a role of helping young guys develop right now until we can get things back in the win column, I’m in for that.’
“Then a little bit of time went by and then they approached me and said, ‘Chicago has specifically asked for you and Dallas has well’ — specifically asked to trade for me. They were number one and number two I think in the whole Western Conference that year and it seemed like such a great opportunity, good organizations, and so it made me really consider it for a few days. And I knew that if — I mean — if they’re asking for me, and I took my no move clause away, it’s like for sure gonna happen.
“After a lot of consideration, we had a hard time passing up on the chance to play for one of those teams and make a run for the Cup. Then there’s always the chance that in free agency I could come back to the Canucks. So that is what we ended up doing… I was shocked that a whole day went by and nothing happened and then another one and another one, and another one. I couldn’t believe that trade never went through.
“Of course, I don’t know what happened behind closed doors with Jim Benning and what was offered and what wasn’t, but it ended up that I got to stay with the Canucks for the rest of that season. Once again, I was very hopeful to get a contract extension and probably would have played at a significant hometown discount, but it was unfortunate an offer never came across the table. So off we went to free agency.” |

It really is beating a dead horse at this point, but didn't JB say Hamhuis refused to waive? |

Man, Benning just ran out of time again!
Honestly the more you hear about how he communicated (or, realistically, didn't communicate) it makes you wonder how some people think he was a good GM.

He did do some good. But man was he ever a terrible GM. How do you not trade a guy that waived for two teams asking for him?? |

Don't know if it was already discussed in here, but that's some sad news about Rodion Amirov. So unfair to get hit with something like that so young. - NorthNuck
I just found out after looking him up. That really sucks. Any age is too young, but that truly is too young. |

Ya, absolutely terrible news. Hopefully he has a full and speedy recovery. Also glad they caught it when they did while he was getting checked out for another injury. |
