Good Job Allvin. Garland next over paid average players need to leave

I hear Garland is fantastic at 5v5.

One GM was trying to acquire talent, the new GM gets to decide what to do with the talent he acquired.

Crazy stat, the Canucks haven't picked twice in the same round since acquiring a 3rd round pick in the Tortorella trade lol.

Trying to acquire talent and acquiring talent are two different things. Benning did get a lot of gold stars for effort, though Wonder if Allvin can trade some of those..

Wasn’t coming out west a huge deal for hamonic? Not even to a playoff team … wonder if he reports. He would hardly report to Canucks this year.

As an aside, he’s been one of the few that played surprisingly consistent to me … guess that’s why someone wanted him. First sign of tank mode in full effect. Haha agree with the sad sentiment that we get excited over a 3rd round pick, our old one at that … the bar is below low!

Yeah, he's been a consistent pain in the ass for the organization.

Was that even a trade? lol. The NHL basically handed Benning an extra 2nd

They changed that rule shortly afterwards. Surprised they didn't just take the 2nd back.

You have to admit, it’s a good selling point to a nerd influenced GM

Yeah, Jim's strategy lacked holes. He tried and was just unsuccessful.

Do you think it was such a steal for Hamonic to be acquired with Van's own 3rd which Is currently 83rd btw

It was spent on Richardson. Hamonic an everyday defensemen is worth at least Richardson.

I doubt the nhl teams use the stats that fans get sucked into, but I am wrong on occasion.

I will say it's a massive first home run for Rutherford and his new boy Allvin...

We got our 3rd back and cleared 3 mil off the books next year for a guy that lost his spot to Schenn.

Buffalo right now would be a good place for Poolman.

I had a feeling that Ottawa would seek an older RHD with Sanderson, Kleven coming and quite a few of their younger RHD not playing well this season.

100% true

I’ve heard it first hand and even GM’s have commented on it. The public data is always a few years behind the league. And even then, every team still uses the eye test.

I like it, it was part of my TDL wish list

Return is pretty much what I would have expected for Hamonic.

Well done Carol.

Gotta go 14-5 to get to 95 points.

Can it be done?


- LordHumungous

Yes but very slim chance. Next 5 game road trip is too late to risk it so the TDL is the 1st time for us to start the changes needed.

Benning would have had his second deal done by now.

A solid Pancake man!
