Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks overhaul blue line, signing FAs Tyler Myers & Jordie Benn As expected, the Vancouver Canucks made some upgrades to their blue line on the first day of free agency. In addition to inking UFAs Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn, the Canucks also added depth defenseman Oscar Fantenberg and minor-league center Tyler Graovac.

Benning has learned

Yea that’ll move the needle

Thanks Carol, quick note: I believe Fantenberg is a lefty

I think Jordie Benn signed here so he could be close to his biggest fan.

Stecher finally gets a full time competent partner in Benn too.

Green must be thrilled to finally have 3 reliable pairings that he can trust.

Yeah it must be a huge relief to have 6 guys that are all competant and actually allow chemistry to form.

Pace yourself old timer. A younger Nighthawk would have posted each pairing one at a time ever 7 minutes and 23 seconds apart.

Glad it finally happened

Blurt mode was on...my bad

I hope some GM does us a solid & signs Petey to a cheapass offersheet when he’s an eligible RFA (unfortunately Petey would be too smart to sign it). That Aho OS is such a joke it almost seems like collusion to lower elite RFA market values.

Bergevin is great such attitude when asked if he thought anyone would be upset about his OS

Time to make some deals, get er done JB.

Wow, Benning did well so far.

Are TO going all in to get Lafreniere this year?

Trying to move Kadri , not signing Marner signing Ceci.

Thanks - I think you're right. I'll fix that!
- Carol Schram

He’s a lefty who plays the right side.

Can you blame the Leafs? They clearly need a rebuild

I don't even care about the Myers signing. I'm just kind of numb about it because the original reports were so bad in comparison it seems like a great deal.

I don't love the clauses, although at least he's eligible for the expansion draft. I'd feel much better if he had a limited NTC year 3 and none year 5.

Also, with the signings of Myers and Benn why would anyone think there's room on the roster for Schenn?

He’s paid to win not have cocktails at the GM’s club for cronies.

I think he's going to offer sheet Marner as soon as Aho signs with Carolina.
