Yes. This guy gets it
- CanuckDon


I prefer McTavish, but Beniers is a pretty fine player as well.
Anyone of Powers,Edvinsson, Clarke, McTavish and Beniers, would be fantastic.
The most skilled player though, is Kent Johnston, who I also like, but he is kinda soft.
3 players this team needs to stay away from, Lysell, Eklund and Hughes.

An orgy of 3LCs.

Agreed but don’t like Johnston. Glad Powers is playing for Canada. If they didn’t select him he would likely be playing for the USA

I don't think the Canucks will get to draft that high.

I know you are high on McTavish. From the highlights I've seen and the 3 games I got to see him at u18s. It reminds me of watching Scott Laughton when he was a junior. With maybe a slight bit more upside.

- manvanfan


That's funny you used Scott Laughton as a comparison of McTavish, because I thought Beniers game looked like a young Scott Laughton type.

I see Sean Monahan as a really good comparable for Beniers.

Back in the day, i thought Laughton was going to be a solid 2nd line centre, like Monahan is now.

How about a cheap 1 year deal for Nick Bonino as 3LC? 25 points in 53 games.

Good on face offs 677fo 357w 320l 52.7%

Penalty Kill 4.17PP/GA/60 100:37SH/TOI 1:54 SH TOI/GP

Pretty much Sutter without being an offensive black hole.

He is too slow. A lack of team speed is one of the biggest concerns w this team
- CanuckDon


Still an upgrade on Sutter.

Of course. But he isn’t free and the cost won’t be worth it. At this stage Magma may be an upgrade on Sutter

Buddy was super high on him, he wanted him so badly. I just wanted him more than Gaunce.

I was absolutely dreaming of Tomas Hertl falling.

What if we traded Sutter and a third for Bonino?

If he comes at 1/4 of the price of Sutter too. Could possibly be an acceptable player to use until someone else is found that is younger, faster, better.

I don't care if anyone cares.

I updated my rankings, sorry didn't show what I updated but I also included 10 more players and put Bob's rankings beside to compare what scouts think.

Don’t we have the slowest forwards in the league? Bonino is a slug

50 more years of ineptitude, these sheep will line up for this poopty product. If you don't know how to build a team that will challenge just spend to the cap so people think you're trying. Keep up the good work Francesco.

They probably look slower than they are because they are always going in different directions than the play and each other.

The biggest factor in knowing that TG shouldn't be the coach of this team anymore is that Van media thinks he should be and Benning also.
