Benning no.

 

[jd22]

I can hardly wait for a few seasons of first and second round exits to be followed by another rebuild in 2026.

 

[Grub]

Well we’re already deep in ****. So why not go in just a little deeper.

 

[thrillhous]

Ooooh this gonna be good

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

They were probably going to pick the wrong player anyway.

 

[Canucks LB]

Which players worth 9th other than Reinhart?

Uhhh, Our drafting is ridiculous, baring a few mistakes early on

 

[JoemAvs]

I'll believe it when I see it.

We are now at the stage of "atleast 3 picks in the top10 are firmly in play". From those 3 picks usually 1 gets traded every 5-7 years. Rest of the time its just media people trying to hype up the draft event.

 

[SEALBound]

I just have a feeling it's OEL.

That said, Reinhart would be a nice addition for you guys. I think he'd fit well.

 

[Combat Koala]

Benning, the gift that keeps on giving... except for Canucks fans. Quite odd in my opinion since their draft record is pretty good. Does he still have the depth chart wall?

Which players worth 9th other than Reinhart?

Hurts to say it, but maybe Fiala.

Fiala, who Russo's been insisting is 50/50 to be moved for some dumb reason. I'm not sure if it's Guerin's dumb reason or Russo's. It'd be weird to trade him for a pick unless they were planning to include it in a package for Eichel, since it sounds like Adams wants another in the top-10.

Exactly. Every year I hear how teams are willing to move their 1sts and then when it comes down to it they don’t. I don’t expect to see moves.

I just have this gut feeling, not based on much, that Benning wants Seth Jones

 

[Bazeek]

I don't remember inviting you into my brain, but grab a beer I guess.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Ryan Strome is your man

 

[Boondock]

Zero interest if he is after a huge pay day which was rumored earlier in the off season. The Canucks can not commit huge cap to a second line winger (assuming the lotto line stays in tact #6/#40/#9).

 

[IranCondraAffair]

A defenseman, maybe..?

IDK. If Schmidt is likely gone, and Hamonic hasn't signed yet, they probably need a veteran RD. They can't really get one in FA, the options aren't good and no one can count on Hamilton to sign with them.

Information on the dollars side of things seems a bit iffy. The only real stuff seems to be a holdup on the term from Guerin's side.

I don't know what you'd consider "huge cap" and "huge pay day" though.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!

 

[deca guard]

vrana

 

[Nucker42]

I’m done if he trades this pick

He might but I don't see a world where Seth Jones is willing to sign an extension with the Canucks as part of a deal and I doubt even Benning is dumb enough to give up #9++ for 1 year of Jones.

If he’s feeling the pressure and needs to save his job he might do it and worry about it after.

This line of thinking applies to any GM feeling pressure.
