Vatanen/Gustafson/Hamonic should be plan F after Benning messes up Plan E, trading for a top 4 dman such as Cernak.
Only knock is that he’s very very injury prone. If we’re talking FAs with no trades I take Vatanen and Gustafsson. He’s only a few years removed from scoring nearly 60 points...Vatanen is by far the best of the three without a doubt.
Ask any Devils or Ducks fan about him .
Not the biggest guy but he is good offensively and better defensively than what people say .

Justin Schultz got 4mil from Washington and I don’t believe he’s better then Vatanen or Hamonic.
Isn't he kinda doing the opposite this season? Letting older guys leave on long term deals was the right call with Tanev and Markstrom. If he get's Vatanen on a good deal to replace Stecher, how can anyone complain about that?Wow, does benning never learn, his FA-signings is ruining is ability to make the right signings (I do think Holtby was the correct move)
They are compared to most places, they just don’t have cap to sign anyoneVery weird. One of your Canucks buddies on here was trashing edmonton while flexing that vancouver is a top FA destination. Hilarious how this all goes.
Well, Canucks wanted to Keep Tofoli, but Rousell, Ferland, Beagle, Myers, Eriksson etc keeps adding up.Isn't he kinda doing the opposite this season?

They still might keep Toffoli. If not, I am certain they will get a suitable replacement. It’s a long off season.Well, Canucks wanted to Keep Tofoli, but Rousell, Ferland, Beagle, Myers, Eriksson etc keeps adding up.

You guys struck out on everyone and signed a Schneider light in Holtby. Good jab.They are compared to most places, they just don’t have cap to sign anyone

Well if VGK was any indication, why wouldn’t the Kraken take a Shane Wright 1st round pick from you guys to take that contract off your hands? You guys are clearly headed in that direction now and benning clearly doesn’t know wtf he’s doing.Good back up who will be exposed to Seattle.
You sound like it’s a 6x6 contract, it’s 2 years and he gets to work with one of the leagues best goalie coaches.Well if VGK was any indication, why wouldn’t the Kraken take a Shane Wright 1st round pick from you guys to take that contract off your hands?

Ok but it is still an albatross of a contract especially when compared to Holtby’s performance art on the ice since his cup. He’s not good and theres a hood tax for taking a horrible contract like that.You sound like it’s a 6x6 contract, it’s 2 years and he gets to work with one of the leagues best goalie coaches.
