Good gawd Benning WTF someone fire this idiot if he thinks he can save us with another top 9 player.

 

[Grub]

You know... could have just resigned Toffoli instead of paying Loui Eriksson, Brandon Sutter and Jay Beagle a combined 13 Million dollars per year.

 

[AKL]

Greenway is who you want

 

[MMC]

Any interest from the Canucks in Heinen?

 

[Bellzy]

Nylander and liljegren for Hughes.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Logan Brown.

 

[Mal Reynolds]

I mean, most teams wouldn't say "No" to a U25 top 9 forward....

 

[kanucks25]

Probably a 3rd line winger.

We don't really have anything to trade for something of more value, and I'm not so sure Benning has the green light from ownership to make a major move right now anyway.

To offer, we have one slighty-used Virtanen, one even less-used Gaudette, and a bunch of middling prospects that every other franchise is full of. Take your pick

 

[belair]

Isn't that what Virtanen was before they f***ed with his confidence? The guy looks cooked.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

3rd line centre please.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Nylander and liljegren for Hughes.

 

[evolutionbaby]

Mantha for Virtanen, Louii and a couple firsts

 

[Bures Elbow]

So instead of making use of Virtanens higher value last off-season to trade him with Sutter or someone like Beagle to free up capspace for Toffoli, thereby freeing up Hoglander for the third line, he's going to make another dumb move now?

 

[Wall of Wonder]

Hopefully Benning does not give up any draft picks.
Canucks will not be making the playoffs this year.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Brett Howden and Tony DeAngelo to Canucks for Brandon Sutter Virtanen Gaudette and 2ed in 2022.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Isn't that what Virtanen was before they f***ed with his confidence? The guy looks cooked.

Weird take. . Virtanen is the author of his own demise

 

[NuxFan09]

Why are we buying?

f***s sake.

Benning: Trades draft pick they desperately need for the rebuild, while adding a useful, but not overly-impactful player

Canucks fans:

 

[HockeyVirus]

Nylander for Demko + 1st (top 5 protected this year, slides if top 5 to next year unprotected).

Vancouver gets a damn good player on a great contract with most of it already paid. That means that they won't have to sell as many blueberries.

The Leafs don't face Nylander 6 times a year after the season so they don't mind moving him. The cap savings help them a bit and they replace Andersen going forward. 1st is likely 10-15 and helps the Leafs replenish their prospect pool.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Yeah, just stop on by the to-9 forward store.

A top-9 forward, under25, what exactly are you offering that a trade makes sense? Your lottery pick? Just give it a rest, it isn't going to happen.

 

[canwincup]

Benning should not be allowed to make another move as GM of the Canucks

 

[belair]

Weird take. . Virtanen is the author of his own demise

It's the take of someone who doesn't take in every Canucks game. It's just kind of odd to limit the opportunity of a young player whose seen his offensive production consistently grow from year to year. It's unlikely you'll see anyone pop in 18 from the fourth line.

Seems like they're making the same choices with Gaudette, who they had pretty high hopes about a short time ago. Is it really necessary to lean on Sutter so heavily?

 

[CpatainCanuck]

At this point Benning is the crazy guy in the movie who should be in a straitjacket but for the sake of the movie's plot is in charge of the government or a corporation.

 

[Perratrooper]

Greenway is who you want

Is he available?
