Hughes Tanev
Edler Myers
Benn Stecher
Biega

It's definitely a lot better than last year

Relative to other Benning signings, this one is like...fine.

Agree that Schenn would have accomplished similar results, and usually this kind of move happens when you have a good Top 4 already and just need depth guys to make a run, but whatever cram more old mediocre bottom end players to this roster of exclusively old mediocre players.


God the bar is ****ing low.

This team is a joke.

Bar? What bar? There's no bar!

Decent deal. Decent AAV, term and all that. Basically revamped the defence at UFA day for about $10 million or so with the Graovac and Fantanberg signings too

 

[Fraser28]

Is it, though?

Absolutely yes. It's still bottom 10 in the league, but easily an improvement over last year.

 

[DonnyNucker]

Is it, though?

You miss Pouliot Hutton and Gudbranson?

 

[Yultron]

Great job Benning !!!

 

[Oleksiak]

Very nice pickup.

Why is Myers ahead of Stetcher..?

I'm one who is still not satisfied with our defense. Where is the offense to this?Tanev and Edler injury prone.Just to many question marks still.

Need Juolevi and Woo to push for spots.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Need Juolevi and Woo to push for spots.

And Tryamkin coming back too. We’re really thin on defense prospects.

 

[m9]

Would have preferred a one year deal for more money, but whatever.

 

[Blue and Green]

My preferred pairings:

Edler-Stecher
Hughes-Tanev
Benn-Myers

PP1 Hughes, PP2 Myers, save Edler for heavy ES and PK duty.

I like the Benn signing; fits needs and budget. Do not agree at all with a lot of what's written about Luke Schenn; he is strictly a 7/8/9 and I much prefer Biega as the fourth option at RD.

 

[Bankerguy]

a full season of an improved hughes /stecher, and addition of a top4 D and really solid bottom pairing guy will help us. our top6 is better with miller and improved Bo petey and boeser... we make the playoffs and lose rnd 1 is my guess

Cool beans, dawg.

Woof woof woof woof

Decent signing. Now we await to see what happens with Hutton. If he gets anything in the 3m~ range then this signing was unnecessary.

Also, it seems like Benning is starting to leverage hometown connections. Myers’ wife and now this. Stecher already in the fold. Next year Barrie? (As Sting101 mentions).

 

[Russian_fanatic]

I’m actually not even mad we let Hutton go tbh... this is a good contract...

Between Meyers and Benn... we didn’t do THAT bad.

Roster is looking solid and we should fight for a playoff spot IMO.

 

[Bankerguy]

D looks different today.

Add Tryamkin in March..

Why March? is his contract in the KHL over in March?

 

[orcatown]

Had, as stated by some, a solid year in Montreal last year and he seems good value. Player that needs to keep it simple. Hard nose player that is very responsible defensively

Would love this to be a precursor to getting his brother but that's likely wishful thinking. But Jamie has talked about the desire to play with the Canucks and his brother. I just can't conceive of a deal we could make to achieve this.

It depends upon what they let Hutton go for. If he gets in the 3m range on the open market, then I would be surprised they chose the route they did.

There are more bars in Utah.

I like it.
