[Throwback]

The Score is reporting it's to announce hosting the draft.

This whole Benning thing has just been a social experiment and Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out and kick us in the balls?

 

[Jyrki21]

Hopefully Eriksson has been extended. Gotta look ahead.

Hopefully Eriksson has been extended. Gotta look ahead.

He hasn't shown his full potential yet. Maybe if he shaves he can appear younger and then soak in some of the vets knowledge (like a sponge) and continue to improve.

Canucks relocated to Seattle and Vancouver gets a new expansion team?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Benning to wear a helmet full-time when working as it reminds him of his playing days.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Think I'll get tickets to this. Hopefully not absurdly priced

Thatd be awesome

Maybe it's stockholm syndrome, but somehow I'd be kinda sad.

2019-2020, 50 years in the NHL.

Damn, I remember the 40 year patch

I suspect Benning will announce a 3 year Jussi Jokkinen extension.

We will get the draft and promptly trade away our 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks in said draft for some 4th line muckers. #Rebuild

....Benning's plan will be to recover the draft picks the night before the draft. Same as every year. Trade your picks all year long and then go and try to buy them back when their prices are at their peak.

Buy high, sell low. #OwnTheMarket

Curious as to how much of the revenue of ticket sales goes to the Canucks, and what goes to the league and other teams. Its probably the first event in many years that I would pay to go see.

And the fans should heckle Jim continuously if he trades away one draft pick .....
