Official Trade Deadline Thread | Part VI - The Final Countdown

[VanillaCoke]

Well this is ****ing garbage

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

What reporter said that there was an offer of a second and another one of a third and a fourth? Way off on that one

Samsonite.

 

[opendoor]

****ing mediocre players with NTC's...what a joke.

Yep, guys like Sutter and Miller have no business having NTCs.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I want to field goal kick all three of Benning, Linden and Weisbro in the balls.

"Well, ya know Moj, we tried hard to get a deal done but the market just wasn't there. We're comfortable keeping Dan for a playoff push."

 

[Agent007]

If Hudler is worth a 2nd and a 4th you would think they could get 1 2nd or a 3rd for Vrbata.

I'd take a 2nd for Vrbata let alone 2nd and a 3rd. I don't even think they'd get a 3rd.

 

[TheWolf*]

Just re-sign him.

No one left to trade with. Pathetic really if we make zero moves today.

Tell him if he does not go to Boston or PItt, he is not getting another contract here. **** him.

 

[MikeK]

All these excuses for Benning are ridiculous. It's Benning job to know exactly who the player will waive to and you go out and make the deal. There should be no going to the player at the last minute asking about teams. Benning ius an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing.

Stars front office thinking now about perhaps taking another run at Hamhuis... tick tock

[canucksfan]

If these morons make no moves except letting Cracknell go for nothing it will be a bad day.

 

[Pip]

They ****ed up. Started ntc talks way too late

Agreed. Seems like they negotiate deals and then are shocked when a player uses his NTC. You have to work with the player.

no more NTCs after this

Good UFAs and top tier players are going to get NTCs. If you don't give one you're not going to get them.

 

[looseneditforyou]

I knew it all along he wouldnt go any where

Two things folks: benning is the wose GM in the history of hockey and dan hamhuis is a selfish jerk like kesler

Do you literally believe Hamhuis is a selfish jerk for exercising a clause he negotiated in an otherwise far below market value contract? And do you actually think his character is in any way comparable to Kesler's?

 

[Jay Cee]

Let's go Jonestown style if the Canucks don't make a deal guys. You go first.

Sekeres doesnt know much...

 

[GPNuck]

Benning has gotta be the worst negotiator... There was minimal D available and he cant' even trade the best one on the market

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmao sekeres

 

[TheWolf*]

"Well, ya know Moj, we tried hard to get a deal done but the market just wasn't there. We're comfortable keeping Dan for a playoff push."

Word for word from Linden.

 

[Flik]

Have the best D chip available to turn into assets... potentially get nothing for it. NTC or not, that's just ridiculous if it happens...

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

... this can't be that complicated...

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Stop blaming Gillis ffs. nobody cares about Gillis he is not to blame for every Benning screwup.

********. This whole damn board basically believes Benning is damn ****** because of a deluded belief he could have gotten a ridiculous one-sided return for a player who demanded a trade, cited two teams he'd only go, both of whom hated us. And I am damn fed up of Benning essentially be labeled the Anti-Christ when a good chunk of our problems are because of Mike Gillis.

I'm not blaming everything on Gillis nor am I ignoring Benning's screw ups. (They both have plenty) I'm just not pinning everything and the apocalypse on him because of a goddamn narrative.

 

[rune74]

Brian Burke > Jim Benning

hat did burke do?

 

[Love]

It truly is depressing being a Canucks fan.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Playing with our emotions heh?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I'll take Oleksiak. Just ****ing get SOMETHING
