Benning may improve marginally from a #6/7 to a #5 Dman but his pay will increase significantly. We already can't justify paying him 1.9M. I can't imagine how much he will ask in 2 yearsDrake is the reason im ok with continuing to develop benning. the guys who come out of NCAA take a year or 2 to adjust to the heavy game schedule that the CHL guys are already used to. Petry was the same way. maybe he is or isnt a player but im not ready to give him away for free yet.
He was already playing in America for the hurricanes. This delay was a working in Canada papersI might be reading too much into this but the interesting line in the article is "Zykov has been cleared to play in Canada". Odd it didn't include the USA or say "North America". US Immigration being a bag of dicks?
They play in Denver next week so hopefully he has full clearance by then.

By that time you hope one of the guys from the AHL makes him expendable.
Benning can be made expendable by basically any #6 you could sign in free agency or acquire in a trade. We don't even need an AHL guy to replace him - just sign another Gravel or trade for another Wideman.
lol, ok bud.
Benning is a legit #3 at WORST.
gtfo out of here with that junk.
dude is gonna carry us to the promised land.
Just need some confidence and he's a perennial 30 G scorer.
Benning is a #3? Like, #3 being when you do a #1 and #2 at the same time on the can?
first of all:
LMFAO
second of all:
#3 as in 1...2....3rd best defender on the team.
third of all:
Norris trophies are in his sight
Except in his handCaggiula can't catch a break.
Not directed at you Showcor3 but to continue this discussion. As a Canadian who has worked in the US since 2000, I've had years of VISA experiences/issues. Things are not as easy as "he played in the US so all he needs is a Canadian VISA".He was already playing in America for the hurricanes. This delay was a working in Canada papers
He was already playing in Carolina so I think he already had his US Visa?

at some point in time he will need him play--20 pages on hypothetical play
Umm ... anyone able to translate?
yeah
my foot your ass and to the moon alice

We can't afford to move him. We should be hoping that he gets better and rounds out into a solid bottom 6 defender that doesn't hurt. Someone that can play 15 minutes a game and lower the top end guys from playing so muchBenning has played better since his return to the line up. If he can make himself tradeable then great.
So, Zykov seems to be good to go
Doesn't really matter. The Visa was set for working out of the US with travel to Canada. Now he needs a visa for working out of Canada and travel to the USHere's what I don't get...surely Zykov 'worked' in Canada before. After all, the Hurricanes would have visited Canadian cities, so what's the holdup now?
