[The Drop]

I'd take Seth Jones over Johansen personally

This is from Benning yesterday. Lol



Clearly a GM in the loop

I seriously don't get it. How can there be nothing goin on and then all of the sudden one decent trade and one massive trade happen.

No one wants to play with our GM

Well, maybe that means he's actually asking for a fair return for our spare parts, instead of his usual Sutter-Sbisa-Prust-Dorsett specials.

 

[Canucks LB]

#Canucks GM Jim Benning on @TSN1040 yesterday "Not a lot going on in the whole league right now. I’ve never really seen a year like this."

Good call jim, awful

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Good call jim, awful

How anybody can support this goof is beyond me.

 

[Nuckles]

One good thing about the RyJo/Jones trade, it gives us another potential trade option since Nashville might be looking to acquire a top 4 d-man now. There was no way Hamhuis would waive for Columbus, but Nashville seems much more realistic.

 

[Huggy]

Because johansen has friends who live in port moody hes signing for free

How did we get hamhuis

Thank uncle jim nuckles.

 

[McHortton]

Is it just me or did LA get completely bent-over in that trade... basically 2 cap dumps for Weal and a 3rd absolute steal for Holmgren and Philly.

Nope.

 

[Canucks LB]

They got two big players for a non nhler and a 3rd.

They won, Lecav is gonna retire after this year

smh johansen doesn't even like the canucks, i know him personally.

You mean two bad players for a non nhler and a 3rd.

 

[McHortton]

So 1 big , bad player (at half price) for a good prospect and a 3rd... bad trade still but I'm sure LA will be fine anyways.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

smh johansen doesn't even like the canucks, i know him personally.

Shhhh,don't you dare say that! I'm still waiting for RNH, Paul Kariya, Sakic, Seabrook, Weber and Ladd to sign here.

 

[Intoewsables]

Well, they had to find a replacement for Matt Greene and I guess Schenn at 50% is okay. Lecavalier's retiring at the end of the year, and I'm pretty sure Philly's still on the hook for the full recapture penalty (or at least most of it), so that doesn't really change much for them. Still don't really see the point for LA, but it's not as bad as it looks.

 

[Knight53]

Is Hamhuis even going to healthy by the deadline? Could easily get a first for him, but the Benning factor plays in.

Also Vrbata needs to go on a hot streak, can't imagine getting more than a 2nd for him at this point.

I imagine the conversation went like this

"hi, it's Jim B. I'm looking around for some top young talent. Mmmm Mmmm Yeah, you want some prospects or 1sts? Hell no those are all off limits. Veterans, oh you like XXXXX and YYYYYY for ohh I like that prosect you are offering. You don't want them though they are washed negative value cap bums, you don't want them. Nothing going? Talk later."

 

[Bleach Clean]

Really? That's interesting. So per your very non-insider vetted opinion, little chance he sees this as a long-term destination?

Just so you guys know,

Iam right about more than just the Jones trade, he's coming home

GO CANUCKS GO GO CANUCKS GO

I asked Bryan Allen where he'd most like to play and he looked at me like I had two heads....."Toronto of course".

Pretty sure he never played there.

If I was an Vancouver born NHL player I am pretty sure I'd not want play here. Hard on you. Hard on people that care about you.

 

[DadBod]

The chances of RyJo signing in Van over 29 other teams are slim. I'm not holding my breath, not even for a second.

But it would be AWESOME!

So you have insider info and can break trades/signings etc simply because you proposed a rational trade?

If that's the criteria maybe you could work for Eklund breaking e5 trades.
