At last I can stop waiting in suspense.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I dont quite get it cause they have many players of his type who are better. But maybe this means Virtanen is getting moved?

It's a two-way deal so likely gets called up from Utica unless he outplays a guy in training camp.

 

[BWJM]

Maybe just maybe... Benning is transitioning into a properly paid bottom 6?

Great signing.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

You'll love his hustle and compete level but he has trouble staying healthy, pretty decent speed as well.
Zadorov nearly killed him.

Had decent hopes for him to be a 3rd line PK guy, capable of 10-12 goals and 30ish points.
He will need to continue to work on things to ever chase down that expectation.

Needs to be disciplined and work to his strengths of being a good forechecker and just general pest to play against.
Still young enough to turn it around.

Jim has learned a little bit over the last few years, better late than never

Jim has learned a little bit over the last few years, but late than never

I don't think its about learning, its more likely the team is in a different position than it was 3 years ago.

A bit of both

Yep: although his death by Zadorov inspired Huberdeau to eviscerate the Avs in compensation

If we have a season, it is going to be compacted and shortened. You need guys like him that can fill a hole and not miss a stride.

 

[DS7]

We're actually paying our fourth liners their appropriate cap hit? Yay

 

[Boud]

In Ottawa he was pretty damn good for the role that he had and was always involved in the play. He works hard and has some decent vision to be honest, he can make a pass and can put a puck in the net. He goes to the dirty areas and will battle for pucks. I know a lot of us wished we had kept him especially on that type of contract but we also have a bunch of younger guys pushing for spots so that's probably why they didn't keep him since he did look good in his limited time here.

If he keeps at it I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up a good 3rd liner.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Jayce, we hardly knew ye.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Hawryluk is an AHL lifer.

Signing for Utica.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I don't think its about learning, its more likely the team is in a different position than it was 3 years ago.

We were never a team that should be spending as much as we did on the likes of Rousell, Beagle and Sutter. Veteran leadership doesn't up their value by an extra million or two. At this point, Benning has been forced to learn from his incompetency because the flat cap nearly screwed him over. He basically lucked into Schmidt.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Good little player. If he was a bit bigger, a bit stronger, a bit faster, or a bit more skilled, he would almost certainly be an everyday NHLer, and maybe even an above-average one. As it stands, he will need to bring more if he wants to be a regular on a good team but he can definitely fill in with some degree of versatility.

 

[Dread Clawz]

I've always been a big Jayce fan. Hopefully he sticks with the Nucks.

 

[Nucker101]

Decent signing, but premature to say that Benning has learned his lesson, the UFA market is deflated and has has no cap room so even if he wanted to hand out more Beagle contracts, he couldn’t.

 

[Stuzchuk]

this kids will give everything he has every game... very good bottom sixer

 

[al secord]

He reminds me of a young Joey Anderson.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Benning now just needs some Vapoorize to get rid of the shit in the bottom 6.

 

[Siludin]

I was hoping the Canucks would have gotten his guy in one of the many variations of the Eriksson->Ottawa deal.

 

[Wildcarder]

So much better than paying Tim Schaller 1.9m for 2 years on a one-way contract to be a healthy scratch.

 

[InfinityIggy]

If he can stay healthy this could end up looking like a really nice diamond-in-the-rough signing for the Canucks. Wish we'd signed him honestly.
