You can't judge a moronic move by the Sharks in comparison.

That's massive overpayment for a 25 year old tender with 34 NHL games to his name.

Lets see if he can maintain anything close to his career stats playing behind the Swiss Sharks defense.
Yes, it is a massive overpayment, to be sure, makes you wonder why GMJB could not have found some sucker to at lest cough up a 2nd for Lack...

It's probably a passive aggressive slap to the face of Benning, due to the Bieksa trade not going through.
(semi kidding)

Jones is an RFA though, compared to Lack being an UFA next season which hurt he and Talbot's value.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Having a RFA only means that you are not going to lose him as long as you want him. If Lack is indeed a good starter, Wilson should not mind paying big bucks to keep him. A RFA could still demand top dollars, is it not? Am I biased to think that Lack is better than Jones, at least for now?

He could ask for top dollar. If I understand RFA's properly, Jones has 2 seasons left until he's eligible for UFA. So the Sharks own him until the end of the 16-17 season, unless they sign him to a longer deal. So the Sharks get Jones for (at least) two years, Carolina gets Lack for one. The one positive for the Sharks is they can sign him to a one -year deal, try him out as a starter, and still have him as an RFA next summer if they want to sign him long-term. Carolina needs to make their decision on Lack real quick, or risk letting him walk or having his demands increase if he has a good start to the season.

Is that one extra season worth a 1st round pick? I'm not so sure.

I guess Wilson thinks so.

Lehner was a similar situation.

Same logic as the Sbisa deal. I'm glad you are understanding these things now.

Why should we be worried about buying up Sbisa's UFA years?

Canucks trade Bieksa to Anaheim for a 2016 2nd Round pick.

If the rumours of Yzerman considering J. Drouin are true, I wonder what it would take for Benning to get him? He's in the right age range and if Benning is serious about eventually replacing the Sedins as 1st-liners this would be a reasonable move to make.

What would it take? Vrbata and McCann? Tampa is still a relatively young line-up who could use some offensive depth. Baertschi and a 2nd rounder from 2016?

Thoughts?

Drouin would be an interesting option. Though he may be better suited for the wing, as his size and strength would prohibit him from becoming a big minute centre in the West. If it doesn't cost the future, I'd say make a pitch.

I think a more pressing need is a young D-man who could develop into a 1-2 down the road. Easier said than done of course, but there very well could be a few guys out there in need of a change of scenery.

Dangerous move. Drouin is a gamble as he is struggling to make an impact in the NHL. A potential bust who may cost you a lot to acquire plus we have zero that would attract Stevie Y as they want to win NOW. Would have to be a good young player early to mid 20's. If wouldnt be a D-man like Tanev or Edler as we all know how thin we are there. You would have to bring up names like Bonino, Kassian and disposable prospect not part of the protected list like Shinkaruk.

From what I understand Horvat, Virtanen, McCann and Cassels are Benning untouchables, not to mention that he has no interest in trading proslects but I understand Shinkaruk can be had. With the playoffs Gaunce had Im assuming he is near untouchable as well. I would consider Boeser an untouchable as well.'Do not see us offering up a young D man as we are way too thin in that department

Bonino and Shinkaruk? I'm sure Y would laugh at that one and probably 95% of the other teams in the league could drum up a better package than that one

What are you a sea captain? "Aye"? Come on Squamish Nation Gangsta kicked off the reserve and living in the ghettos of East Van

The proper Ebonic spelling is "aight"
