Panarin, in one fell swoop, changes plenty. TWO, very dangerous lines. Easy to cover one, most teams can but two probably gets you
into the after season games; what are they called? Don't remember. Oh well.
That also lightens the load on defense a bit too. Best defense is a good offense!!!!!
We got a ton of our wins in extra time last year.
Actually. we'd need one more top six wouldn't we
Maybe Kapanen if TO needs to cut costs. Someone like that for Bo and Pearson.
Forward lines wouldn't be bad. Our blueline would still be absolute shit though, and without other moves we'd be screwed for upgrading the blueline.
Panarin $9.5Mx7.
Brock $8Mx6.
Looch in Loui out we get a 3rd.

If we swap Loui and Looch, Benning still has to clear out two of Sutter, Spooner, and Baertschi, just to sign one dman to play top-4 minutes.
I honestly think Looch could have a resurgence here playing with bo and Pearson or brock and petey. Bo and Pearson play a heavy board game. I’d also be interested in him with petey and brock, brock and petey don’t play particularly fast but so he should be able to keep up, and petey is a possession machine that can play off the boards as well which Lucic could help with.

Good thoughts.
I think regardless of where he fit in on our even strength line up we would see him be rather effective on the PP.

I watched Lucic quite closely in a few games this year and sorry but he’s just way too slow and prodding. It’s quite painful to watch his shifts. Want nothing to do with him in vancouver.

That torn Achilles is likely going to drop Krebs down a little bit one would think.
Hey PAC B are you and your posse going to the draft this year?

Not a complete sever, Blob, a cut. Hes projected to be back early in the season. I would have no problem drafting him at 10. I like the kid. I likevhis motor/compete level and is always impressive internationally, seems to rise to the occasion, pushing the play, leaving it all on the ice. I want this kid for playoff hockey. I loved how pissed off he was after Team Canada lost in the semis. The kid has fire. Draft him if he falls, Jim!

I can easily see this happening as well and i can see him being another feather in bennings draft-day cap.
The kid has top end talent and wheels. Oh sacred one Cthulu...let the shittier gms fall for it....please Cthulu...wave your tentacle and endow us with this bounty

I'd put Panarin - Petey together with Virtanen to do the dirty work on RW.
spread the scoring & put BB on the 2nd.
Pearson - Horvat - Boeser
That should help Boeser not take a beating so much for the oft injured winger in only 2 yrs.
11/27/2018 Missed 11 games (groin).
10/27/2018 Missed 2 games (groin).
4/07/2018 Missed the last 16 regular season games (back injury).
2/11/2018 Missed 1 game (hand injury).
11/01/2017 Missed 1 game (foot injury).
Kinda get the creepy Tanev vibes for BB, might think of selling high big time on him, just like what I said for Tanev years ago sell high!.
Know how many teams are searching for a top scoring RW? we'd roll in hella assets, think Dobson+ OR Pulock+ for BB + ?
Brock Boeser + Olli Juolevi for Oliver Wahlstrom + Noah Dobson?

Mëds, that is BRILLIANT!!! We can be yet another team, right up against the cap, missing a top defenceman, just outside the playoffs because our defence sucks, PRAYING that some team helps us during the expansion draft by taking Whomever Benning couldn't get rid of so we only lose one of Hughes or Peterson when their contracts come up!!!! When your spending a paltry 17 million on your bottom 4 players, what can possibly go wrong?!?!

Yeah that was kinda my point.
That our bottom 4 forwards are sucking up WAY too much cap for their value (Beagle excepted) and we can't actually address legit roster needs without moving them out.

It's okay, cap space doesn't matter during a rebuild

I know, I have always loved that argument. Some people just don’t get it.
