The Canucks, I'm told this morning, are hanging in there on the OEL trade front. But still not clear if it will lead to the finish line. No question I think the Coyotes would prefer OEL expand his list of teams instead.

Let's not gut the team.
Absolutely no 20/21 Ist round pick.
It only means Jimmy has Billy Armstrong by the hips and hes not liking it at all. Obviously we've tabled our final offer and its up to OEL how deep he lets Jimmy dig around in Billys dumpster
If that’s the case, I hope he put a time limit on that final offer, like in the next hour. We need some “we couldn’t reach an agreement” news to relax. I would also like a Canuck friendly Toffoli signing to feel good, and a very short term Tanev signing to feel great. Then Benning can kick back until FA Frenzy and sign that old NY goalie. Maybe move Stecher out for a pick, but keep Jake around for shit and giggles. Can we start a save Shotgun Jake club?

Probably a shitty time to become a UFA these next few years with Covid-19 and a flat cap.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Getting twitchy now, just want some trades/signings so we can discuss them. Come on Benning, make a move!

Haha well that really goes without saying.

Whatever happens this offseason, the team will have a new look on defense. Be it OEL, Barrie or some other change up....they wont be trotting out the same flawed group. This makes brownie happy

Best part of Benning’s presser was his commitment to Demko. The way I heard it, they don’t have a plan to sign Marky and flip Demko. Either Marky signs to share the net without expansion draft protection, or he doesn’t. But either way they seem committed to Demko playing here (at least for next season).

A Stetcher re-signing would be like Delissio... an OEL trade is at least a Dr. Oetker!

I see stretcher being qualified and, if the OEL trade happens, traded to AZ.

Ya, think that's pretty accurate. Not moving Demko. There's a rumor in here that Demko is something Arizona wanted in a OEL trade.

Also saw something elsewhere the Canucks are buggeting 3 to 4 million for a goalie if nothing is worked out to keep Markstrom.

Yeah, I would be very hesitant to put Demko into that trade, almost can't envision a scenario where I would do that.

Stetcher is at best a mini pizza/pizza pop to be traded for a granola bar or a juice box with or without a straw

If he is qualified, I expect him to be moving to AZ immediately after.

Stecher is one of those frozen, cauliflower crust abominations. It looks like a pizza, but it really isn't.
