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?The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:13 amIt 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 dumpsterMicky wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:39 amLet's not gut the team.Pierre LeBrun@PierreVLeBrun
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.

Absolutely no 20/21 Ist round pick.

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!

Re: Pre-draft & pre-free-agent day speculation
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

Re: Pre-draft & pre-free-agent day speculation
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!The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:54 amIts like watching the delisio through the oven door
Re: Pre-draft & pre-free-agent day speculation
I see stretcher being qualified and, if the OEL trade happens, traded to AZ.JelloPuddingPop wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 12:29 pmA Stetcher re-signing would be like Delissio... an OEL trade is at least a Dr. Oetker!The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 11:54 amIts like watching the delisio through the oven door
Re: Pre-draft & pre-free-agent day speculation
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.Cherry Picker wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 12:21 pm Best part of Benning’s presser was his commitment to Demko.

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

Re: Pre-draft & pre-free-agent day speculation
Yeah, I would be very hesitant to put Demko into that trade, almost can't envision a scenario where I would do that.Micky wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 12:41 pmYa, think that's pretty accurate.

Stecher is one of those frozen, cauliflower crust abominations.
