Holland spoke with both Benning and Athanasiou. "Didn't work out anything, so they'll be going unqualified."

Hmmmm... so draft Michael Benning tomorrow and sign Matthew Benning on Friday.

Thoughts Meg?

Well since no one seemed to join my “save Shotgun Jake club”, I’d just like to congratulate Jake on getting his qualifying offer.
Yipeeeeee!

Next step is for Big Tuna to agree to a contract and then hang on without getting traded until training camp...baby steps, but I’m confident with all his club member support, all one of us, we’ll get there.

Hey, if he can stick with an honest effort every game, he's a good player with excellent skills and still room to improve. Maybe Green has him
on a short leash because of trust issues. Maybe Trav should be a little less trigger happy. Who knows. Very good chance he's resigned.

I worry about Jake being a club member.

UFA goalie market is really crowded all of a sudden!

Holtby
Crawford
Markstrom
Smith
Anderson
Dell
Greiss
Lundqvist
Khudobin
Howard
Talbot
Miller
Domingue
Hutchinson
Schneider
Kinkaid

All the Canucks need is 1B goalie for two years to help play games with Demko.

Not many should get more than 3 million. Maybe Marky and Holtby, anyone else?

Hawks couldn't re-sign Crawford because he was demanding $4.5M+ AAV range, so he may very well get about $4M ish.

Jimmy's neph is an UFA - Matt Benning. 6'1 - 203lbs. right shot. Oil didn't want to qualify him at his $1.9M aav. Wouldn't mind him to replace Stecher at about $1.5M ish, avg 17-20pts a year.

#sens Dorion says they did not qualify Duclair. Dorion says that Duclair acted as his own agent and that they offered him a “substantial raise” but that Duclair will be headed to free agency.

Only 5'11 but "left wing". Decent player but 25 yrs old and already played for 5 NHL teams. That signifies something. Too bad.

He represented himself in contract talks with Dorion. Seems like a weirdo.

Looks like Khudobin has the Canucks on his list. He would be an excellent compliment to Demko in nets.

Toffoli looks like a goner.

Anything negative about a coloured player always hearkens me back to this:

PK Subban
Mike Grier
Jarome Iginla
Dustin Byfuglien
Shawn Belle
Ray Emery
Joel Ward
Wayne Simmonds
Jamal Mayers
Evander Kane
Nigel Dawes
Akim Aliu

Rummy has his own list

We have some nice options if we can't re-sign Marky. According to Dhaliwal, Braden Holtby & Thomas Greiss are interested in Vancouver as well. Apparently Greiss likes mountain biking in Whistler.

Let’s be clear about something here, Bersnooz! Everyone wants to play here now. Like fishing out of a barrel. “Come to Papa” - Jimbro Benning

Maybe Dave Poulin has heard Wennberg likes Chinese food.
