Jensen had his first real burst on to the scene, and shows real potential as a sniper, and Gaunce has been buried in depth chart by Horvat, but I suspect Benning will want to keep him, a big body, young guy who could be perfect for the 3rd line role - smart player, not maybe a top 6 guy but if you got Reinhart, and had Reinhart, Horvat, Guance down the middle for the next 5-10 years, that could be a bright future.
Uh, the gap in age on defense to NHL potential/capable players is greater on D than it is with F, so I'd rather them move a Jensen or Gaunce over a Tanev (especially, since he's proven he can play in the NHL).

The Islanders should be totally open for business but thanks to ole players agent making like a players agent and taking care of his players with NTC's, the likes of Kesler will not waive to got their. Same goes for Florida.
I wonder if Kesler would waive his NTC to go to the NYR? Even with his issues with AV, the fact that they made it to the SC Finals might open his eyes ... let alone the potential endorsement opportunities that NYC can bring.

Hamhuis is a guy that they might consider moving at the TDL this season or next if they aren't in the Playoffs picture to a contender. But right now, they are operating on the assumption that they are going to make it. I think the reason why Garrison's name is mentioned is that of the three BC NTC boys (Bieksa is a transplanted BCer essentially), Garrison seems like the one guy that would waive his NTC right now to go back to his former team FLA.

Source???
I guess that doesn't preclude him still trying to get a higher pick,but that will be quite the rabbit to pluck out of his hat.

Jim Benning guarantee on Vancouver's No, 6 pick. "We're going to be using that pick." You can bet he won't trade No. 36 either.
