He traded all this so Allvin could get Casey DeSmith - on a trade tree.

Benning is an embarrassment to the NHL society in general, his entire nine year body of work is drafting Demko in the second round, taking an undersized Quinn Hughes 7th overall where he was projected to go because of his size, being overruled and having to draft Elias Pettersson and trading for JT Miller. The guy is an absolute ass-clown. It took him nine years to do that.

Oh, and drafting Brock Boeser who the masses couldn't wait to get out of Vancouver fast enough, until this year.

Insane that his combined signing history adds up to just shy of 3/4 of a BILLION dollars

Very, very unlikely unless Lord Mangina owns a team.

Thanks Yorki

It seems some goof keeps skipping the part of real playoff experience. Now even RT points it out like in your quote. But of course that will be ignored. Calling the players clowns too.

AVS and EDM have superstars on their team. Closest Canucks have to a SS is Hughes and he is not quite there yet. Playoffs.

The Oilers are not the same team the Canucks beat during the regular season, they looked deep against LA. I laughed at them during the regular season but their give a f**k meter wasn’t the same as it looks now. They mean business.

I don’t think Draisaitl re-signs there so this is their last kick at it with their two superstars.

Didn't the champs say the same thing about Travis Green??

IMO it is between AVs or Oilers to win it all.

I will wait until Canucks playoffs are over before I comment on that but yeah.

That backend and goaltending in Dallas will be tough.

Rutherford said he will be top 5 once he gets stronger, he’s not a man physically yet, same for Hughes. It’s amazing how McMuffin went from a skinny kid to being strong almost overnight, genetically modified? I know Lebron is.

The Avs made some great moves at the deadline to bolster an already strong team.

After that Dubois fiasco, I’m starting to think that Blake was using Benning as a consultant.

Wonder how much the preds get away with, a lot of interference going on.

I'm expecting a 'Ryan Kesler' type game from Pettersson tonight. Petey needs to show up and be dominant.

These are the types of games where 'timely' calls happen...
