That would be the best thing Canucks could do at this point if the value was right. Their going to be a bottom team next year, and the Sedins are only getting older, at least get some good value while they have a few years left.. but this is Benning we're talking about.

I'll still post the same. Won't change my impact on you ;p
The Sedins (at 50% retained) and a 3rd for Patrick Marleau (dat size) and the rights to Douglas Murray.

Nah. We're our own level of ineptitude. Though I'm sure had we had all those 1st overalls, we wouldn't be where we are right now.
Fuck Edmonton and fuck the Oilers.
Any big potential 4th line plugs you could throw in for Vancouver ?
The Canucks will add Prust as long as the Sharks also take a 5th rounder and throw in Ben Eager.
If they get rid of the Sedins, they turn from a 2 year rebuild to a 4 year rebuild.
The value on the Sedins is high but the amount of teams that can take them is small. As it needs to be a competitor with 14 million in cap space, or one that can free up that cap space. NTC will mean they dictate where to go. Luckily they aren't huge assholes like Ryan Traitor Kesler and won't hamstring the Canucks as bad.
Ryan Kesler should drive off into the sunset with Dany Heatley in his car. I don't understand why so many Vancouver fans have forgiven him so easily. Did Ottawa forgive Dany Heatley the same? Because they both did the same fucking thing, except Dany Heatley was a bit more public is all.
I think a more realistic scenario is that the Canucks trade the Sedins in the final year of their contracts and retain a portion (up to 50%) of their salary in return for a better package of prospects and picks. A lot of teams would give up gold for the Sedins at half price, and would only need $6 million in space.
That said, I think the Sedins retire Canucks.
No deal. Prust is the future of Vancouvers top 6.
Yea that's the problem with the Sedins, is that you pretty much got to trade both in the same deal; Vancouver would have to retain for sure to get good value.
Yea I dislike Kesler, and I don't even really like the Canucks.
He's certainly an amazing negotiator.
Wait until he does it to your team when you start losing because he wants his kids closer to Minnesota lakes or some bullshit, but real reason is he's a quitting whiny loser.
He's a smart man. Knew how shitty Benning would be.

Flyers always rip off their home grown players some how. Awesome contract for the Flyers.
He was asking for a trade when it was Mike Gillis.
His whining and treachery extended through 2 General Managers.
Actually even though we don't know the full situation, Ryan Kesler was part of the RJ Umberger fiasco and didn't want to play with him due to Umberger using his contract publicly.
EDIT - All we got for Umberger was a shitty rental in Martin Rucinsky. Kesler hamstringing us in another bad trade again. His treachery knows no bounds!
Vancouver is the real Toronto 2.

I would wear the shit out of a onesie around the house, but I'm already dead.
Baertschi signed a one year, one-way deal. So, at least some good has come of today. On another positive note, the Canucks don't have a ton of cap space after acquiring Sutter, so the dollar figure on Baertschi's deal can't be too absurd. (Because why would you pay your young, promising players when you can overpay Sbisa and Dorsett?)

What's the post limit again? 20,000?
Yup 20k... can go over (there's some threads on the forum with over 100k posts) but it starts making a mess of vbulletin after a while. At least it's not a 1k cap like HF
I am so happy!

I think we had this thread since the playoffs. Man it feels like yesterday that chicago just won the cup again.
Let's watch my favorite highlight of the Stanley Cup Final shall we?

Someone should probably make a new thread.
Sort of a tangent, but I was just thinking this morning, between Leafs and Jays, Toronto has had a lot of blockbuster trades in the last 8 months or so.

Does the new thread get created in Community or just OT?
I could make one when I get home.
