Jim Benning did well... Traded almost all his bad contracts and got an overpaid but ul defenceman and a good winger.

It once again shows their urgency to win now.

Whether they are moving too quickly is another topic, but I think they have now traded their first round draft pick in two of the last three years.

I don't think that will age well...

The ship out the first along with Beagle, Eriksson and Roussel,
and get a top-4 D and and a 2nd liner.
Very good deal. Some team wouldve asked for the first straight up to take all that dead cap, but Van added nice pieces. Excellent deal.

I just want to say this....and I will surely be wrong...but Pastujov is one of the few prospects that I won't be thrilled about. If you have to find a player that might not see his talent being translated to the NHL....for me....it's him. Skating isn't good. And frankly, most plays that I see him do is not at high speed. There's a limit to be able to slow down the play. It's not about that for him. It's just missing a key speed to how he thinks the game. AT least, from what I saw. We will see. It's the US...so I wouldn't be surprised to see him be taken.

I dare say hes a legit top 2D , based on playing them 9 times this year , he'll help them a lot. he's swedish for the Petersson connection.

All around a good move by Benning, but could backfire if he doesn't age well......has been injured a lot

Yes but I hope we don’t spend any of it on anyone! Keep it for Molson! :sarcasm:

I don't buy that anti-Molson bull. He has spent all kinds of money on things he didn't have like scouting staff, facilities, charter planes etc... not to mention taking on cap dumps and spending to the cap. I see that people want to blame the evil overlord, but in this case I think he wants to build a winner. But that's just my opinion.

I think he is dropping...

Yeah it’s a weird draft for sure. Rumoured quality indicates low end prospects, we pick 30th and OHL/WHL with low to no exposure.

low to no exposure works in our favour. means higher variance of talent spread through the draft instead of condensed at the top, since there is lower certainty that these guys actually pan out

I have a meh feeling that Stankoven falls and we take him, he's like a Gallagher/Caufield combo

30th is good value for him but I can see him falling to the 2nd

You’re from around here, no? Apparently the ownership is as meddling as it gets.
 
Do Canucks even trade Schmidt right now? What's the point of this trade if they are going to break up:
Hughes-Schmidt
OEL-Myers
