I think you're looking for the anti-tank thread.
Seriously though, you're right. That's what we'll have to do for the foreseeable future unless we want to go crazy.

The Leafs lineup tonight has a cap hit of 29.6M.
we really going to judge where our team is on saturday after beating that?
3 game winning streak though. People are right, we cannot compete with a team whose ownership has fully bought into the route they must take.

and hired a ton of people to help insulate the inexperience of Shanahan instead of retreads and his kids as scouts.

It's going to be a disaster. Probably will win in convincing fashion against an AHL team and Benning will claim that he owes it to the players to buy at the deadline and help them go on a run.
So glad I mailed it in and never bothered to really watch the team this year. "Might be looking to add."

I'll have to agree with this.
Unless Benning plans to trade for a 20-24 year strong young player, or a reclamation prospect like Baertschi or Etem, I would be fully against 'buying' a vet as well.
We'll see what happens.

If you take Benning at face value and believe he is going to buy for a playoff run, what's he going to trade with? Who is expendable? Who can the Canucks move out and still make the playoffs? Canucks need everybody they have now, so he must be talking about spending draft picks?
Would anyone be down with trading picks to support this current roster?
Benning must be talking out his exhaust. It's obvious the team is hampered by injuries and he will use that to his advantage when he has to explain the season. It's laughable that they still expect playoffs. It's ironic that they looked like a real team only briefly when the Captain was injured. It's just sad they insist on keeping this top line. Well, sad or demented.

If JB doesn't sell any UFAs before the TDL, then I can't support this management anymore.
Not saying I'll spend time and energy on ******** this current management since that won't accomplish anything, all I can do is wish for the best on what every happen to this team.

I am right there with you, on the fence, watching Benning closely at this deadline.

It's funny cause eveytime when I join the minority to support a person, The person I support usually fail me at some point.
Miller, WD, Benning.....so far only Baertschi makes me proud.

then trade either horvat or mccann for a 2nd because we needed to have a pick in the first two rounds.

Let's not get that far, Horvats was never on the table for a lot of trade talks.
I still believe we are gonna be sellers or fringe buyers at the deadline
I won't quit on the team if Hamuis or Vrbata are not traded if the value isn't there, they both deserve to decide where they want to play and they will make that choice either at the deadline or more likely as free agents
I am on board with trimming the fat for project players, I would love to move contracts for prospects and picks but its a different world now, deadline deals aren't as prominent ( at least thats how it appears to me )
I can't see Benning shoring up the team at the expense of the future, that much i can bank on, who was the last veteran we mortgaged our future on, Kassian doesn't count
