Re: Canucks News and Notes
Exactly, where's Sven? Does he need to be there?
You have to remember Sven was picked up because buck toothless was growing Slazengers on his spine.

Buck Toothless = Zach Kassian
Slazenger = Tennis Ball

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Would Benning and co. really admit that mistake so soon? Seems like giving up a 2nd round pick (Rasmus Andersson) for 5 games and 2 goals of Sven would be quite the price to pay. Vey got a whole season, Bonino got a whole season, hell even Clendening got 17 games before Benning decided it he was a mistake.Topper wrote:Exactly, where's Sven? Does he need to be there?

Re: Canucks News and Notes
I'm not even fired up, Dude. Topper is right, Baertschi might not be good enough to make the team, and if that is the case Benning will either save him a spot, be forced to put him on waivers or trade him.RoyalDude wrote:Settle downIsland Nucklehead wrote:Would Benning and co. really admit that mistake so soon?

Re: Canucks News and Notes
It'd be even harder for Vey. HPV is tenacious, and hard to get rid of. That doesn't describe Vey last year.Island Nucklehead wrote:Prust-Horvat-Vey.... HPV would be a terrible burden for the young man to carry.Cornuck wrote: Could well be - but I take one look at that and think "Poor Horvat...." :/

Buck Toothless wasn't going to be able to play due to injury. Sven was insurance in case of further injury woes. If he can't make the grade this season, so be it.
It could be Sven, Ronalds, or Lynden,at that spot in the lineup I was drawing names from a hat, but for me to slot Gaunce in, someone had to be out. I thought Vey was more effective on wing last season and gives the option of playing some centre. Gaunce offers similar versatility.
Why does Benning's ego have to be a factor?

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Let's hope Sven sees the log-jam at forward and puts the effort in to win the spot. If he does, you wonder if Burrows, Vrbata, Higgins and Hansen are on borrowed-time. It's that or pump up Vey with lots of PP time and trade him.
Re: Canucks News and Notes
One other thing from Benning's interviews the other day was on the impact of the exchange rate.
I remember a poster commenting on that while the current CBA was being negotiated.............

...
McKenzie then asked him about the importance of signing his soon to be free agents to new contracts, focusing in on Dan Hamhuis. Benning talk about Dan Hamhuis, Radim Vrbata and Brandon Prust as being three critical free agents that they would be monitoring. He said they are key parts of our organization at this point and that they have had discussions with the players and their agents about the future. He was asked if any of those three would have new contracts before the season started. He answered no, there is no chance of that. He said they were taking a wait and see approach, how the season plays out, and the state of the Canadian dollar and how it would impact the marketplace moving forward.
