I think Benning should see this through. Last thing we need is a new GM that trades prospects away cause they don't fit the new vision. We all know/keep saying you build a winning/championship team through proper drafting which is what Benning is doing. I feel a new 2 year deal should suffice. That's enough time for most of these new prospects to make their way into the lineup and that's when we will see if this new drafted group can make the Canucks relevant again. Also to be fair Benning stepped into a shit show of prospects. Gillis went all out to make the run trading our picks and such and Benning pretty much had to fix our prospect pool

I don't get it. It's not like the Sens are saving a ton of money offloading dion.
Honestly, as much as we shit on the Aquilinis, we can always have Melnyk. lol
I went to look at Phanuef's salary on capgeek and noticed Canucks being in top 5 in salaries. We've been having shitty attendance but the owners are still willing to pay. I'm glad money is still not an issue so far.

More than likely the Senators will trade Gaborik for anything at the deadline to save more money.

Would have been a huge blockbuster... 10 years ago.
Now it's just a swap of 2 really bad contracts.
Question, would you trade Loui Eriksson for either of these?
As much has been made about him not living up to his contract. It looks pretty good compared to those 2.

Dion fucked Ottawa hard 
Refused to waive for the expansion draft, they lost Methot (who Dallas picked up for next to nothing from Vegas), then waives 50 games into the season so they can acquire another terrible contract in exchange.
Plus Mrs. Phaneuf gets to go back to LA.

Sens always had a good group of players how do they always manage to let them go?
Is the owners really that cheap?

Glad Benning re-signed. His trades have been 50/50, free agency has not been good, but his drafting is likely going to save the franchise if he keeps it up. And the other choices for GM if he wasn't re-signed are not any better.

I think we put too much weight on the Sutter and Gudbranson trades. Depending if we trade Gudbranson or not, we may land equal or more than what we got.
