Damn it, I want that first pick in round 2 to take Tyler Benson from the Giants.

This is kind of like worrying about the pebbles of gold in the river when you just dug up the motherlode.

its settled then ... Flames should keep the # 6 and select Jake Bean

/if hes hasnt already been taken by Benning at #5

 

[jstewismybastardson]

didnt the kings send out a letter/info to the other 29 teams yesterday saying theyve given permission to Lucic to talk to other teams immediately ???

lol nobody tell jimbo PLEASE!!!!

a boost to bennings confidence? turns out he not the only idiot gm

Different kind of blood clot, though (not that I'm any sort of expert, but from what I read).

Stamkos' clots have a 5% chance of re-appearing. For me, that's about the percentage chance of me, you or anybody else on earth getting blood clots. Doesn't bother me so much.

Yep, in Stamkos' case they knew exactly what caused the clot and removed the offending rib so that it wouldn't cause a problem anymore. I mean, it's never preferred to have anything go wrong with a guy healthwise but this shouldn't be a problem going forward.

Stamkos seems unlucky, not fragile. There are guys that are made of glass (think Rick Dipietro). Then there are guys like Stamkos who suffered a broken leg on a 1 in a million play and suffered another 1 in a million ailment with his blood clot.

Maybe, but one of the Oilers biggest issues is after the first round of the draft has concluded, they basically close up shop and call it a day.

Matthew Sekeres @mattsekeres
#Canucks GM Jim Benning tells us he has spoken with #Habs on PK Subban. High price, and "it's a long way from completing a deal like that"

Matthew Sekeres @mattsekeres
Benning: "nowhere near close" to a Subban deal but expects if there is a deal to be made, negotiations would go through the night tonight

i can recall praying to Oprah for a Luongo,Ballard,Mason Raymond for Subban and Price trade way back in the day

/oprah works in mysterious ways

I would laugh if the Canucks swooped in and snatched PK right from under the Oilers noses.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Benning also confirmed they will be in on Stamkos during free agency

 

[dash]

I guess you would have to figure Tanev would be part of the package heading to the Habs for PK.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Oprah has ruled edler would go and tanev would stay and then Stamkos will sign here

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Benning speaking so matter of factly about the potential subban trade ... could he actually be smart and is trying to make Coilers pull the trigger on a big deal for Subban so a player ends up falling to #5 ???

naw lol

What would the Flames need to add to take the Jackets pick at #3 plus BOB-ROV-SKY (big money) for pick #6?

Monahan, Bennett, Gaudreau and a time machine to get a young Iginla.

You sure you don't want Brodie or Hamilton as well?

You sure you don't want Brodie or Hamilton as well?

Only if you take Tyutin.

What am I missing on the whole Subban thing?

I can't for the life of me figure out why people are seemingly convinced that Montreal wants or has to move him ASAP.

If I'm the GM and somebody calls with an offer, I'm going to listen, because I'd be stupid not to, but I wouldn't be actively shopping him either.

Rumou(u)rs or locker room troubles, that mostly seem unfounded, plus the fact that he has a NMC that kicks in July 1.

Montreal would be pretty stupid to trade him.
