Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects stops by for a full recap of the Canucks prospects cupboard in Abbotsford. Cam relates who is on track to contribute, who is ready, and who might be getting their final look in the organization. Then John Shannon stops by to scope the NHL playoffs, the Canucks’ road to return there, and who they might be able to acquire to help them.

imagine living in a state or province that seeks to penalize companies looking to give people jobs. These two and their wacky politics!
U ain’t getting Bennett forget it.
He may have been good in the last couple playoffs… but he has a career high of 51 points and is about to be 29. Not even close to a ppg player in his career.. or in the playoffs over all, any GM that gives him 10mil with term should get fired.
Previous two years Petersson more than doubled him in points both years, Petersson has 121 more career points 221 less games… just for some perspective… and people are losing their minds about his 11.6.. when its likely he just had a down year from an injury.
I'm not saying I wouldn't take Bennett but this 10 mil talk is batshit crazy.. unless its for a team with lots of space while already being a contender and the term is maybe 2 years then ok go for it.
I don't see Bennett wanting to come here, without making him the highest paid player in the NHL. Burning up all the cap to bring him in is a bit like doing whatever Nashville did in the last offseason. This isn't the time to go big game hunting, when there are so many teams after so few free agents. This is the time when the Canucks need to be focused on addressing the holes in their roster, and figuring out where they're going with Demko and Petey.
Sekares what the hell is your fascination with Bennett you’re out of your mind I said the Canucks ain’t getting the guy now Mr Shannon just put the lid on the coffin.
