That's what makes him and Ferarro so great, they're able to break down plays so quickly and objectively identify what worked / what didn't. Great example of ex players using their playing time to provide analysis with substance.

Higgins..? I thought we'd been down this road
Wow look at all those shitty players. Cmonnnnn down

Hey, guys! Here's our AHL garbage for you to pick through. Hamhuis? Vrbata? We gotta keep those for the playoffs.

Looks more like a waiver list
Vey, Higgins, Prust, and Weber have literally all been on waivers this year. Cracknell (who's actually a decent NHL fourth liner) and Bartkowski are the only players on the list who haven't spent time in the AHL.
Granlund gonna push us over the edge!
Presumably the real trade chips, like Hamhuis, Vrbata, Hansen, Burrows, etc, aren't on the list because they have NTCs.

Canucks are basically saying look at all of this trash. Wouldn't be great if someone took our trash?

Didn't Benning give up an early 2nd for Vey like not even two years ago? lmao
Edit: It was the 50th pick in the 14 draft

All non-NTC expiring UFA contracts (Vey is RFA). Not unlike what the Leafs are doing.
Makes me wonder if they called up Vey in order to showcase him.

What he says is a bit vague tbh. Of course he wants to deal him "sooner than later", why wouldn't he want to?

I'm waiting for Benning to come out and say McKenzie made a mistake and that was a list of players that will *not* be traded.
And turn it into treasure somehow.
Kenins is the Latvian treasure in that list. Bless Ronalds. The rest is actually trash.
Trading Kenins genuinely doesn't make sense. He had a great back half of last season, had horrible injury luck to start this season in the AHL, but has been really good as of late. His value is as low as ever, and he's projecting to be a decent 3rd line checker who can score now and then. He seems like the perfect guy to replace Prust next season.
I can see trading him as part of a package to upgrade at another position, but you're never going to get anything of value for him in a 1-for-1 trade, and a draft pick is unlike to show as much upside.
I can't believe I missed this story on the Phaneuf trade: http://www.bonksmullet.com/2016/02/breaking-down-trade-dystopian-look-at.html

Line-up looks pretty set:
Sedin-Sedin-Hansen
Baertschi-Horvat-Virtanen
Etem-Sutter-Burrows
McCann-Granlund-Dorsett
Gaunce
He could be fighting for a 13th-forward spot but I think the Canucks will sign someone in the offseason.

Trade Deadline is going to be interesting
After missing so much time this year, I'm thinking Kenins (along with McCann and Virtanen, to be honest) would benefit from another year in Utica. He's still quite young.
Fixed
You forgot Stamkos, Drouin and Lucic.
If he's being told that then it probably means they have multiple offers and are trying to run up the price
blessssed
you know what'd be a good trade? PAP to Pittsburgh in exchange for nixing the lottery protection on their 1st and also letting us keep their 2nd

It's nice to dream.
I'd also accept their Forsberg equivalent, but I don't think they have one
