I must say, Mats Zuccarello was the funniest person on the team. I am laughing right now thinking of the things he would say and do. The stuff that came out of his mouth sometimes … it was so funny. Just looking over and seeing Zucc, who is 5’7”, stand there next to my countryman Zdeno Chára, who is 6’9”, was hilarious.

I was going to offer CAS Torts back earlier today, with the caveat that it might not be smart to do because, at least for now, it's actually working for Columbus. Then I saw the Saad thing and bit my tongue.

Hopefully if Torts goes around the bend and winds up at the Citgo the Avs will have fired Bednar by that point and he can rekindle some of the magic with Werenski, Sedlak, Anderson, Milano, Bjorkstrand, Korpisalo, etc. from Cleveland.

This is Dreger just continuing to be a hack and insinuating things that can be easily contradicted. This was Benning less than a day ago:

quote:

“We’re in a transition period and that’s why I’m looking at different things,” said Benning. “If it makes sense, we’ll look at it, but I’m not moving our Grade-A prospects.”

Benning will tell you he works the phones every day and if there’s anything that can help the team trade-wise — and makes sense — he’ll do it. The problem: He doesn’t want to part with prospects such as Thatcher Demko, Brock Boeser and Olli Juolevi. He doesn’t want to surrender high draft picks. And the core players teams call about — especially Tanev — are non-starters.

http://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/jim-benning-isnt-ready-to-trade-away-key-young-canucks-assets

Dreger is as bad a pundit as Benning is a GM.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Sure, but whenever you hear a news report that includes "Jim Benning is a loving idiot/will do something very stupid" you have to automatically give it some credence.
