Grade Your Canucks After Day #1 Of Free Agency

How was your Saturday? Get an early start, a nice breakfast perhaps, take in a little nature?

Of course not. You kept refreshing Twitter like the rest of us heathens. You’re in good company.

Here’s my favorite quote from today, courtesy of Das Botch:

A year ago the Canucks spent $36 million alone on Loui Eriksson and he scored 11 goals. This year, they got six players for $22.7 million all in.

So that’s progress.

Bingo bango bongo.

Again, Benning can’t sell a shot at the playoffs, much less the Cup (part of which explains why Ryan Miller bolted out of town), but he can sell a young team with plenty of openings for veterans to push the rookies or keep their spots warm while they continue developing.
