Provided Benson doesn't drop to 11... what about this? To Van 17 43 Matta to Det 11 Boeser Matta's a 6'2 LD on a cheap 3M contract for 2 more years. We drop down a couple spots and can probably use that pick to get a Willander or a Simashev. Matta was excellent with Hronek this year. We also get a 2nd this year to shore up the pipeline. Detroit moves up 6 spots to get a bigger swing in the draft and also get Boeser who's still a young top six forward that they can keep or parlay into future assets.

[Buyout] Oliver Ekman-Larsson

The Jim Benning cult will be studied for many years. It’s like a huge part of this fanbase collectively stoped using their brains at the same time. -

I remember everyone completely hating and downvoting people that didn’t like the trade. Let’s just say the collective IQ of this fanbase is not very high… -

We need good defenseman period - doesn't matter which side. Girard would be our second best defenseman behind Hughes. -
So they took a risk and they failed. Pederson still had 2 productive years for us. That's basically what hindsight means. This trade was bad from the start and many called it from the beginning, just check the first couple of pages. Similarly, Naslund for Stojanov trade was bad the instant it was made.

There's no guarantee we would have even picked Wesley. On paper, we gave up a top pick and a struggling player for a top line player. Who knew Pederson was gonna drop off after 2 years? Who knew Neely was suddenly going to go from a 30 point player to a 90 point player? This is all hindsight... it's literally in the definition of hindsight.

I see so many people hating on Friedman because his '32 thoughts/rumors' don't come to fruition. "OH ELLIOTS A HACK HE JUST NAME DROPS VANCOUVER TO GENERATE CLICKS" Like a bunch of people who smashing their keyboards on a computer think they know more than arguably the most connected media member in the league. Not to mention, a lot of ideas/trades get discussed but never materialize.

Guenther's likely going to be a staple in the top six for the next 10 years. This trade hurts as each day goes on. It just gets worse and worse and worse. OEL keeps declining, Garland keeps declining, and Guenther keeps rising. Did I mention Guenther costs 900k? OEL and Garland cost $13M... smh Honestly, I'd suggest to just hibernate (don't go to games, do other things) and just put the fandom on hold if you want your mental health to improve. This team is terrible, capped out, has no prospects, no assets, and worst of all, not bad enough to tank for top prospects. I haven't watched a full game all year, it's just background noise right now.
