Cromeslab Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Restricted free agent Jamie Benn was not at training camp for the Dallas Stars on Sunday and a deal does not appear to be close at this point. "I'm optimistic that we'll have him back on the team, but it won't be today," Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk told TSN (and ESPN.com) on Sunday. "We'll focus on the guys we have here, because it's a short camp and we need to get ready. But in the meantime, certainly we'll keep working away at trying to get Jamie re-signed." The 23-year-old played in 71 games with the Stars last season, recording 26 goals and 37 assists. In three seasons in Dallas, Benn has 160 points in 222 games. Take it for what it's worth people,man would it be nice to get him somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Here we go with the proposals. First of all doesn't Dallas already have Lehtonen as their starting goalie? Secondly Dallas WILL sign Jamie no question. They'd be very foolish not to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckFan1981 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I don't think you can trade for a guy that isn't under contract. Dallas don't have a contract with him, hence he is not at training camp. Dallas will sign him if at all possible. If not , we could sign him and pay Dallas a host of draft picks depending on how much we pay. I think that is how it works. Would be nice to get him, but not realistic much.

tas Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 why wouldn't luongo go to dallas? that's a potential cup contending team in a state not far from florida. not to mention he's the type of guy that would go basically wherever he's asked to if the deal helps the team.

VoiceOfReason_ Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would honestly do Kesler and a 1st for Benn. Dude is gonna be as good as Getzlaf was when he was on his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Unless there's some sort of rift and/or Benn isn't interested in staying in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Is anybody interested in living and playing hockey in Texas. Besides he's an RFA so unless Texas doesn't wan him it doesn't matter what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyderr Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 How about Edler, Shroeder, 1st for Jamie Benn Sedin Sedin Burr Higgins Kesler Hansen Booth Benn Kassian Malhotra Lappy Volpatti absolutely sick forward core deal condtional on eddie signing with dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Actually, it does. He can refuse to sign - see:Kyle Turris - and ask for a trade if he wants and not necessarily publicly. At some point he could've also held discussions with other teams, if there was anyone interested in an offersheet. So he might know of a GM who has a lot to offer him, both money and playtime wise.
