Type R Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Has anyone else seen this? Hockeyfeed Article I'm not good at linking, but the summary basically is stating that Benning asked an analytics company to fudge the numbers on Granlund and Prust to convince the rest of management that the trade for them would help the team. While I do feel Prust ended up being a bust (i feel that was injury related), I do think Granlund is finding his stride and he's become a competent 3rd liner who has a nose for chances. I haven't seen anyone else post this, just curious on everyones thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead73 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 That would be a silly thing to do as there are tons of analytics data out there that would contradict the so called fudged numbers... what do they call it? Fake news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yeah...not a valid source. Anyone can go find a blog done by a guy who lives in his mom's basement writing about pretty much anything and call it news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Why would Benning intentionally trade for players that weren't great, and try and wrap an outside analytics company into the fraud? How would this help him in any way?? Also, didn't Jim allege he knew very little about Granlund and went for him mostly off of Weisbrod's recommendation? Why bother fudging the numbers when you admit publicly you don't know anything about the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SN- Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 This is BS. That website is nothing but a clickfarm and the source is some mediocre podcast. I wouldn't put any thought into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning gets a manufactured stats report from the future Coyotes GM to fake out Bergevin about Kassians issues.... and the Granlund deal was just a cover to make Montreal think Jim was nuts.... and then Bergevin gets revenge with a $50,000 fine and doesn't trade us PK, lessening the competition for the Coyotes. Why didn't we all see this before??? That Chayka is a fracking genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The funniest part of all this is Twitter source wannabes like Taj tweeting this stuff out in an attempt to break news.
