nickels Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I hope GM JB has someone beside him tonite explaining how these negotiations for retaining players works. Maybe it's not too late to learn how to become a real NHL GM. EDIT... "I agree...and not AT ALL what this post was intended to say. It was made as a lite hearted joke at Benning (many of the sharper posters managed to see that) Ridding the team of Sbisa's 3.6 contract is probably the absolute best result we could have had. No way we can't replace his play next year with that $$....much rather live w/a developing OJ and 3.6 million in cap space than another year of LS. Having said that...always liked Luca and hope he and his family enjoy their time there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickels Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ya...defend Benning. i've never seen anyone seem so out of his element as Benning does compared to other GM's. Based on his recent 31st GM ranking...doesn't seem like I'm the only one who feels this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing....just amazed how oblivious Benning always seems to the intricacies of deals. I'll find his quote somewhere... How many GMs do you feel didn't know exactly who they were losing ?

No kidding! nickels, if you want to deride Benning, go find another thread that actually has something worth deriding him for. This is not the thread you're looking for.

I got a record of the conversation from an insider: McPhee - Hey Jim, not much to pick from your team... anyone you would rather not lose? JB - Did you watch any of our games last season? You are welcome to anyone, we suck right now. We need as many draft picks as we can get and it is a cold day in hell before we give you one just to protect these plugs. McPhee - Ya, that sounds about right. Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy inherited a tire fire and has delt with an ownership who was unwilling to do what needed to be done. We now have a team with a handful of solid prospects, and are slowly getting rid of the scraps. He is doing a fine job. Also, what would you have done differently today? you would have given picks to keep Sbisa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
