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?

Not the night for it...but Got nothing for Kesler Drafted JV 6th overall Has signed some ridiculous contract extensions. 3 yrs in ...we are a mess with probably the worst talent pool in the entire league. Please don't chime in with the Dahlen and Goldobin acquisitions....you think those teams gave up "top" prospects they were really high on ? Time will tell...that they are instantly 2 of our top 5 prospects is testimony enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a somewhat smart person, and know some players take a bit longer to develop, it is a fine pick. What 'ridiculous' contracts are you talking about? A healthy Sutter is worth his contract. In the last season and a half, Sbisa was earning his. Doresett I'll give you, because I just don't like the look of his dumb face. Hahaha Dahlin and Goldy were great returns for what we sent the other way. You are just regurgitating other trolls arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinar Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think our GM can be credited with a win tonight just for not participating in some of the stupidity and just letting it happen. Would I rather have had Las Vegas take Dorsett or Biega, hell ya, but losing Sbisa isn't the worst thing that could have happened. I still don't really understand what Florida or the Islanders are doing, but I can't understand Vegas taking Engelland from Calgary either. We lost a player, but every team was going to lose one. At least we didn't give vegas 2 or 3 others in the way of draftpicks/prospects for the honour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was made as a lite hearted joke at Benning 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...
