Benning looks right -- picks and prospects are harder to come by now. Not the first trade so far in which picks aren't for this draft. Agreed but Benning should still be making these trades. Even if they are 2019 picks he's still around next draft. Heres hoping he can unload some of our extra players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The shameless Oilers firmly positioned for tanking, they will make their big roster moves in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team picks up a 3rd round pick in 2019 and people are acting like Benning is off on a golf course somewhere with no idea what's going on.

Sutter is valuable but 28, big contract so what could you get for him?? Maybe 3rd rounder.. Nilsson= at most a 5th rounder and there better goalies out there, he is a backup so more of a summer deal... Vanek 34 = For sure trade for a 3rd.... Grabner got Rangers a 2nd but he is 29 and very fast, 25 goal scorer.. Tanev = should get 1st rounder and prospect, Hard to trade right now injured..Maybe Toronto or Tampa? Hutton = Trade for a very good prospect that needs a change of address from another team? Winnepeg,Tampa have lots of good prospects.. Gagner = don't think you will get more then a 3rd, he has 22 points in 50 games???? 3.5 million I think Vanek and Hutton will be traded....

Rick Blight Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 3 minutes ago, rekker said: He was on waivers just awhile ago was he not? Yes, he was but was that a failure of Montreal to trade him? Seems like we are suggesting Hutton is worth more but I am not sure about that. Other than being Canucks' fans, what makes us think that? Also bear in mind that Hutton is making twice as much as Davidson and that could be a factor with the Islanders trying to re-sign Tavares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Im saying is that it doesn't hurt Benning to be making trades for next years draft if he's going to be getting better picks. Im not saying he's not doing anything but that he should be aiming for best value. Trading guys like Hutton, Biega, Del Zotto, Vanek, Dowd, granlund aren't going to hurt our future core and only add to it. No matter what we get back.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 This is the second straight year where Brandon Davidson was traded by the Oilers near the Trade Deadline. Last year, he was traded to the Canadiens for David Desharnais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next year always comes. You have treat it like a third. It's easier to move because it doesn't impact you away sure. That pick doesn't lose value because it's next years pick. Anyone using that as justification is only fooling themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
