guntrix Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Well it’s no secret that the same posters are defending the move tooth and nail. Personally, I’m going to reserve on my concerns to wait and see what player the lightning end up drafting with our 1st round pick. That’ll give us a better idea on whether this was a mistake or not.

And Miller was not the only one to struggle offensively in the post season FYI. The whole team did, hence the 4 game sweep. Players making alot more than him too.

-Moose Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Benning upgraded the wrong position.. We just drafted our top 6 winger. Way too much for something we don't really need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I hope Benning has a plan to recover a 1st from somewhere else. It must be part of the master plan.....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it'd be pretty hard for me to find free agents on a reasonable contract. Also, where did I say he's bad??? I said he's not worth at all what we gave up. You said he's a player available every free agency. I'm saying show me. Use past examples. I won't wait..

Hey, if you’re right then Benning will be long gone. There’s that bright side to look forward to! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they had to give up someone, and they got maximum value doing. Plus they pulled it off right before him NTC kicked it. Excellent move. They've made alot of picks over the years so they have young players coming up. Cirelli, Joseph, Raddysh, Katchouk, exc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBossy Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I find it amusing that people are on here complaining about this trade and talking about how we need the draft pick etc - we rank top 5 in all of the prospect rankings I have seen. Giving up a 1st rounder and a 3rd to get a 26 yr old power forward who addresses a major need for this team - top 6 player is a risk I am more than comfortable having Benning take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant even add one as a throw in to a deal had to be a 3rd rounder. Oh well, not JB 1st or last move that I am skeptical on. Hope that mini swede we took can be a Zuccarello type for us, sure wanted us to take Korzak from the Rockets who went next pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no value. Then they will sign with other teams as depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianRugby Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 6 minutes ago, The Lock said: Overreact much? Keep in mind the 1st is conditional. If it turns out to be a high end pick, we have bigger issues at that point. People here are going all doom and gloom, yet we actually got a player we need on our roster. There's word that other teams like Calgary wanted Miller so we clearly had to beat out at least one other team on this. Uh yeah if it turns out to be a high pick it means we're a garbage team with no draft picks. I'd say that's an issue. Though not one Benning would have to worry about so he don't care. We do need a Miller on our roster but he's not a gamechanger. If you're a meh team like the Canucks are, you shouldn't trade your 1st & 3rd unless it's a player that will change the franchise, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
