J-Dizzle Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 33 minutes ago, combover said: Yeah trolling since 1990. Or maybe that makes me a bandwagoner. Troll just the term of the day Benning fans use when people don’t like there lord and saviours stupid moves being criticized I’m not a fan of Benning. Some on here are fans of Benning and I’ve had discussions with them And disagree without childish name calling. I respect those the ones, the ones instantly go troll just show a lack of wits and an inability to accept that not everyone has to agree especially on a DISCUSSION BOARD. Curious to know if your in a live conversation with a friend or family member and they disagree with your point of view do you just call them trolls. Fyi what you did with your comment is the definition of trolling. Mission accomplished I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 18 minutes ago, WHL rocks said: That's ideal. But JB will be gone and new GM in if miss playoffs. Best thing is make playoffs both years and hope it's not a top 10 pick going to TBL If new GM comes in who knows what happens. He likely makes some changes. If we make the playoffs first year, then second year isn't in play. And TBL's pick will be 17th or worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post canuck73_3 Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 1 minute ago, NHL97OneTimer said: It was simply to say that we took on Eriksson's salary expecting more based on his history. If this didn't cost a first rounder, I wouldn't be hesitant about this trade. I still may be very happy with it. I just would have liked to keep the first round picks when while we have a good drafting GM (unlike 2007 until JB). I know I'm not alone in thinking the loss of the first rounder is an eyebrow raiser. But JB got his man and the ship has sailed. Hopefully it works out. Miller has been basically a 50 point player on 2 teams now I’m not at all concerned he'll struggle to produce with Petey and Brock 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just now, Hutton Wink said: Yes, I don't think he's signing any more forwards, minimal reason being we have too many as it is. One thing that's easy to forget, is that we already have another top-6 winger -- Baertschi, providing of course he can regain and retain health. If he falters, we can put Leivo up there, increasing the top-6 heaviness even more. I don't think that's necessarily going to be true. If he can't land a D via UFA then he may grab a forward and then trade from strength. Likely, he goes hard after Myers.

Baggins Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 8 minutes ago, Losing With Pride said: With the current state of our defence and defensive prospects, I’m a little worried yes. Well if we miss the playoffs next year Tampa has to wait another year for that pick. Next year Tryamkin's KHL contract expires and he can return. Do you like our chances better with him on the back end for the following year? And all of this ignores possible ufa additions, more prospects possibly surprising, and other possible trades that can improve the team even further. I see it as a pretty decent deal considering Tampa has to wait up to two years to get that pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sarcasm by the way. I have no issue with people that think Bennings doing a good job it’s funny that most of them can’t accept fans that don’t like what he’s doing and stand behind what they say. Must be a troll. I don’t post on here to get a rise I post my opinion same as you.if some one wants to discuss it great Don’t like it don’t read it, ignore me, want to try to brow beat bully or intimidate with childish name call well I can drop to that level too. Let me ask you this so for two years most on here have be laughing at the oiliers and lucic and how eriksson is better. now a rumour surfaces that eriksson for Lucy and those same people now say great what a great move get it done. What changed other than the management said so. If someone else is doing your thinking and you blindly follow and change your opinion and beliefs to match and defend almost angrily wouldn’t that make that person your lord or saviour.almost sound like a religious fanatic .. that’s how some on here act with Benning. Now chia pet isn’t the worst gm ever and he would be a great addition...lol.really why because he’s a Canucks. but I’m a troll because I don’t want to trade first rounders, acquire players like Lucy or have a guy that just got fired for being terrible and I stand behind it and defend my position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaudette Celly Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 1 hour ago, King Heffy said: Now that I've had time to digest, I don't mind this deal. Interestingly, I've found that to be true of many of Benning's trades. Shinkaruk, Gudbranson, and this one all gave me initial pause and concern, but then after a bit of pondering and looking into things it came into focus and made good sense. So glad he can think (and plan) in multiple levels and layers, beyond our (often emotional) inclination to look at surface things like base stats and money. I think that's why there's quite a number of folks that don't understand both the individual transactions and the overall plan that's being implemented -- media like Ray Ferraro in particular. Would NOT want him any where the GM chair with his one-dimensional perspectives, at all. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trebreh Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 I did some digging around to look for some more recent comparables on what a top 6 forward would cost to acquire. so i came up with the Kane trade to the Sharks... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/sabres-trade-forward-evander-kane-sharks/ the Sharks gave up a conditional 1st, conditional 4th in 2020 and a prospect/project in Danny O'Reagan. Kevin Hayes trade cost the Jets a 1st a conditional 4th and a decent prospect Brendan Lemieux... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets-acquire-kevin-hayes-new-york-rangers/ We gave up a 1st in 2021, a 3rd and a throw in Mazanec for arguably the better player of the three on a MUCH better contract and cap hit. Kane 7m - Hayes 7m - Miller 5.2m JB is going to look like a genius if he clicks with Petey and Brock and puts up 60 points and all his haters will go on hiding. 3 3 4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
