  1. With a 27 year old top line left winger making ten million dollars a year, who needs a 22 year old top line right winger making 6-7 million dollars per year? Everyone knows one top six winger is enough!
  2. That's really lopsided in favor of EDM. They'd have to add a lot. Maybe their 1st rd pick to pique Buffalo's interest.
  3. Straight across for Boeser, since moving Boeser seems to be the popular thing to do around here these days.
  4. Currently in an argument with Brendan Batchelor on Twitter over whether it would be better to have Zaitsev or Tryamkin.

      Wasn't me. Wasn't even aware he was a captain let alone potentially stripped.

      The whole twitter convo made me happy. It also REALLY shined a light on how absolutely numb Batchelor is between the ears.

      It also inspired me to get twitter again.

  5. No actual improvement to the defense here. In fact, if Edler doesn't resign, that's a significant downgrade. Hard pass.
  6. Minny isn't trading Dumba. We're not trading Boeser. Wish people would get through through their thick skulls and drop it.
  7. That seems like an exaggeration. Going over his entire trade history, he's only made a handful of trades for established NHLers. Pearson for Gudbranson = win Spooner for Gagner = wash Schenn for Del Zotto = win Leivo for Carcone = win Leipsic for Holm = win (albeit a very minor one) Gudbranson & 5th for McCann & 2nd & 4th = loss Sutter & 3rd for Bonino, Clendening & 2nd = loss Prust for Kassian = loss Bonino, 1st, Sbisa and 3rd for Kesler & 3rd = loss (Though Benning was obviously extremely handcuffed here) Dorsett for 3rd = win As far as I can tell, these are all of the trades Benning has made for somewhat established players. 5 wins, 1 tie, 4 losses. So the argument that Benning has lost every trade for an established player isn't a very strong one. If you want to make the argument that Benning hasn't won any of the bigger trades he's made, I think there's a stronger argument to be made.
  8. Yeah, I'd say his record is about 50/50. Granlund for Shinkaruk was another win. Del Zotto for Schenn and a 2020 7th looks promising. I'd consider Dorsett for a 2014 3rd rd pick a win as well. That being said, his record when it comes to big trades isn't all that good, although he hasn't actually made many big trades, so it's a pretty small sample size.
  9. Raymond, Ballard, Stanton, a 3rd, Pat O'Neill, Fin, the kitchen sink, etc etc... Also, you can't just assume that you're going to be able to sign the most coveted free agent on the market.
  10. Just saying that the option of signing Panarin is still there, regardless of whether or not we stupidly trade the best RW we've had since Bertuzzi.
  11. Again, Benning is on record saying it won't happen, so no, Boeser doesn't have a price.
  12. No way Zucker is worth 8th overall. Not even close. We can sign Panarin anyways. No thanks to Duchene.
  13. Considering that Benning is on record saying that he's not going to be trading one of our core guys, this talk of Boeser in any sort of deal is irrelevant.
  14. Jeez, everyone wants out of Winnipeg. Starting to see why their franchise folded.
  15. So trade Boeser for Zucker and 12th overall? Cool. So once Zucker is over the hill in 3 years or so, hopefully the guy we pick at 12th overall will have been developed into a player as good as Boeser. Perfect.
  16. I fed the troll. I shouldn't have fed the troll. Don't be like me. Don't feed the troll.
  17. With the recent trade talk surrounding Zucker, maybe Benning feels Panarin is out of our price range?
  18. Actually, Zucker and Myers are both intriguing and would help out team pretty significantly. What matters is the price.
  19. I won't lie, it worries me giving up significant young assets for a 27 year old winger when we're still a rebuilding team. Maybe on the tail end of it now, but still.
  20. Boldy, Zegras and Newhook are my three favorites at 10 right now. Obviously if someone like Dach, Cozens or Turcotte falls that changes things. I'm lukewarm on Krebs, Podkolzin being signed for two more years in Russia and his possible lack of enthusiasm for playing in NA scares me, as does Caulfield's lack of size and wheels. Any of the other forwards I'm down for, as long as we don't go way off base and pick Kaliyev or something.
  21. I think he could very well be available. 1) Hughes 2) Kakko 3) Bryam 4) Turcotte 5) Dach 6) Cozens 7) Boldy 8) Soderstrom/Broberg 9) Krebs 10) Zegras I could very easily see something like that playing out. Caulfield, Seider, Podkolzin, Newhook, and the other one of Broberg/Soderstrom could potentially rise into the top ten as well. I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that Zegras is available at ten. And if he isn't, that would likely mean that someone like Boldy falls to us. Either way, it's a win/win.
  22. We already have 3 bad contracts in Eriksson, Sutter and Spooner. Any more could be absolutely crippling. Also, with one more year left on his contract, I'm pretty sure Benning wants to make the playoffs next season. Having 5 albatross contracts won't exactly help matters in that regard.
