It was bad but wasn't even the worst free agent signing of 2016. 2 Kyle Okposo – RW Islanders Sabres 7 yrs, $42M ($6.0M AAV) 3 Loui Eriksson – RW Bruins Canucks 6 yrs, $36M ($6.0M AAV) 4 Milan Lucic – LW Kings Oilers 7 yrs, $42M ($6.0M AAV) 5 David Backes – C Blues Bruins 5 yrs, $30M ($6.0M AAV) 6 Andrew Ladd – LW Blackhawks Islanders 7 yrs, $38.5M ($5.5M AAV)

It would probably be : Loui Eriksson! And the same ppl would say that is why he is one of the worst GM's in league history. Even though it wasn't a max deal, Benning signed no max deals. And he probably took less to play with the Sedins. I think without the OEL trade, Bennings legacy should be a fair bit better. But I don't think it would be. People were tired of him and just wanted to lynch him. The average NHL GM's body of work is fairly bad. I think Benning was average. But without OEL, no max deals and drafting Petterson, Hughs, Podz, Hogs, Demko and Silovs, I'd say his legacy would be a little above average. if 5/10 is average, I'd say he was 5/10 without the OEL trade. Does that make me an official Benning apologist card carrying member ? I dont know.

Remember how Beauvillier out scored 8.5 million dollar Horvat down the stretch? Ah yes. He played with Petey. So what ? There are plenty of tweeners out there who couldn't be thrown on a top line and produce like a top line player. He has one year left and has no NTC. He ain't a cap dump. But the win-now desperados who think every other teams mid players are better than their own will paint a picture that he is.

We would have to add a 2024 first to Miller and our 2023 first to get Fantilli or Carlsson. And even then , CBJ probably still doesn't do it -

Interesting. So far the Twitter experts analysis of this deal is : "lol Philly fleeced CBJ. Proverov sucks bruh" -

If we are competing next year then I don't see us trading Miller. Unless it is a hockey trade overpay. We aren't likely to get a ppg roster player for Miller. So why trade him ? -

Most trades are all 3 way now. They are a cluster f***. I don't like them. They are harder to judge -
Loungo played 47 NHL games as a 21 year old. Ilya Samsonov got 26 NHL games as a 22 year old. If you have goalies that are legit talents and not just long shots, they should be in earlier than 23 and 24. They are cooking for a couple years longer than they should be. It feels like yesterday that the Demko era began and he's 27 years old already.

I don't know the players involved in these trade proposals. But I like the idea. Whenever you are making a proposal , imagine you are posting it in the HF Board page of the trading team. Would you get laughed out of the joint or not ? If not then you have a serious offer. If you can get just one opposing fan to agree with your trade , then you have a serious offer. Not to over inflate my own tires , but I did that with the Cody Glass/11th oa proposal.
