True but could rotate him in and out of all 3 lines really. QH Schmidt could be interesting given more time to practice together (none last year for anyone) but I’m still hoping for significant upgrades.
Yes and graves was top pairing with makar I also think graves Myers pairing might work

That’s not all that bad and I appreciate what you’re proposing. I think that D is still a little thin myself, but your numbers seem to work out and adds solid depth to the F group. Not bad, man.
When you post like this it’s totally constructive and shows the depth behind the criticism. Like I said, much appreciated.But yes I’ll give Benning the benefit of the doubt it’s still early for him

Please put together how and what you’d propose should have happened, and try to do so sequentially.
Please address all info including cap, buyout penalties if any, salary structure, list of who you would have made eligible for the ED, and if necessary who you would have to trade out and to whom and for what.
Because truthfully, there are posters here who are doing just that and making valid points both for and against Benning’s moves.
You are rambling on without inclusion of any specific detail that would go into and be involved in adjusting this roster in a real-time, real world aspect.
Please indulge us and quote facts. It would be incredibly helpful as an educational tool for anyone to try and understand your rationale.
I trade 2nd lind for graves I trade 4th for Appleton expose Schmidt dare them to take that cap or holtby which was proven they don’t want contract with term instead they elect for macewen
Our d after expansion

If we trade Lind, they take Mac or Gadj. Every team loses a player. Does your brain not get that?
Or we have a graves leddy on our d corp so losing mac or gadj hurts less this team and players all want to win they don’t want another year
of being in bottom picking top 10 waiting 4 years for prospects

Huge blunder. 30 other GMs are all failures as well because they passed on trading for the rights to the same players you mentioned. Go figure.
30 other gms don’t have gm who’s failed to make hockey trades like this and put there team in cap he’ll and have missed playoffs constantly

Graves or Leddy?
Olesiak or Larsson he coulda sacrificed a 7th to get negotiating rights first and giving up 3rd for 4th liner Dickson and not Appleton is gonna be another huge blunder for Benning

Graves was traded to New Jersey. Did Benning inquire with the Devils what it would take to trade for him? Who knows?
Leddy is with Detroit. Benning might have inquired.
Oleksiak and Larsson were poached by Seattle. Due to the expansion draft, only Seattle had first Krak. Benning would be crucified to trade for either player, considering that they were heading to free agency in 7 days. We'll see what unfolds.
Either of these guys we could of traded for a 7th similar to Goodrow trade

Which four D?
I'm not going to get worried. It doesn't serve any purpose. Still a week before free agency. Lots of time.
Graves leddy olesiak Larsson those our 4 d that woulda fit in perfectly with guys we have

Just now, PhillipBlunt said:
Key words: The offseason is early. There's plenty of time for things to get done. I'm thinking Benning knows that there is a lot of pressure on him and how things play out will affect his future with the club.
Well he’s got a lot of work to do he’s missed out on 4 great d that woulda fit our roster has cleared zero cap and lost one of our better prospects for nothing you’d be crazy not to be little worried

Do you realize that only Seattle could talk to potential free agents ahead of the 28th?
So he could not say trade Lind or 7th round pick to get rights first the offseason is early so far it’s looking disappointing there’s no way he can go into season with same d corps and a lot good options are off books
-
He’s a wildcard as is Johnson if mac t or Clarke are off board I’m taking calls on the pick and trading down and getting assists and selecting ceulemans or lambos

Other NHL GMs to Benning: “oh you’re likely going to leave a waiver wire prospect eligible for the expansion draft, but we can give you a draft pick or two so we can lose him ourselves to either ED or waivers?? Even though we have our own dead weight we could get rid of? Oh and you want us to take Holtby too and his contract even though we’re almost at cap ourselves? And if one of them isn’t selected we have to figure that $&!? out on how to resolve the roster space and cap dollars??? WOW! Thanks Jimmy!! What a steal of a deal!! Here have a 2nd round pick for complicating things for us and making your own life easier.”
I bet the phone’s been ringing off the hook from GMs just begging for this deal, so much so that Jim and his assistants can’t even keep up…
C’mon man.
You really gonna let him off hook 4 great defensive d we needed gone has cleared zero cap and traded a 3rd for 4th line centre and lost one of our top 5 prospects come on man

And you know he didn’t already try to do that?
I don’t know how highly teams view Lind. Right now he’s an unproven prospect that requires waivers next season.
It’s not like many trades were going down anyways. Did you want us to trade for Duncan Keith?No but a lot good guys in the expansion I’m sure Lind and 2nd for experienced bigger d was available so he’s lost Lind for nothing now has got 2 favourable defencemen d off board in oleksiak and Larsson and missed out on another 2 in graves and leddy not looking like a good offseason at all for him right now

He sucks because he lost a B prospect while other teams are losing top 4 D and top 6 forwards?
Okay then…
No he sucks cause his assist management is awful he could of easily flipped Lind and 2nd or 3rd for anything now he lost probably one of our best prospects for nothing

You think Benning doesn’t suck at his job yet he’s also gonna lose kole Lind for nothing
-
Garland Oe 35 percent retained for Schmidt Loui 2021 2nd let’s go Benning

Schmidt 5.9 Larsson 5.75
Hughes 6 Hamonic 4
Rath 900 k Myers 6 mil

Wow! 6 cans short of a 6 pack i see!!
You do understand that it takes 2 teams to make a deal and that any deal has to make sense! Maybe some teams don't want to make a deal. Maybe said deal doesn't make sense! Just because you want something (a trade etc) to happen, doesn't mean it just happens with a snap of the fingers. But, blame Benning! It's what you haters do!! The ignorance on here by some sometimes is unreal.
Ya it takes 2 but what trades has he made or won since being gm jt Miller that is plus every signing he has made has almost been awful he agreed this team is close to contending and best he could do is 4th line centre from all guys left unprotected ontop of that he’s gonna probably lose one of our better prospects for nothing wake up he isn’t capable gm but a great scout

There will be better prospects left exposed than Lind.
Holtby is Seattle’s best value from us, but it depends how quickly they wanna be a contender.
So they take Lind we are now stuck with holtby n Schmidt’s cap and got nothing out of good prospect for chesp
