  1. Benning isn't going anywhere because FA refuses to admit that he made a mistake with his re-tool idea and thinking that Benning could pull it off. STOP GIVING THIS TEAM YOUR MONEY or else we're gonna be forced to watch a capped out team that trades picks/prospects but can't even make the playoffs for many more years

  2. 5 minutes ago, Dazzle said:

    Juolevi was never really given a fair shake.

     

    Remember when Juolevi was scratched after he scored his first NHL game?

     

    Yep. That's Green for you. If you succeed in a role that he designed to make you fail in, you'll be thrown out of the roster.

     

    I thoroughly dislike this guy.

    He had his shot at cracking a weak defence that's paper thin on depth in his D+5 season and blew it. We can't cling on to draft pedigree forever, it just leads to use making dumb moves like holding on to trash players like Gudbranson and Virtanen for way too long.

  3. For those thinking that OEL is going to miraculously bounce back to being a top pairing d at age 30 after declining the last few years, spoilers: he won't. Garland is the real centerpiece we're getting here and can really make or break this trade for us if we can sign him to a good value contract.

  4. Our depth on D is awful, I'm not sure if trading one of our few NHL quality defensemen is good idea unless we somehow get a better dman back. Benning has been absolutely atrocious at signing/trading for defesemen (Sbisa, Gudbranson, MDZ, the list goes on and on) and bringing Schmidt is probably the best that he's been able to do in his tenure for our defense, sadly.

  5. Extremely unfortunate outcome but am I the only one who thinks that Mark Scheifele was actually trying to make a defensive play and not knock him out? I see so many comments saying stuff like oh he scored already and Scheifele only cared about hurting him instead of stopping the goal. The puck went in like 1/10th of second before the hit, he was obviously trying to stop Evans from scoring.
