I guess all the chatter around the Wild being interested in him finally scared them into giving him a real contract lol

I really like this pick for a project goalie. He's also got a cool name.

His cage was sick though.

Silovs is a tol boy.

Poor guy had to play for Flint.

Thank you <3

We traded our 4th for a later 4th and a 5th. Edit: or maybe 4th and 6th, I don't remember. I am sleepy.

Ah, I see. I'll admit though, I enjoyed Burke's vocal antics yesterday. He was hilarious.

This has honestly been some of the worst draft coverage (including the first round) that I've ever seen. Sportsnet is a national embarrassment.

After the season Utica just suffered through, I don't see it that way lol

I agree. You can't chase a perpetual rebuild forever. If they have confidence in the core of prospects we have and feel this is a good move, then so be it. It could come back to bite us in the backside, but at the end of the day it happened and I hope the risk works out. We also added two really nice prospects this year in the first two rounds. I just want to watch the team playing fun hockey, and having another top six forward who can play now and is only 26 is conducive to that.

Tangible assets are always going to hold more value than draft picks.

I mean, I get that people care. But at the end of the day, it's just sports. Trades you don't like happen, and they're always going to happen regardless of the management group and players involved. It's part of being a fan of a team, what's the point in letting it ruin your day and going into a blind rage? There isn't one. It's a lot more fun to discuss the trade for it's positives and negatives rather than overwhelming upset s---posting. That's not really directed at you either, because I know you know how to talk hockey. It's just part of CDC that I don't like.

I hope so, strap in for the wild ride boys.

I'm not really a Benning fan, but by the reactions in this thread you'd think he personally massacred everyone's dogs and cats.

That's gonna be a yikes from me.

Benning doesn't give CDC posters the tantrum temperament of a toddler who just got told he can't have a bag of chips. That's on y'all.

As is CDC tradition.

That would be one of the funniest conditional clauses I've ever seen.

JT Miller sort of reminds me of a winger version of Horvat in some ways, which is cool. I think he'll fit well in our top six.

I'm remembering why I stopped posting here very much. Even if you dislike something, throwing a fit like a five year old over hockey is the stupidest look. I'm not a huge fan of the trade, but God damn guys.

Conditional makes it acceptable to me. He's a top six forward on a good contract. Would much rather go that route than signing another brutal UFA contract.

The conditional first is a bit iffy though, but idc I like cool players.

Who needs a third rounder when you got Hoglander. Benning is a cool dude.

I'm so stoked. Hoglander is a machine.
