      @Alain VigneaultTrades happen because of opportunity.  Someone jumps up into the roster unexpectedly, and a team gets an asset for a redundant piece (and save cap).

       

      Saying that the trade "was only possible" is downplaying the significance of what Benning did. He capitalized on the situation and made a lot of Benning whiners here eat crow. Or in some cases, they disappear, until Benning does something wrong.

      What did Benning do exactly?  His due-diligence to check the market like as if other GMs weren't doing the same thing?  Is that how low the bar is for this general manager that he gets praised for doing basic GM things?  He nearly added Barrie for north of 5M which would have been such an odd move.

       

      Yes, it was a good trade and it was shrewd to acquire for the price he did but let's not act like this was a deal he concocted.  Schmidt would have been a Panther if VGK had their way but we can be fortunate that an NTC list blocked that move.  Vancouver had the space, the need, and they were willing to eat 5 years at 5.95M so they got it done.  That's all that happened.

      Idk I think that contract is going to look pretty bad in a couple years. We will see. As of now, not the biggest fan of the trade even if it was just a 3rd.
