Lui's Knob Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 If Benning does what gillis could not which is find a number 1 high minute top pair dman... Who do you get that is young or has the potential? If he follows the boston model, bringing in Chara was their big first step years ago... Do you trade for: Sustr (TB) Myers (BUF who struggled there; new start elsewhere? Bennings connections to buffalo?) Hamilton (boston connection) Gardiner (TOR - don't view him as a top dman) Bfugylien (Winnipeg) Weber (Nashville ; cost a fortune but BC boy) Pouliot (potential trade bait in Pitts) Someone else? Your GM Benning (or whoever they hire)... Who do you pull the trigger on with the assets available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hamilton and Weber are longshots, and I don't want Bfugylien. It's Pouliot, Gardiner or Myers for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sustr is a poor mans hal gill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Easiest way is to get one through the draft. No point in trading for one because you have to give up your whole future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baka Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Easiest way is to get one through the draft. No point in trading for one because you have to give up your whole future. Because it is so easy to just draft a true #1... True #1's don't even exist in each draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Rather just Pouliot, cheaper and could probably get some more than just Pouliot in a Kesler trade. Sustr isn't a potential #1 dman, I'd love to have Dougie Hamilton or Myers aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 ekblad for me to play along side hamhuis. Would love to see us trade up for Ekblad this year. This is our best opportunity for a potential #1 dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks155 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Either: Poliout, Hanifin (2015 draft) or Fleury (2014 draft). It would take the least to get Poliout or we could easily draft the other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inthecup Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If Benning is GM we would have a better shot at Hamilton as he would know what Boston is looking for in terms of trade value to improve the team....we might not have what they need though.

If we hire Benning and he's able to pry Hamilton out of Boston at a reasonable price that would be amazing, and could allow us to trade up and take Reinhart.

FlyLow_ Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If I had it my way we'd move up for Ekblad, then move one of our left side D for Dimitry Orlov. I think Orlov and Gardiner have the same offensive ceiling, but Orlov kills people and doesn't have the inflated "Leaf" value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2inthecup Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 What does Boston have to improve on? Can't argue with that... And the more I think about it they will more than likely groom him to become Characters 2.0 Big Z is 37, with the way he's looking probably still has 5 years left to influence Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I feel as though a new coach (Trotz) might be able to savalge Edler and turn him into a top-10 NHL defenceman, but we really need a top-5 if not top-3 defenceman if we ever want to contend in the playoffs. Victor Hedman was an absolute stud this season, and if Tampa want to shake up their defence core then we should try and grab him by throwing some of our defencemen their way.

Boston has a lot of veteran defenders who are not getting any younger. If anything the Bruins will try to move one or two veteran defenseman like Seidenberg and/or Mcquaid and look for forward prospects/picks in return. Boston has had young defenseman like Hamilton, Krug, Bartkowski and Miller who all had good years. On top of that they have many blue line prospects like Morrow in the wings. Great future at the back end for Boston right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
