bluesman60 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Benning obviously wants the cap savings to spend! Stastny!!!!! Or to move up in the draft. Extra incentive if you trade up and part of the deal is taking on a contract from the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitriptyline Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Excellent news. We're finally rid of this goofball, crossbow hunting, bear/goat killing, injury prone, weirdo, Jesus freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Step 1: compliance buyout of Booth (frees cap space) Step 2: hire Todd Reirden as our new assistant coach (Rutherford has given the Pens' current assistants the green light to interview with other teams) Step 3: sign UFA Matt Niskanen (who credits Reirden for "saving his career" and who's said that coaching will be a bigger factor than money in deciding where he signs) (or maybe serious?)

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Here's hoping our pro-scouting has learned from this and we don't trade for another overpaid, underperforming, post-concussion case with animal killing and religious psychobabbling tendencies. I welcomed the Booth trade with open arms though. Based on improvement potential. But for him to have worked out he would've needed to become a 1st LW, which was a spot taken by D. Sedin. Impossible. So i guess we're all learning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People of faith shouldn't be painted with the same brush, however some people of any faith keep waiting to be "guided by God" and therefore may neglect the things they should be working on.

I live six months of each year on Bali where religion is everything for near everyone-Hindus ,Moslems and Christians.It's just a part of their lives.I am sure each individual takes their faith differently-if at all. Christianity is the basis of the legal structure of this land and this country was far more God oriented before the 60's came and went.I am not religious but he may be a better player because of his faith.I have no idea how to tell. Are you suggesting he should be working on something he neglected? I don't get it as he can do as he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 What was it 10 goals in 78 games? Woke up to some good news today!

Warhippy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes please! If we could obtain him id be more secure losing Tanev or it could signal a potential ask for one of our other d core to waive that NTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 so how long before Booth wins a cup with another team after leaving here like so many other guys do? Isn't Mitchel the only one in recent history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Speaking of which how does Daniel Sedin, 34 when next season starts, look for four more years at 7 million? Speaking of which how does Daniel Sedin, 34 when next season starts, look for four more years at 7 million? Looks fine to me, the Sedins started off the year as good as anyone and then, like everyone else, the second half of the year was terrible. I am not concerned about the Sedins at all. The difference between Burrows and the Sedins is that Burrows is a nobody without the Sedins. I would be fine with the Burrows contract if it didn't have a NTC but it does which makes it an awful contract. Just imagine if we could of traded Burrows and got an actual first or second line player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I actually feel sorry for Booth. However he never understood the "team" part of the game. Until this last season I always thought he played like he was the only Canuck on the ice. No player can legislate for serious injuries and he had a few. He was being paid far too much for his skill set imo. He was never more than 3rd line material and for that he was overpaid. I think he was a bad deal for us and we could have done better at $2.5-3M Good luck to David in the future I hope he proves me wrong with another team.
