Jock Cousteau Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Personally I am happy we have a GM who is not afraid to take chances and make trades, and who takes it on the chin when it doesn't work out, and is will keep trying until he has built the team the way he wants it. Exciting times ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Canucks always draft one of the best three players in each round. Haven't you followed their drafting record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Benning and for the most part his moved that he's made. but getting Prust and then possibly losing him for nothing doesn't help this club. I know that it takes two to dance. meaning Benning needed another GM who was interested in Prust. but still. can't help but think we lose Prust for absolutely nothing. all we've gained from that trade with Montreal is...well. nothing. they get a fifth from us. cause they traded kass away as well. hmm. A fifth round draft pick for getting rid of a player who doesn't have a future with the club. Had off ice issues that management managed to move to another club. The fifth rounder was basically compensation for please take this problem off our hands. Prust helped trade the salaries. I think it was a fifth round well spent.

bobbyg43 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Oh well good riddence Prust what could have been is just has been. As for Hump year the moves have just started the tumbling all the moves JB makes from here on in will be scrutinized very closely from TDL an Draft day this year. If JB can continue to weed out dead wood that initself is a minor victory or moral I suppose thats the key the moral of the story in with the good out with the bad mojo. It has started looking for christmas bonus on TDL day as he sells sells no more rags back but picks picks picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You usually don't get much for a 5th round pick anyways. We got half a season of Prust, it's not the end of the world. Glad your not a GM, how many great defensemen have come in the 5th round. Much better to have one for a chance to pick a dark horse than not, don't ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_theRyper Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes!!! We can finally sign Raymond back! Lomfao.. Seriously good about time we bit this bullet. Keep bringing in the youth baby. Prust for Kassian... I thought I read it wrong when it said we gave the pick up for extra insentive.. Like wtf. ( comic book guy):" worst trade ever"!

Much better to have one for a chance to pick a dark horse than not, don't ya think? 5th round picks can be lost and regained just as easily. It's really nothing to stress over. We need to start hitting home runs in the 2nd to 4th round before we start worrying about getting dark horses in the 5th. The odds of a 5th rounder being an impact player are so low anyways.
