For all you Benning supporters...

For those of you who still support this disaster...ask your self this.

 

Of Bennings signings...how many would be claimed if placed on waivers at the start of season (ie full salary needs to be paid)

 

Linden Vey @ 1M.......already cleared

Yannick Weber...........already cleared

 

Ryan Miller 6M.............wouldn't be claimed

Derek Dorsett  2.5.......wouldn't be claimed

Radim Vrabata.............highly doubt it at 5 M/yr

Brandon Sutter............doubt it at 4.5/yr

Luca Sbisa @ 3.5 .......highly doubt it,

 

So not only would he be unable to trade any of his signings....he couldn't give them away for free...asking nothing in return...LOL

 

And some of you still support his buffoonery.

 

 He has made us the laughing stock of the league..

 

His scouting may be okay....but his GM abilities are atrocious.

I had to get the rep in and compliment you before the thread gets closed.  BEST THREAD IN SOME TIME!  finally, and poster who starts a meaningful, and insightful thread, instead of the continues fluff.  Well Done!  Super good and accurate!!!:)

Might I add he keeps trading away PICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We are rebuilding and need those PICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't care if it's only a fifth, but why give that up so the Habs will take Kassian, and we take Prust?  Just put Kassian on Waivers!  God!  Stupid!

Yes, I agree with your valuation, in case it was hard to figure out.:lol:

Kassian cleared waivers.  Benning didn't want him near the kids so that would have been a problem.

 

 He's been a complete idiot this season but that trade was addition by subtraction.

They're called transition players for a reason.

 

Only Sutter is part of the next core. The rest are short term bandaid's to get us to our next core, while trying to stay competitive.

 

Not saying he's shown any great trading skills, but given the lack of talent and cap space, did you expect him to go out and sign quality players to long term contracts while trying to rebuild. You generally get what you pay for.

So this appears to be purely conjecture on your part. Can you kindly share your hockey background with us?

 

I really question anyone Alflives agrees with.

That's exactly the issue!  We don't want to be competitive for just a bloody playoff spot.  We need to draft top three, get elite talent, and then surround that core with these types of players.  JB's plan gets us to the middle, not to the Cup.  IT'S A LOSER'S PLAN

It's unreasonable for me to expect the same level of credibility as someone who offers up such a well researched and supported opposing view.

I don't disagree Alf.

 

But I'm answering the question in the OP of how many players would be claimed off waivers. Since JB replaced the cap space we'd opened up a couple of years ago with the short term high dollar contracts of a couple of players, he again had to go bargain bin hunting to round out his roster. The question in the OP is pointless. Of course most of our bargain bin players might not be claimed. But so what. They're bandaids.

Oh.  Alf is not the brightest of the family.  :lol:
