Maybe you're not over thinking things...Oh man. If Gudbranson turns out to be an inside job I'm gonna have to revisit chemtrails!

Don't worry.  Florida will have a salary crunch next season because 4 of their top D's will need new contracts (Kulikov, Kindl, Petrovic and Matheson) and Huberdeau as well.  Not to mention Gudbranson who recently re-signed for one year.  They are a budget team and can't keep them all so Rowe picked one to move this year and he may have to pick another next year.  He is also faced with retiring players Campbell, Mitchell and Jagr (some time).  It's a business move but totally necessary.

We got a great player in Gudbranson who hasn't reach his prime yet. Hope he flourishes into one of the best defensive gems in the league. We lost McCann and a 2nd rounder but we don't know whether the player they pick will become better than Gudbranson. Also great leader!

There is also a chance that the best player in this deal is the one benning drafts in the 5th round.

Stay classy AP.

Any word on the validity of this? Anybody know anything about this Igor guy? I'm skeptical here

McCann always seemed a little intense, played with a big chip on his shoulder. I sensed when he was drafted that he felt he should've been picked higher, maybe drafted by a better team, etc. Maybe he's a bit of a primadonna and Benning will have none of that. This is also why we won't get Drouin.

All of a sudden he's an entitled brat.  Ok.  Nobody minded Kesler's attitude when he was here and that's what I saw in McCann, Kesler 2.0.  Pedan is looking like a 7th Dman at best so he should keep his mouth shut.

Pedan is 22. He's far from a finished product FWIW. Still easily projects to be a 5/6 guy in his prime IMO.

If this is true, it makes sense. Benning seems to have a zero tolerance policy for complainers or guys that aren't making a full effort. Oh you have a problem? Hows Utica or a trade sound? Works for me.

Except Daniel and Henrik whined and everyone not named Horvat, Hutton or Tanev dogged it at some point this season.  So it doesn't work if you only go after the youngings.
