Kesler could have just as easily said no straight up. More over it was just noting that Benning has experience working with players who have no trades so not moving Tanev before his kicks isn't the end of the world. Overall, I don't want to overpay for the 3OA. Tanev is a valuable assest and should be fine to get that 3OA. He also fixes an area of concern for them and really helps their team. That can't be ignored either. Kesler was never asked to waive it, he asked to be traded and then gave Benning his long list of teams he'd go to which included Anaheim and, well Anaheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was a stud, I said I wouldnt trade him and a second for Gudbranson. Major difference. Just because you have Guddys poster on your wall doesn't mean you have to be so sensitive.

Insert Garrison or Bieksa instead. Point was that Benning has experience working with players with no trade clauses. I think he did well getting what he did out of Anaheim.

Often Benning gets hammered for his trades but he did some great work with Garrison and Kesler, and Bieksa was a decent return too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksterh8 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict they trade for 1st overall and take Nico Hischier and at 5th Cale Makar. It is written, It shall be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second line centre, maybe first, versus top-pairing dman who is on the offensive side? I guess it's the whole debate of drafting, it's all about potential. However, the more I hear it the more I'm starting to side with taking Makar if he's there at 5. The kid has a whole lot of potential and fills a major need. Other need is a number one centre, if Horvat isn't that, but I don't think that's there in this draft at 5. Ah, I'll just have to wait until the 23! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baertschi was a killer pick up and Granlund was too but he's sure made some super questionable moves as well. Sometimes I just scratch my head in disbelief. I really don't like all the mixed messages him and trevor have sent to the fanbase, they must think the heavy majority of us are dumb. But you gotta give him props for the good moves he's made, and he's definitely made more than a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave that mixed signal, rebuild? no? make the playoffs? huh? Yes, he has. You read some posts on here and he is the most incompetent GM out there but really he's done some great work.

He definitely has but all in all I'm not a fan of his. I don't think he should be lynched but I think he needs to figure out what direction the team is headed and go with it, and that direction needs to be rebuild haha. Not moving Hamhuis or Vrbata a couple years ago really hurt. I just don't like the asset management. I love Tanev but he needs to go and it needs to be for futures. Picks and prospects is what we need above all else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhuis was being difficult about his ntc and vrbata just sucked no competing team wanted him especially for an asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
