Ted Lasso Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Benning has been consistently forthright in his intentions with our team. In yesterdays press release, he confirmed he wants one more player, described as: "a winger that has some grit and size to him, that can score." who "has some skill...can play with good players, but has a little ruggedness to him." He also confirmed that he will seek this player via trade, and is willing to spend to the cap. Considering we were reportedly in the mix for guys like Brouwer (who fits this description), it's safe to assume that JB will consider players in their 30's. Based on this description, and other teams' needs, can we compile a shortlist of his potential targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Larson trade for Hall, does this seem fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, unfairly or not, Tanev doesn't have the same pedegree as the high 1st round pick in Larsen. I doubt Colorado even considers that trade.

Tanev is a better shut down guy than Larson though, so maybe he's worth Ladescog in the current market? I really think Tanev is an exceptionally good player, and don't want to see him traded unless the return is a younger top line winger - exactly like JB described.

I would like to keep our 2nd this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause his play on the ice really isn't that great other than the 2011-12 and 12-13 seasons. Not to mention the apparent off-ice issues and his overwhelming ego.

Hard pass on Evander Kane, he's cancer in the dressing room. That will only cause more problems than solve. Landeskog would certainly be a player to look into.

Considering the Larson trade for Hall, does this seem fair? I would be surprised that they are looking to trade him. The problem with Colorado is that they have limited spending and if they bring in young players then there's the risk of arbitration - re Barrie likely heading that way as well as RoR. Landeskog is signed for the next 5 years. I could see them wanting to move Iginla though - it's his last year. He has an NMC but Colorado is unlikely to go anywhere this year. They also talked of wanting to bring in their young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane must be EXTREMELY selfish for Buff to do that. Would Buff's reaction to Kane's (seeming to care about his teammate's) indicate Kane's interest in his mates is a facade?

I am more worried about what assets will be given up than the target. I would like to keep our 2nd this year. I would like us to collect more seconds and thirds. I read that Landescog was available. If we are going to trade young assets and (or) picks, I would hope JB returns a top line forward who is 24 or younger. JB stated he LOVES Tanev, so I doubt he trades him. At the recent WHC Tanev was not on the ice for a 5 on 5 goal against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've liked him too but I don't think they could justify having both him and Dorsett on contracts like that. He might've preferred to go "home" to Toronto too. 2 minutes ago, Alflives said: Holy crap! Kane must be EXTREMELY selfish for Buff to do that.

I think he was trying to save a little face. @Monty would probably be the best person to ask about this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
