EagleShield Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's irritating because it looked like a bad trade at the time and if we wanted Clendenning that badly, we surely could have offered Sbisa instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Suck it up wet eyes... Is the Forsling / Clendening trade going to be the next Shinkaruk / Granlund... Since Granlund sent the Shinkaruk whiners out the window, are they searching for another Benning move to complain about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at the time of the draft, had we still had forsling, would we have been so confident in his potential as to not draft juolevI? I mean we wouldnt have had sutter so maybe we would have gone the C route and taken logan brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 He may never develop into anything special, but after is World Jr performance after just being drafted we should have kept this guy to see if he could pan out and become something...I mean D take a bit of time anyway and for him to make the NHL already is very impressive. This was severely poor asset management by Benning. I dont care what people say he rushed a move for the sake of trying to add a D man. The skillset Forsling has is something we should have kept around and developed. Heck we keep Subban around why couldnt we have kept a slightly bigger left handed version of him also? I did not like this trade when it happened, it seems very foolish to draft players see them make a mark in a marquee tournament of make the NHL at 19 like McCann and then off load these promising YOUNG assets before ever really giving them a chance. Best of luck Gustav!! Could help out the Hawks 2nd PP unit if you can stick with the big club. I hope he is still in the line up when we play them!

Jägermeister Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Forsling making the team hasn't really changed much in regards to how bad of a trade this was. We got burned. Clendening was a bust, the writing was on the wall for him pretty much as soon as he got here. He really brought nothing to the table. At least we managed to get some value back for him by including him as a throw in on the Sutter deal (because he was nothing more than a throw in). You win some you lose some. And we lost this one.

nickels Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 FWIW Forsling had a very poor game and looked very over matched last nite against the big physical StL forwards. Was constantly being out battled at was pointed out numerous times by the announcers for his poor play. Will start the season in the press box as extra skater (at best) or after last nite, could still be sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Clendening hasn't been cut from the Rangers so far and many of their fans think he will make the team. He's had a terrific pre-season; showing his great speed and offensive skills. How often do people report a young d as a bust, only to see that (with time) they develop into an NHL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna sign here but Forsling Just like Justin schultz did right? The goal is to make the NHL first and foremost, playing with you're home team is just an added bonus.

pluralsight Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Good for the Hawks on winning this deal. But having Hutton, and potentially Stetcher and Juolevi on the team in the next couple of years make Forsling redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha yes, having too many of the most valuable asset in hockey is quite the burden. Way to look ahead JB, that would have been horrible to deal with, potential disaster avoided. 23 minutes ago, ForsbergTheGreat said: Just like Justin schultz did right?

Let's say stecher doesn't sign, oh well. We drafted a stud in the 5th round and held onto him like a good management should. I'm sure glad we didn't take the bait on that Clendening deal a while back. Man oh man would we have looked stupid on that one. *high fives Linden. My god do I draft good. Maybe I should acquire more picks rather than giving them away for fringe NHLers fixing to become waiver eligible or RFAs. Maybe I should be the guy on the other sides of those trades when I build a surplus of assets from my great drafting and most importantly abundant picks. I mean really, what is the rush? Patience paid off with Forsling, why wouldn't that happen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
