Philly claimed McKenna? Well, that kind of backfired Jimmy. So, Benning traded Nilsson and Archibald for Pyatt (AHL) and a 6th rounder? Yikes.

The trade was never about McKenna. Having him picked up is a shame since he seems like a good locker room guy, but is not a big deal. We can sign a goalie for Utica or wait till someone goes on waivers and use one of our 3 Kalamazoo goalies.

 

The trade was about turning Anders into a profit and calling up Demko to back up the big boys. I don't know enough about Pyatt currently, but he has been a solid player in the last. Benning succeeded in both accounts. While The waiver pick up is a shame, it doesn't really change the fact Benning nothing into something. Still another win for Benning.

I guess Benning got rid of a potential goalie controversy, has cleared the way for Demko, but only getting back a 6th round pick for Nilsson, who won Gold with Sweden? I know he struggled lately, but I think OTT won this trade. Great that Demko is now a Canuck though, excited to see him play.

3-8-1  0.895 save %   3.09 GAA  for a 6th round pick in a 7 round draft. 

 

Not even sure those stats are worth a 7th round pick.

 

 

Dorian sure fleeced GMJB

Time will tell. If Nilsson has any success in OTT, then it's hard to argue.

No ones actually upset McKenna got claimed are they.lol. 

Get revenge on philly lol we did they took McKenna. 

 

We we got a 6th for a career ahler And a back up goaltender on an expiring contract and we needed to make room for the future, Demko.

 

to bad we had to take Pyatt to, 

 

Utica goaltending might be an issue however . I thought I read that Bachman was done for the season..
