24K PureCool Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I blame Aquaman for this. You never leave a GM on his last year of his contract without an extension in place making deals. This is what happens when a GM is without a contract past this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ronning4center Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 Guys relax. Over 6' over 200lbs with an edge who can score 50 points ...in his prime locked up for less than 6 mill. This is absolutely a good deal for us. We kept Virt and we kept our second rounder this year. Do you guys want to suck and rebuild for ever? 2 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 We're talking about J.T Miller giving up a 3rd and a 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I like it. If you can get a 60-70 point player in a first round pick, then you’re an incredible drafter. Benning knows what he’s doing. He’ll either play with Petey on the top line or centre the third line. I’m excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard work is great... if I was being paid 5 million dollars a year I would work hard too but if Jim traded a first round pick for me he should be fired automatically.

Ray_Cathode Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Benning better do something about our defence because it is a big reason we are in the lottery zone, if not we could be giving up a lot in 2021 - a year where we can only protect 3 defencemen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 5 minutes ago, 18W-40C-6W said: Bro, we're making the playoffs in 2021 - look at our group, add in Tryamkin, Juolevi, Podkolzin, and whomever we sign on D as ufas. come on. This trade shows JB has confidence that the moves he's making is getting us back in THIS year alone You know we will be eating a hefty recapture penalty for Luongo's contract soon. Giving up a first, that could potentially be a lottery pick in 2021 is a big no no. If both years were protected, I wouldn't feel as sh*tty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18W-40C-6W Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 1 minute ago, CanuckGAME said: Yes. A 1st is far too expensive. Look at the guys we've gotten in the 1st round the past few seasons. We just gave up adding another piece in next year or the year afters draft. When the draft is your strength and you trade your #1 chip that's just ugly. I do like Miller, but maybe using that 1st for a Dman would have been a better way to spend that currency. Fair arguments but I am assuming JB has got the green light to go hard at top UFA's this year from Aqua man. Maybe he's going all in on AP and UFA dmen? What happens if he pulls that off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I just wanted one thing, a quiet draft. I hope this turns into an Ottawa situation so we can dump Benning in at least two years. That's enough time to salvage this cores window. Awful, awful trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa doing cartwheels. We help them with their cap crunch AND send a conditional first rounder. Thank you slum lord. Hope your two home playoff dates in the first round in the next couple of years are worth the extra years you continue to add to the rebuild. You sound envious and bitter.

boziffous Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 1 minute ago, Warhippy said: Kevin Hayes just signed for over $7 million and has never broken 50 points. People desperately wanted Hayes before he got traded. We just got a 50+ point winger centre hybrid under contract for 4 more years at $5.25 million meaning Sutter is as good as gone. In 2 years that will be the 19th overall pick and people will still be unhappy. Hayes actually got 54 points last season. Still too much money for Hayes though.

billabong Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I’m ok with trading a 1st conditions or not for next year but make it a top 4 dman. Not a good 2nd line player. I like Miller but this is a bit much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 2 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: Guys, its not "not ready to be good". Its not a misunderstanding that you have to give to get. We are the 2nd worst team in the NHL last 4 years combined. This is not the time to be trading away a 1st round pick for a 2nd line player. Especially when the team your trading with is cash strapped & need to move him contract anyways! Honestly, I don’t like a first being added as well but it’s been 5 years in the tank and we have some pretty nice pieces ready to roll into the lineup. It’s time to can the “we’re still rebuilding” line of thinking. JB obviously going to make some moves to bolster the D heading into this season. Miller is a strong player and a full season of Pearson along with Bo, Brock and Pettersson that’s a playoff caliber top 6. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
