Convienent to forget that we got Gudbranson in the first place with a 24th pick prospect who is budding into a 2nd line player, a 2nd round and 4th round pick. And Pearson is far, far away from top six on any decent enough team, may be only in your eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading away fringe NHL'ers for pretty good prospects - I'll admit Goldobin was kinda one but thats it Hansen for Goldobin (as you've mentioned) Burrows for Dahlen Vanek for Motte With that said, Devin Shore is a pretty proven bottom 6 player who's only 26. Milano has pretty much identical numbers to Goldobin at the same age. I'd argue that Milano is almost more of a "fringe" NHLer than Shore is (considering Shore has played more than double the NHL games than Milano and only 2 years older). Anahiem is at the stage where they can take the risk of a project prospect and hope to turn them into something while giving up a useful player to a team that is looking for one. Benning made those moves as shown above when we were at that same stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann is nothing more than a decent-good 3C so can we please stop hyping him? Pearson has scored at least fifteen goals five times while providing steady two-way play, those are top six numbers on most teams so I’m not sure why you think he isn’t good enough to be a top six. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but also we got Rathbone with the Hanson trade(conditional 4th round pick) Goldy might be gone but we have a JackBone in the pipeline.

Rathbone was taken with our own 4th. The one we acquired, we traded to Chicago to gain a 5th and 6th round picks which turned into Gunnarsson and Palmu. None worked out, but it demonstrates that we did make the trades in which that poster believed that Benning wasn't making. Ignoring facts for their argument. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Pearson is far, far away from top six on any decent enough team, may be only in your eyes. Pearson 21 goals 45 points McCann 14 goals 35 points. How is Pearson not a top 6 but McCann a budding second line forward? Pearson is a 2nd line winger and McCann is a middle 6 C/LW. Pearson slots into the 2nd line, McCann is more of a 7th forward who is a good fit to move into the top 6 when there is an injury. Now the Gudbranson grade was horrible. Absolutely disgusting. I hated it at the time and that was when I thought Gudbranson was actually decent (like Willie Mitchell level 2nd pairing). To make matters worse I heard we had DeBrincat ranked in the first round so chances are if that trade doesn’t happen we keep McCann, draft DeBrincat. Benning pulled out a Miracle not only dropping Gudbranson for Pearson (loved the trade even though Pearson was at his all time low) but for Pearson to turn around and become a 25 goal 50+ point player is a huge win. McCann + an early second for Pearson now wouldn’t be a terrible trade for a team looking to win. McCann actually progressed exactly where I expected him to but if he was a 75 point player this would have really hurt. keep in mind we also tossed Madden in with a 2nd for a 2nd line UFA in Tyler Toffoli. Madden probably has more upside than McCann so that deal has potential to be so much worse. In a perfect world Toffoli is a great fit, we go deep in that playoffs, and he resigns. Otherwise we need Madden to bust hard. So far we avoided the absolute worst case scenario (flat out missing the playoffs).

Not saying he is a bad player but look at his EN goals What I take from this is that these guys are the ones trusted to defend a lead under the pressure of the opposition throwing everything they can to tie the game and they are closing games out by finishing it with the EN goals. Yes they are the "easy" goals, but there was a time when we couldn't bury them if our lives depended on it and often games would get tied up bringing it to OT which adds more mileage to the team over the year win or lose. So I don't look at the EN stats as a negative towards their productions, it's simply a reward for their hard work. McCann is likely not trusted in this situation.

Funny how the anti Benning crew doesn’t like it when their narratives get busted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
