-Moose Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Do we have a rookie 3rd pairing or do we spread the vets throughout the lineup and have a rookie playing in the Top 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pietrangelo is much bigger than Schmidt and produce up to 20 points more. This is more of a desperate move by Benning in my view. He had to do something... I had waited til we could get one of the best. I hope Schmidt prove me wrong though. Crumbs? WTF? A top 4, well balanced dman for a 3rd round pick at roughly 1-2 million below market value for the next 5 yrs and you hope he proves you wrong 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 30 yrs old and hes going to eat up 6 mill of our cap until ges 36. Im a big believer in Benning, but this was a brutal. How do you justify not signing Tanev now? I honestly don't know how you can view this as a bad move. Open your eyes... We traded a 3rd round pick in the 2022 draft, for one of Vegas' top pairing Dmen, and you have a problem with this. Good lord.... 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win more games Anyone who can’t understand why Schmidt is worth 6 mil while Tanev is worth 4.5 doesn’t really know hockey that well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing Vegas drafted crappy top 4 D men then. And Calgary. And St. Louis. Nope, none of those teams drafted good D men at all.... you say some of the most ignorant stuff ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingofsurrey, EddieVedder, and Timrafan. All they wanna do is crap on Benning cause he’s getting too much praise for their liking. I’m guessing they wanted us to acquire Ekblad for Virtanen and a pick or something ridiculous. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Huge robbery. I would have made the deal even if it's a 1st + average prospect. Very good job on Benning for pulling this off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 6 minutes ago, Wilbur said: He'll still be 33 when the contract is done (if I did the math correctly looking at Capfriendly). Most people liked the Edler signing at 6 million and he'll be 35 once his contract expires Edlers was a better player and the heart and soul of our d. I understand fans on these boards get excited seeing new players on the team but having a 4th dman eat up 6 mill of our cap is going to handcuff us for years down the road. Benning panicked. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 1 minute ago, Devron44 said: Now this is hilarious Well, I'm sure they were happy to unload the contract as they had to get rid of something before making the Pietrangelo signing official. Seriously though, Schmidt isn't crumbs and I doubt this would've been the first contract Vegas would have like to have traded away especially for such a little return. But, that's what happens when all the NHL teams know you need to shed cap. Not going to shed a tear for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So does Rafferty slot in then, or do we add a defensive bottom D on the right side? I'm thinking we need a trade in the AHL 2 way contract to plan for injury? I'm not sure who, but I can feel that trade coming soon. Oh, and for those not recognizing this as a smart fleecing... it's not even next years 3rd pick, it's the year after that! Vegas had to unload the contract with no salary retention, and we were probably the only team that offered that with just a pick going the other way.
