He took a lot of heat on this pick much like he did with Petey. The reason Benning supporters defend and acknowledge the good he has done is because the haters put 100% of the blame on him while going out of their way to divert any accolades. Haters point to JV and OJ being bad picks proving he sucks, yet the numerous elite gems are all on Judd. The same goes with trades. IMHO only the real Benning haters believe OJ was a bad pick. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Unsurprisingly, Provost gets it while the usual suspects don't. This has always had everything to do with the boot-licking supporters of this management team and not the management themselves My apologies that I don't think the world of my management team because they signed a prospect they have full control over. Then again, this management team did manage to flub Tryamkin, who - according to their own, past comments - was a guy they were very high on using for this team. In that case, maybe I should be grateful they didn't flub this up. Regardless, we can live in a world where we can be happy about a signing and also call out the comments that are meant to dunk on the "haters". That's the real negativity. Hope this helps. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone calling out other posters because of their own invented “home run” narrative is just being ludicrous. We are at least a couple of years before being able to judge the merits of the pick. I don't think so. His presents/play will impact the team immediately. And 9 times out of 10, it will lead to a favorable outcome. It won't take years, it will take one or two games. It's just how he's wired. Fans are excited because he's Russian and even though all signs pointed to him coming over... None of us were silly enough to assume it was a 'slam dunk'. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading a lot of your posts, I wonder; are you happy? I see no evidence of that, in anything you post; and as I suffer from depression I end up with the distinct feeling you do to. Hang in there, it gets better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose people when you speak like you're the authority on things, with statements like: "unsurprisingly, Provost get it while the usual suspects don't". Matters of opinion, not right/wrong here. Also boot lickers is another thing that diminishes your opinion for me. Management didn't "flub" Tryamkin....he made decisions based on what worked for him. And that's ok. Thing is...happiness is very much a choice, even in the darkest times. We can choose to be happy or dwell on things from the past that make us unhappy. Some of us bootlickers just prefer...option A and to face forward rather than staying stuck. Bitter. The future is quite bright if you look at it from the excitement of seeing up and coming players who are exciting to watch. Did you enjoy Hoglander's performance? I did. And, for those of us who watched him recently, Podkolzin showed us that same bright light. We don't have to add footnotes to everything....just enjoy something for what it is without weighing the good against the bad. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Greens going to love this kid, he already plays the right way. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We figured out Hoglander was a top 6 player in less than 10 games. It isn’t going to take 2 years to find out what Podkolzin is all about. We’ll know by end of November next year at the latest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please quote what you were referring to because it seems like you made it up to invent a straw man argument. The comments were that it is better to have a higher chance at a lottery ticket than to win a couple of extra meaningless games where we were already eliminated. A higher pick means a better chance of getting a player you want... pretty simple. Power is probably going to be better than whoever is picked at #9-10, that doesn’t seem complicated or controversial to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good day, signing Podz. If it's a target to draft high picks, it falls under the same line...."hoping for" the future. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quoting anything....people speak of the "higher chance" like it's a given. A home run. But..."these guys have not played in the NHL" either...matters. Apply the same standard there that you do to Podz. If the future's unknown, apply that to everyone...not just the guys we sign/have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall being pleasantly surprised at how well he was doing so soon as I wasn’t sure he would be on the roster last season (back when we all assumed Toffoli was going to be re-signed in that spot). That isn’t a negative take by any stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Quote Well using that logic, your thread is 100% useless. Any player has fairly limitless potential... Hoglander isn’t likely to become a perennial 80 point guy. Not many players do that. Hoglander is a nice find, but he probably isn’t even going to be a Calder finalist... he isn’t an elite guy and has a low likelihood of ever being that. Folks get themselves all worked up overhyping our players and then get disappointed when those players fail to lift up to those... You've already assessed a guy who is showing he has great potential. Predicting the future. Done...too negative....I'm quite happy these days and don't need to engage further with ye of little faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
