When we make the playoffs next year Benning gets a four year extension? These hockey guys want to have the best possible reputation, so they can get another job. If they make changes that others perceive as in their personal interest ahead of the team’s best interest, they will not get another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays like he has and becomes a good teammate well we might have struck gold without giving up any assets edit: wouldnt he be the perfect person for the sedins to mentor? Isnt this one of the main reasons they were hired? are the Sedins the most over-rated mentors since Sickie Wifebeater https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentors_(band) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 1 hour ago, DefCon1 said: A good player might fetch even a high 1st this year. So teams like TB and NYI that have many good players exposed to Seattle will definitely try to offload the best player exposed for high picks and prospects. This is where Jim Benning will take advantage of ED, similar to how he got JT Miller. I trust Benning in these type of situations because he usually makes out like a bandit Jim traded for Miller, Schmidt, Pearson, Sutter, Leivo, Toffoli, Motte, Spooner, Gudbranson, Bonino, Prust, Dorsett, Baertschi. Vey How do you get usually or bandit out of that group? Miller and Schmidt are the only 2 that even remotely meet this criterion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think if he was Minnesota would be protecting him from the expansion draft. Yeah, seems to be hyped up a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had a season like Calgary with the offseason they had, you might be right or Green will be replaced by Shaw. JB better not make the same cap mismanagements again.

Personally I love those guys and hope we move towards that style. You absolutely need a couple of big guys willing to clear the crease like Myers, although I wish he was meaner. Can't coach size. So annoyed that tryamkin didn't back himself and come over here to see if he has what it takes to be an nhler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Stamkos Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I wonder if Chicago would be interested in a Holtby for Zadorov deal? Gives Chicago an upgrade in net on a short term contract and would work cap wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Players like Cole Caufield are why you use the 9th pick. Next year we will see Podkolzin and smile. This kid has star written all over him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to be patient for one more year. What's in the mentality of LE Almost seems like spite for him to stick around instead of retiring. Those contracts aren't tradable imo Louie lost millions on a restaurant chain a couple years ago, I forget the exact details but he's probably happy to collect every dime of this contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think a lot will happen over the off season. Once the Cup is awarded, things will ramp up, with the expansion draft, etc. I hope Benning can keep the #9 and improve the team now. He's going to have to overhaul the Bottom 6 and D. Podkolzin will be nice to add to the lineup, to replace Virtanen. My guess is the owners are on-board with the plan and there will be a couple of buyouts. Eriksson and Virtanen? What happens with Ferland? And Beagle? It sounds like they may want to use Miller as a C to have 3 scoring lines, possibly moving Bo to C the 3rd line? Hoglander - Pettersson - Boeser ?? - Miller - Podkolzin Pearson - Horvat - ?? Motte - Highmore - MacEwen Roussel I like Hamonic and hope they re-sign him, but I would prefer they bring in a better partner for Hughes as well. And if they re-sign Edler, it better be cheap. Hughes - ?? Schmidt - Myers Juolevi - Hamonic Edler Rathbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes there's only room for 2 players from these 3 Schmidt, Rathbone & Juolevi. I believe Schmidt will have a bounce back year. Always tough for any player coming in to a new team. He'll be much better this year. Rathbone is just better than Juolevi now. Adding 2 guys you mentioned above is exactly what this team needs. I don't see a spot for Juolevi for next season on this team. Can never have enough defensemen, OJ will get ice time. We always have injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
