You think Benning doesn’t suck at his job yet he’s also gonna lose kole Lind for nothing 

dude, every team is losing a player.

 

Is it Benning's fault that there's an expansion draft? Please stop.

He sucks because he lost a B prospect while other teams are losing top 4 D and top 6 forwards?

 

Okay then…

I don't blame Benning for losing Lind but this is a bit disingenuous lol.

 

We're not losing a good player because we suck.

No we just don’t have the depth.

 

Our protected list is all good players. The difference between us and good teams is we haven’t built up our depth yet.

Schmidt + 9OA for Rhino and Risto?  We will all quickly forget about that Edmonton guy who went to Seattle.  

My first thought after reading this is Benning will wait and see how Seattle finishes off the day, before any knee jerk reactions

 

Sure I could see Benning responding to this somehow, but I think Benning had this mostly figured out

 

Seattle was going to get some good players from some teams, regardless of who from where

 

The day is young........

 

And there will still be alot of players left out there

 

You put OEL and Savard/Hamilton/Jones into our defense, and it shapes up pretty nice

 

We can't be worried about what Seattle does

 

We have to worry about ourselves

If it makes anyone feel better, the Oilers HF board has like 35 pages in 2 hours over this. They're not happy.

Yes, yes it does. Thanks!

 

Also, one little tidbit but those jerk krakens kind of helped us out indirectly. If the Stars knew that was going to be their pick they never would have traded us Dickinson. So there is a little win there.

In other words...

Doesn’t mean we suck.

 

Most of the “depth” these teams are giving up are average players or overpaid washed up players.

 

The Canucks are only a few pieces away from being good.

Doesn't Washington have a similar ludicrously low tax rate to Florida ? I believe i read that somewhere. If so probably explains this and a lot of other steals to come. 

Honestly can't believe that both us and EDM wouldn't have gone upto 4.5 for this guy. So possibly the tax break and the lack of absolutely terrible local media must be a thing. Either that or both teams are looking elsewhere...

So are a lot of other teams. Don't you think the fans of like every other middling team is telling themselves that they'd be good if they just added 1 or 2 more top-4 D-men or top-6 forwards? It means nothing.

 

Lack of depth = bad.

 

If we were good (aka had depth) we'd be losing a top-6 forward like Tampa.

 

Look at the standings, look at the stats, look at the facts.

 

I'm not breaking news here by telling you we're bad.

Chill out folks, it's not that bad

 

 

And I don’t think people are realizing (willingly or not) how much of an improvement Brad Shaw will make on his own.
