Benning said during the middle of last season the team was 2 years away from competing. Why give up your future to get a player who is probably past his prime and unloading contacts when it would be off loaded after the 2021 / 2022 season anyways. Why do this when your window isn't even this season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The other part of this trade will be interesting to keep an eye on. Connor Garland if he turns out good will take the sting off having a depleted farm system the next two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the "waiting train", whereby I figured if we simply let the contracts run out after next season we'll be in a position to make a real splash the following year. In this case, we gave up some futures to compete right away, and even though that wasn't my own "vision" for the team, I can see why it was done that way. Hardly crying. On the flip side, it will make this coming season a whole lot more fun to watch. If players like Bo really were getting disgruntled, this should help alleviate that. It also fills positions which we were going to have to fill one way or another regardless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why don't you wait to see the details before spouting off that the trade is garbage when you don't have all the facts? But I guess your thoughts on the matter are more important than reality I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-NucksFan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I don’t know how I feel about all this hopefully Jim is doing more at least the team will be better come fall looking at the lineup, well I’m hoping for a move on defence though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's (imho) far better than what he shown last season due to the amount of tough defensive minutes he got. We need more truculence on the blueline. With the cap space I would go hard for Hakanpaa and Hamonic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super excited for what JB brings in for the bottom 6 aswell! Vesey, Boyd, Rouss, Sutter, Beags... See the door gentlemen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def agree with replacing Edler with a younger Edler, OEL is a better skater though! He’s been pinned down trying to carry a $&!#e team for a long time now can’t wait to see what he can do for the next 4 years should be fun to see, the last two might be where we get burned a little bit, shall see. I agree, if it was a bit more retained I would have liked it more. And as you said he has been on a crappy team this whole time with poor D deployment and D coaching. He has looked worse the past few yrs but after a while when you come to the rink knowing that you are playing for nothing it can affect your game. The other thing people forget is that Shaw will be more involved and have more input on how this team plays D and our D system which can only improve, in turn getting the best out of this D core including OEL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CaptKirk888 Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 Wow, look at all of us armchair warriors dissecting this deal! Erickson is gone, Beagle gone, Rouesell gone, 2 players coming back that will help us way beyond what they brought to the team. Again wow, how is this not good? 4 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could hit 60 points next year. Will allow BO to focus on being a 2C and the Dickinson line will be the shutdown line. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
