Cross yo' fingers. These kind of bets don't work out too often. Probability is players that start a 2-3 year decline, continue it regardless of age. His most expensive reclamation acquisition yet How did the other cheaper ones go? Do people think we are Cup contenders now? Where will the new skilled cheaper players come when we are? A huge risk if you don't consider this making us cup contenders do you not believe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about to change . OEL played for them for 10 years also while trying to stay motivated. Nobody could enjoy that. These two are more then welcome to Vancouver to me. Can't wait His entire NHL career playing on such a lacklustre team. That would be so dreary for a pro athlete. Just soul sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbllpp Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 First reaction was WTF, but after reflection JB moved us from a cap problem to in the cat bird seat while improving us for the mid-term. He can now make all his remaining off-seasons moves without the cap at his back and other than re-signing Hamonic had no need to pay UFAs OEL at 7 M at 35-36 vs Edler 6 M at the same age is a simlar risk in my mind and much better than forking out 6x6 to LE at 30 Garland let’s us move Miller to third line C with Podz plus to roll 3 scoring lines I am OK with this, not what I would’ve done but I respect it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionized27 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 In Benning I trust. Shrewd. The next two seasons (and off seasons) will show us all what this franchise is made of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Calgary picked a beauty. Coronato He could be one of the best out of this draft. Edited July 24, 2021 by appleboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 10 minutes ago, kloubek said: Button likes it, for what its worth. I do too. The more I think about it, the more I realize that we already have the core in place. They will improve over time, but they're here. We have Hoglander up. Podz up. Our previous best prospect in Rathbone up. Besides maybe a further tweak on d, I feel this is basically the team that is expected to win the cup. Our time to rise really is now, and Benning clearly feels the same way and he's pressing now. It's nice to be optimistic about this team again, and I am certain we are going to be truly competitive, if nothing else. This is the point. We have already drafted an entire core. Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Boeser, Podkolzin, Hoglander, Rathbone. That’s eight integral parts of the team. Even Tampa, the pinnacle of drafting, acquired the rest of their roster through free agency and trades. There’s still a lot of work to do, including drafting assets that can be later exchanged for holes, but the core is there and we have augmented the core with this trade and the JT Miller trade two years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Strap Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 So we basically paid Arizona a first rounder, a 2nd and a 7th to take 3 expiring contracts off our hands and we get back in return 1 very bad long term contract and a RFA who wants more $$$?? What the hell is Benning smoking? 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, any GM would make that signing, as it made sense for several reasons. Nobody could have predicted Loui would cash in and check out so quickly. I've only seen it happen a few times in the modern era where a player transforms from a really strong winner of a player to an absolute disgrace over an offseason. Point being, he's going to be fine. Just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And dropped a pile of garbage contracts and freed up spots and cap. All for a projected 2nd line winger who may or may not be bust and no one will know for years. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystifyNCrucify Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I was uneasy when i heard that benning made a trade. It “seemed” like a knee jerk reaction, swing for the fences in an attempt to save his job move. I wasnt impressed with taking cap back, despite offloading the dead weight, and losing out on the ninth and second rounder. Ive learned to give benning the benefit of the doubt with his trades since Miller so i held my thoughts to see how the draft panned out. Once again, i realize how shrewd benning actually is. Its like he knew what would be left at number nine. He really is on a whole other level on draft day. I think only a few other gms come close to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
