He put up so many points in his career, plays on the edge although some hits were pretty dirty... But did he get himself into such a deep trouble like this?? He gave his all in every shift!! Numerous cheap shots, turtles when he's called to answer for them, cries like a little baby when his teammates get sick of his trash. No respectable team would tolerate that gutless piece of trash constantly disgracing the franchise. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Well he was a bad pick. I cannot say I ever wanted him to fail, but he is still cheaper than Nylander and even off the ice, might still be better at defence…. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz their agents probably know JB is a very generous man!! $3M as a starting point for 4the liners lol... maybe some moves still to come.. im hopeful of us grabbing Zadorov. Benning must still realize he only has one physical guy back there.. I’m looking forward to Woo’s camp,. But still young, get him in on some fair rotation out of Abby this season. So nice that the farm is close to home for many franchise reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 7 minutes ago, SilentSam said: JB just cleared about 14m off the cap in 2 days. adding a third highly skilled D man in OEL and having Arizona retain 1m of his hit, and a player who plays kinda like B Marchand in Garland. Thats not bad for a 9th OA draft pick. Or he added one of the worst contracts in the league, couldn't get Arizona to add a 2nd and wasted the 9th overall pick because he still doesn't have space to sign a top 6 forward in Free Agency. Now he has to literally get rid of two players he just signed last offseason. I like Garland for the 9th on it's own but he took a huge risk by taking on OEL and risks haven't been kind to Benning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV is less of a locker room cancer than Tkachuk and was pretty easy to get rid of. It's even worse when your locker room cancer is one of your statistical leaders because then it's front page news when you put him in the press box to try to get him to play like a man instead of a little b****. We're finally free of Jake, while Calgary still has precisely zero men in their top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when many were positive with these signings ? Hopefully none of the recent moves will have cause the same anxiety to be rid of them in a short span I think we will be a much better team than last year (which wasn't hard to do) I am not so sure we have the assets now to be the best in the future now though ? I question if the objective is just short range in just not to be at the bottom of the standings anymore (like we have been for many years), now that stadiums may start filling up We will win more games now, but i want to see us win it all for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van40 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 You'd think playing for your hometown team would inspire you to train and focus 100% on your craft but instead all this kid did was party. What a bust. I was team Ehlers at the time of the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 To bad I had high hopes for him when he was drafted and the following years. He’s still young and hopefully this makes him wake up for his own sake. unless of coarse he did what he’s been accused of in which case good riddance.
