The Listening Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just now, rekker said: Ya, I get it, and we needed to move on and upgrade the right. Very much hoping Hamonic. But Dillon is not much younger and a tad overrated. If we sign David Savard and Vatanen/Montour, our RHD looks real solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero ego this offseason moving on from moves made last offseason. Yeah I wish he the pro scouting was better at times but JB can sure get things done. No point in dwelling on the past - very interested to see who slots into the top 4 RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt is worth at least a second. But alas, the market is what the market is. because benning wanted to get rid of schmidt more badly than any team wanted to acquire him. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not good for the room and how motivated would the player would play for the team? My point is that we should have gotten a better return. People complain about constant negative posters and their anti Benning agendas. I think it should be okay to criticize a move sometimes. I expected a better return for a player of his calibre regardless of what we paid to acquire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to see the Jekyll Jim Benning more Yes, I think he’s also changing his legal name to Jim Daniel Henrik Benning 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I kinda liked him. He was easily one of our best dmen all year, even though he had an off year. We are pretty well out of good tradable assets, so Jim is really banking of free agency to rebuild that defensive line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well go all the way and get the number one free agent. It would be entertaining, no doubt, but I'd rather see some physical, stay at home types on the right side given the 4 puck movers we have on the left. But at the rate Benning has been wheeling and dealing, all kinds of adjustments could happen, so yeah, bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Like that it appears JB has become Decisive. In the past, appears he was getting strung along by half-azzed & manipulative, disingenuous, counterpart GM's. Now it's either, "Move on this buddy, or we'll do it by OTHER means!" This assertivenes is a marked change. Without looking too deeply, assume it indicates the org now believes our youth are ripe enough/ready to rock'n'roll. Let's trim away the fat, & then toss these youngins' into the deep end(sans water-wings). Gettin' exciting here folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 All things being equal if Schmidt was a true right side D he probably stays. But with OEL and Hughes we don't really need the 6 million dollar lefty. Bring on Hamonic now and it looks good back there. Actually best D since 2011 imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Wonder why is was so important to trade him tonight? Are the Canucks making a push for a big UFA? That’s urgency can’t be for EP and QH only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 8 minutes ago, Kobayashi Maru said: This just gives us the flexibility to re-sign Petey and Quinn, sign Schenn and give Hamonic a proper offer. Once that is done D is set: Ekman-Larsson Myers Hughes Hamonic Joulevi Schenn Rathbone Bowey That does seem to be what the D is shaping up to be… though we are still in tough to sign two of those players just to get to a subpar defence. I know you can’t fix a team overnight, but we sure have a long way to go as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I can understand the frustration, keep in mind that not every trade is about getting face value. In this case there's a lot more at stake such as cap space, needing to sign Pettersson, Hughes, etc. Perhaps if things went your way, this trade doesn't get done at all and we lose Pettersson. That IS a possibility here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Let's see... EP - $7M x 4yr bridge QH - $6M x 3yr bridge Hamonic - $2M x 3yr Schenn - $1M x 2yr Dickinson - $2.25 x 3yr OJ - $1M x 2yr Halak - $2M x 1yr ------ Total = $21.5M Approx $9M left to get a RHD or other. Maybe less if EP and QH get a bigger salary for a long term contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
