You're just going to attack posters who are not a fan of Benning? Get out of here, he makes some signings and in your eyes everyone is supposed to just forget about the last 7 years and turn the switch and now treat Benning like he's some god in your eyes now, go play on Twitter.

If only more posts in this forum provided this level of insight and meaningful context.

JB has done well over the past couple of weeks.

 

But this team still needs a top pair big body RHD if they want to make playoffs and win a round or two. Need a star player at that position.  

 

Only way to acquire that player is via trade and we really can't afford what it would cost.

 

Maybe next off season we get a player like that.

Well when I go check out some threads of the recent signings and going through the pages I keep seeing this one poster attacking other posters who are still not a fan of Benning, like that's you mission to just attack all the posters who are not a fan of Benning still really... 

 

Just because the person likes him and likes the things he's done the last couple days, doesn't mean everyone is supposed to just start liking him now as well, but if that poster is just going to attack them then I'll stand up for them because they have a right to their opinion still. A couple days of moves and signings is not enough to justify all the bad crap he has done for the last 7 years to start liking him all of a sudden, just because a poster is in love with him and thinks everyone else should be as well.

Or at the trade deadline?

 

I'm hoping Myers will click with OEL, but if not I'm not really sure where Myers fits actually.

 

Best case scenario though we have two top pairing level D:s in OEL and QH and three 2nd pairing RD in Myers/Poolman/Hamonic. If so it's not a bad start, but still lots of unknowns.

You can blame Linden for 4 of the 7.

Hughes is not a top pair guy. That's why they got OEL. So Hughes can be sheltered from opposing teams top players.

Yeah you mentioned that already.

 

Personnally I prefer sticking to debating players and team related issues rather than discussing who wrote what and why that was unfair/stupid/a personal attack or whatever, but that's just me I guess.

Parayko but not sure we'd have the cap next year. But he is the missing piece for us. We can make do without but a player like that changes the dynamic for us. We could move out Myers and go with Parayko, Hamonic, Woo but not sure that's good enough. Plus my bet is St. Louis throws alot at him and he stays there.

Yeah fair enough, he's only a top pairing guy offensively so far. Agree that a bit more sheltered role will suit QH better at this point.

And once in a while, one gets ripped away from the rest and placed with a bunch of other flower corpses referred to as a bouquet, by a man hoping to get laid.
