So I guess someone in the Oilers organization overrode their scouting department's decision Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 17 minutes ago, Alflives said: Nice guy, but not fake news. Benning wanted Glass. This is a Canuck's produced video. The dust up, when Linden steps in, was in the meetings. I believe it was reported by Botchford. (RIP) This is the point when Bracket takes over the draft. Until he asks for more autonomy and gets let go. "Linden cont'd: Drafting Pettersson was an interesting situation, it wasn’t just Judd it was other amateur scouts that felt very strongly that Elias was our guy and it was important to me to give those guys the autonomy to make the pick. (2/2)" Reported from 650. I would like more clarification. I mean JB is literally trying actively to goad Vegas into trading up to take Glass the guy you're alleging JB wanted. Dusted up or not he went and tried to negotiate that very deal with vegas. All I can find are tweets about an interview w Linden not the actual interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so I guess Benning always has final say even if Benning preferred Glass over Pettersson in the end of the day his regime picked Pettersson. So I'll give him credit for that. That said, as what some said here already, Benning is only an amazing drafter relative to Gillis. It actually he's been pretty good but until his picks have produced a Brayden Point or a Jaccob Slavin, I don't see him as stand out drafter 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PetterssonOrPeterson Posted March 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Rag on Jim Benning all you want, but he's done some deals like this where he's sort of outsmarted fans and armchair GM's crying bloody murder. Kind of like the Shinkaruk deal for Granlund, he's made some moves that turned out to be beneficial for this team that seemed blasphemous or unthinkable for Canucks fans at the time of the trades.

OEL, Garland and three dumps for bustaroo Guenther. That was awesome Benning. Miller for 20 OA was great! (Stupid Dubas gave up 15 to just move out a contract and 17 to rent Foligno) Draft hits and misses should be the responsibility of the scouting department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for Juulsen and Lammikko, and now we'll take Juolevi back as well I am indeed interested in seeing if Juolevi could perform better under Boudreau… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolexSub Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Yes it was a good trade to Florida but this trade still did not make up the lost opportunity in drafting Matthew Tkachuk at the time. Edited March 6, 2022 by RolexSub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
