Also, that 3rd round pick has gotten around more than the Kardashian sisters. It’s the Jets 3rd that’s getting passed around now. Our 3rd has cleaned up it’s act and settled down, at least I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not sure you can call this a tidy piece of business until you see how Dermott plays. Giving up a third and cap space when you have Rathbone rounding into form will be something to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We basically saved 1.5M off the Cap and replaced the position with a similar level skill player. He shoots left though. I dunno seems like a strange move when Hughes and OEL are already there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The Hamonic trade was amazing, the definition of an anti-Benning trade. This Dermott trade was more like a flashback to the Benning era. Put them together, and it's still a nice trade considering we get younger, cap space, and arguably the better player (and definitely more reliable). Willing to give the new management team the benefit of the doubt here until we see more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be recouping picks not trading them away willy nilly. Yeah it seems like Benning is mind controlling Allvin and Rutherford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be recouping picks not trading them away willy nilly. He's got great defensive analytics, and is a significant improvement over Hunt on the left side in his own zone. He can skate backwards really well, and doesn't get walked very often. Hamonic has bad analytics, hasn't been particularly useful to us on the PK, was a terrible match for Hughes, and Myers has been better with OEL than Hamonic. Plus Hamonic missed most of the season with us, and makes double of Dermott's salary. Dermott is also young enough to have potential to keep getting better, Hamonic on the other hand, is on the decline. It's not a gamechanging move, but it improves our bottom pair, and frees up some money to upgrade elsewhere too. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's good enough to take their top-4 spot. And if he somehow becomes that good, then great for us lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This trade pretty much sums up our approach. We going on a re-tool instead of a re-build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeeeergh Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Now lets see them do the same move with Pearson and Myers's contracts and use all that cap savings to get a legit top pairing RHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Hunt should not be used as a benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
