This team should want nothing to do with him.


I said it from the get go. I don't like him as a player. Sorry. He'll either be that franchise golden boy or 3rd liner that gets bounced around from team to team. Not what I want with the 2nd pick.

Their draft board should be

Ekblad
Reinhart
or trade back.


Just my opinion.
- dadeadhead

I'd be interested to see what the offers for 2nd overall have been so far or what he could get for it + another asset.

It's about time you fools got lively in here...

Just booked round two in Put In Bay for Labor Day weekend.

He had his real shot, that experiment is pretty much done.

Would you rather have Brian Boyle or Marcus Johansson? I'd think most GM's would take the latter. His age fits the rebuild timeline as well.
- Sabresfan-365

I'd much rather sign Boyle if it means I get something useful for the future than a "3rd liner"
Either u think Johansson is better than a 3rd liner, which I'm sure WSH does too (and thus won't move him)
Or u are just nuts to want a 3rd line filler instead of a decent prospect that can actually be part of the future
If u really think 3rd line guys are a good deal for ehrhoff then I'll start listing all the otge average NHLers that I'm sure u will say Hell No to

Wow, so you are comparing Bennett to Lemieux. Who's next superman?
- sbroads24

Awe, no. Bennett will be a 2nd to maybe 1st line center 70-75 pts a yr on average who plays with heart and whom it will be much more exciting to watch play.

I was being sarcastic, that's how you sound though when taking about Reinhart.

Both are incredibly close, I'll be happy with either or Draisaitl

I just don't want Ekblad

The useful is the 13th pick, and Johansson on the third line is still useful for us as well.

Of course in a perfect world I'd rather the Caps give us Wilson or Burakovsky but they aren't going to do that.

Both the 13th pick and Johansson can be part of our future, more so than signing brian boyle.

So we don't need (kneed) Ekbald because we have the future greatest ever defense in the league coming up...
Benatty is a pansy and can't hold his junk to squirt...
Reinhardt skates in slow motion and his sister is fat.
And Drastic is Euro trash that eats too much Wiener schnitzel?
So besides this ignorant post what am I missing?

Edit: Besides a possible ban for joking...

I think Murray should draft Dal Colle as a middle finger to all the "experts".

"I told all you guys the guy we wanted would be there"

You can't build around Jagr. But Marchand eats celery

But does he eat Myers celery? That should be the real question here...

Sounds like a Feaster move...

They said that about Mario Lemieux too
- GilPerreault11

Bennett didn't just drop 280pts in ONE season
Come on
U are vastly overstating how much work Reinhart's skating needs

But does he eat Myers celery? That should be the real question here...

Only with cream cheese on it.........

I just don't want Ekblad
- sbroads24

I just have a really bad vibe about Reinhart. Like some think Bennett is going to flop, well that is exactly how I feel about Reinhart.

It sure does.

I want to be Hope Solo's punching bag...

I just have a bad vibe that Bennett has a few good seasons like Richards and then fizzles out to a 40 pt player when they really need him.

I swear, I'm not trying to be a d!ck...
I just don't see why u are content trading for a 3rd liner?
Just seems like a really bad idea to me
We should be able to get more

Agree
I also think Ritchie is overrated
- jdfitz77

An 18 yr old, 6'2", 225 lb, power forward who hits anything that moves... AND scores goals!!

Whats not to like?

Worst case, Ritchie is Lucic. But what if he could be more like Perry/Benn? This kid could easily become a beast in his prime.
