Well we have a solid young player with potential to grow and a good work ethic. Better trade him in the name of a brighter future
- NorthNuck

you do know that Point is Better and Younger? it's a pipe dream trade , but the pick upgrade might be the sweetener needed , and like I said feel free to throw in Goldy

If FA is directly calling the shots on contracts this summer then this team is beyond (frank)ed
- Nucker101

Only want him to bless an OS that makes sense & let JB look like his puppet.

Alrighty then, nice chatting.

Stetcher and Edler are your worst fear

I don't think Jb would even ask for his blessing so it would have to be FA who initiates it, and if he's initiating specific moves like then then we're in big trouble.

Most owners likely just tell their GM's where they'd like to see improvement, not give them direct orders to sign "Player X" to an OS. That's way to hands on for a guy who has no Gm experience....

I’m an old Al Davis fan & don’t conform on all things. Strategically targeting an RFA is a one off type of situation. Pick on a team that’s overloaded & not a traditional trade partner.
Eg any direct rival or close to.

All smoke & mirrors is the ploy

I still don't see Benning doing this, either as the trigger man or a puppet. Seems like a real long shot and wishful thinking.


A trade with a cap hell team, sure. But not an OS.

Point and Marner are the only offer-sheets i would do

For me...

Trouba
Connor
Kapanen

For me...

Trouba
Connor
Kapanen
- Nighthawk

to me the potential of the multiple picks , for theses players , outweighs the monetary cost value, like i said only 2 players are worth the risk, and even then i would rather try and make a trade work first

Hayes for 5/6m? Or will cost more?
Play him on LW

Yes for either Connor or Trouba.
Kapenen no but OS for a 2nd or seek a trade.

I would bet that The Jets give up Laine before Conner

Doesn't work, stupid NHL rule.

WOW no love for Point?? if JB could sell that i would commission the statue myself
it's an offer-sheet work around , if they would consider see what happens , hell even throw in Goldy
- onesmallleap

There's no way TB trades him but I would love this. Even in the videogames this is a no.

If they trade Bo, the team will start playing Fort Night again.

- boonerbuck

Bo will ask for a trade when Pettersson gets the 'C'.

It will take care of itself.

You're smart enough to know that this isn't Benning's mentality.
- Nucker101

How do you measure a dimwits mentality? If Lefty was here I could ask?

I dont think it's as far off as youd think cause remember Bo only.makes 5.5

Itll never happen but the value isnt crazy. Point is gonna be 9ish. If your in a cap crunch like Tampa maybe bo st 5.5 is better than point at 9 who knows
