I don't think some GM's see it like that, which is good for us.

Market inefficiency

Yup totally. We should run a team. You can manage the nerds and I’ll watch over the eye testers and players wives 👍🏻

Fair, but 1 game is definitely way too small. Like JD and Poolman have had good games this season but overall have struggled.

And almost every Devils fans’ comment on Zacha all say very similar things. Tweener, soft, not reliable defensively, mediocre hockey sense. He has offensive talent and size/skating but just lacks everywhere else

- Nucker101

Add it up & why not a C & is a LW.

He has 7 goals 30 points in 50 games. Do our entire D squad have 7 goals? I bet it is close.

Boeser has 30 pts in 48 games.

Only partner that makes sense is OEL. That a 1st pairing? If 2nd pairing do you like Hughes/Myers as a 1st pairing? Don’t see Severon 3rd pairing but never know.

I'd prefer none of the above, would rather just trade Boeser for futures + cap space if Zacha is the best roster player you can get
- Nucker101

I lean toward this as well. There is a few nice prospect pools out there. NYR Ottawa LAK to name a few.

Boeser for Zacha is fair.
Hog for Severson is not as he only has a year before UFA

Anyone know a place in the lower mainland that can try and fix a mechanical keyboard? Right side of my spacebar refuses to acknowledge I exist and I don't want to buy a new one unless I have to.

Wtf does this mean? Zacha contract situation > Boeser contract situation
- CanuckDon

Zacha can be a UFA after 1 year if he wants only a 1 year deal deal. Furthermore he’s a downgrade.

They are pretenders. Terrible 5V5 team propped up by goaltending. They should be buyers like we should be buyers. Hence why i said they won’t make a big pitch for Miller unless their GM is an idiot! Let’s hope he is. But let’s get serious, we aren’t trading miller
- CanuckDon


I didn’t think their D played well at all last night. Top to bottom they were just ok. Agree, pretenders.

Wrong! Benning would wait until Boeser was due his qualifying offer, hence when he has no value
- CanuckDon


Benning is a genius. His plan was not to qualify Boeser, negating the $7.5 million hurdle, then start calling teams to make a trade.

They turned the puck over at their blue line way too much. It wasn’t impressive that’s for sure.

Maybe it was a bad game, maybe the Canucks were just too much for them, I dunno, first of their games I’ve seen all season.

Watched a handful of Rangers games, they haven't been very impressive in any of the game, but last night was the only time they lost while I was watching.

They are kinda like the Canucks, relying heavily on goaltending.

Nah, benning would have pushed for the playoffs and let him walk in the summer. Even he wasn’t stupid enough to pay Brock $7.5

It was an obvious play to sign Boeser on a cheaper 5yr deal. It was not an overpayment & worked out ok. Deferring it put it in Boeser to deserve the 7.5m QO which he didn’t do & WON’T get. It is now overblown but is a minor hurdle than be worked out in one form or another. Fans just get to hung up on it.

Rags D is young & is their weak point. Without the ranked 4th PP it’s a so so team. That is the big reason Schneider is so coveted for them moving forward. Rags fans go on about moving Trouba & his 8m down the road. That will cost them since he’s never been worth it.

I see their window as now given the age of their best players. They do have a fantastic prospect pool. They will be ok but they lack C’s depth & the clock is ticking on that front.

I guess it was a bad joke as neither you nor Don got it. If Benning didn’t qualify Boeser he becomes a UFA. At that point you can’t trade him… it was a “Benning is stupid” joke.

Yes I missed it as a joke. I just don’t care about JB now that he is gone. Every GM leaves a legacy of some kind. I’m more focussed on the management team of today. Before with no Pres & the dumb small group was a big problem. Open minded to where this new group leads us. So far I’ve liked their approach feeling out the roster & offers.

Cap world . Most GMs don't want to pay that kind of money for a player that may not hit 20 goals

We beat them in November also. I do think the Rangers are overhyped.
