OK, list the better trade assets without NMC, young players and prospects that were in place when Benning took over. Show us how they were better than what was in place when this management took over.

I can't even believe someone would put up this argument. Back it up then...

The Golden Knights have traded Max Pacioretty, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Evgenii Dadonov and the best thing they got back was Mikael Hakkarainen.

Exactly what I thought... you can't. I'm right and you know it.

trade asset: Miller vs Nobody

young players: Petey, Quinn, Boeser, Demko, Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lockwood vs Horvat only

Even our weak prospect pool amounts to a lot more than what Gillis left. It was only Gaunce.... (frank)ing Gaunce.

Enjoy your evening. Don't let your state of denial ruin your rest.

So bad. 🤣

Someone should still offersheet Roy.

Wish a Van media member was at prospect camp instead of just Faber. 2 days all he has talked about is McDonough, Klimivich "heavy" shots.

I'm liking the additions so far, hopefully making the team 'harder to play against' in terms of sandpaper, speed and PK ability.

JTM-EP40-BB
Pods-Horvat-Garland
Pearson-D!ckinson-Mikky
Lockwood/Joshua-Lazar-Hoglander/Kuzmenko

Defense is still a mess.
I'd personally like to see Hoglander and Pearson moved to improve D.
Have a tougher 4th line.

With Guadreau in Columbus, I guess NJ & NYI will be circling back to Miller.

i'm not holding my breath.

I asked RD about Marino...

ME;
Good work Rick, enjoy the summer now. Do you think VAN is in on Marino? Garland the other way?

RD;
I was so busy with free agency - didn’t look into that

Will try tomorrow

There is unrest on the Island. Very interested to see how the #Isles pivot from here. Clear they have money to spend. Lamoriello is now in the final year of his contract - can't close the big UFAs. With a new, gorgeous barn, contending for a Cup is that much more important.

He's a pretty good troll tbh.
Makes Nucker's alter ego for a season look amateurish.

Canucks could shift their focus on asking price for Miller. The ask of young roster players and top 4 D. Might have to change. A lot of the teams going for Miller dont have the right assets.

Got greedy and over-extended themselves.
Somehow very apt for a Vegas team.

Yup, It won't be a slam dunk like people thought before. The market looks better now though.

They should get all futures. RHD with top 4 potential/pedigree, C with top 6 potential and a draft pick would be a huge win. Think 3-4 years from now instead of this season.

Still got a pretty damn good team next year, wouldnt be surprised to see them take the Pacific. But yeah, having to give good players away for nothing is brutal.

I would say make trades that allow you to make other trades then.

Who knows what those futures will turn into and what the team might look like in 3-4 years. I'd look for the right parts, which I think is what Van just trying to get too many of them all at once.

Van picked Jett Woo early 2nd and that hasn't turned out so great so far.
