Would you trade him for Andrew Ladd?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:28 amHe’s like a big oily mole with a clump of hair growing out of it.
Ladd is 32 years old his $5.5 million Cap Hit NTC contract carries him til the end of the 2022-23 season. He will be 38 years old when his contract ends
In 42 games Ladd has 9 goals 9 assists

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
No I just would have never traded or signed for him in the first place. Not my type of player for the dollars he’s earning. Oh well he isn’t going anywhere and neither is Louis.RoyalDude wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:36 amWould you trade him for Andrew Ladd?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:28 amHe’s like a big oily mole with a clump of hair growing out of it.

Do you agree that every team and GM has a bad contract or two under their belt, current and past?

I believe you had posted on a few occasions your desire for this team to go after the UFA Andrew LaddBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:42 amNo I just would have never traded or signed for him in the first place.

Sure every team has a bad contract. We have two and a couple other weak ones as well. Thing is other than Boeser and Tanev we don’t have any bargain contracts. And even Tanev is hurt so fucking much he isn’t really a great bargain anymore.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Sutter will be as old as Andrew Ladd is now when Sutters contract ends. The Modified NTC portion of Sutters contract kicks in after next season for the last two years of his contract. Ladds $5.5 Million cap hit will take him 5 more seasons after this until he is 38. Remember, Bubbles badly wanted Benning to sign him and Brouwer when they were UFA's. Brouwer is 32 the same age as Ladd and has 3 goals and 9 assists in 45 games. Brouwers $4.5 million cap hit contract takes him to two more seasons after this season. Bubbles has an eye for UFA players to sign.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
The trade for Sutter wasn’t bad. I think we overpaid simply because the Pens weren’t going to be able to re-sign him. I would take Sutter over Bonino most days.
The optics are skewed because immediat after the trade Bonino got to play with Kessel and Hagelin behind a top 6 anchored by Crosby and Malkin.....no team can match up even remotely close when your 3rd line has Kessel and Hagelin on the wings. I mean really, Phil Kessel in the bottom 6? Bones has been a nobody again since leaving Pittsburgh. He had a strong season and playoffs followed up by a lesser season. Won a pair of cups, then left because he wanted Sutter money, Nashville paid him and he has given them 9 points in 33 games.
So the trade was good.
The contract extension was bad.
As far as trades to Benning has made a couple of head scratchers, but not many. It’s the signings and re-signings that feel out to lunch.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
At this point, I would much rather buyout Eriksson (or miraculously trade him) and keep the Sedins at a serious discount. To me, the Sedins are one of the major factors that stop this team from being Edmontonesque - they are true leaders (whether you like [or agree with] their leadership style or not). For sure, they aren't nearly as effective as they once were, but if they could stay as third line players until youth legitimately take their spots, I see benefit in that.
RD, do you agree that a "Genius" should be held to a higher standard than the average (or "every") NHL GM?
