Most GMs in west or the east would love to trade with Benning
Why cause every transaction comes with a complimentary 2nd or 3rd rounder FREE?

No shit. I don’t even mind Miller as a player but the price tag sucks. Pretty much everywhere but here among a few klowns this deal is getting panned and people are saying Elmer got throat pumped again. Draft and develop. Rinse and repeat. Some folks just can’t handle a rebuild.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:17 pmBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 8:50 pm

It's a lottery-protected pick, so somewhere in Boeser/McCann territory.DonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:12 pm Apparently, although both of you think JB is a genius, neither of you have as much faith in JB's drafting as I do, because I see it as at least probable that a first round pick by JB (at this point) ends up being substantially better than Miller.
It feels like they get at least a 7th as a gratuity just for answering his phone call.Uncle dans leg wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:17 pmBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 8:50 pm

I think JB has shown an upward trend in his drafting. Hence, my thinking that the pick (if made by him) would be substantially better than Miller. More Boeser. Less McCann.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 10:00 pmIt's a lottery-protected pick, so somewhere in Boeser/McCann territory.DonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:12 pm Apparently, although both of you think JB is a genius, neither of you have as much faith in JB's drafting as I do, because I see it as at least probable that a first round pick by JB (at this point) ends up being substantially better than Miller.
Well when you put it that way .......Topper wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:19 am Miller (6'1", 218lb) put up nearly identical numbers to Bo Horvat (6', 215) until buried in Tampa depth last year. He and Bo are similar size and on similar contracts (Miller is $250K/yr cheaper than Bo with the same # yrs left on his deal). Miller returns to top 6 position he held with the Rags. Miller is 2 yrs older than Bo and a yr younger than Pearson. Miller was drafted 2 spots behind Bearchia and 14 ahead of Nick Jensen.
Would you want a 1st in return for Bo Horvat?

That's funny, there wasn't a single rumor of Benning going after Miller, but you have decided to adopt this narrative that he had beer goggles on for this certain guy.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 8:30 pm
I don’t mind Miller but yeah it definitely seems like he had his beer goggles on and lovers nuts for this certain guy.
Hey, I just want to say thank you, it must be exhausting being the only poster with a reasonable point of view. Seriously, bravo, we could all learn so much from you.Diehard1 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:49 am
I wouldn't worry about a few posters here always defending Jimbo. I learned a while ago that they just do it for the sheer entertainment, it has nothing to do with the job they actually think he's doing. Still fun to debate them but don't ever think you'll be able to reason with them no matter what the evidence is.

I mean, surely on your narrative there would have been a whisper of this happening? After all, you are so plugged in that you've brought this scoop that Benning supposedly offered #6oa, Horvat, and his wife's wedding ring for Subban, you must have heard something in advance about Benning having a hard on for Miller?
Otherwise, it would seem to suggest that your narrative is bullshit, just like your story on the Subban offer (which was far better than what the Hab's actually got, but hey, narrative, right?).
If Benning wants to recoup a 1st, he can always trade Miller again. He's been traded for a first twice before.
Benning admitted that they had been trying to do a deal for him for awhile. Micky posted the interview somewhere.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:39 amMust defend everything Jim Benning doesESQ wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:29 amThat's funny, there wasn't a single rumor of Benning going after Miller, but you have decided to adopt this narrative that he had beer goggles on for this certain guy.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 8:30 pm

Question, how many of us have actually watched him enough to judge the trade? As a season ticket holder and NHL Centre Ice subscriber I watch lots of hockey and have to admit that I was taken back by his skill level and physical play after watching some of his highlight packages....Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:23 pmNo shit.
