good god this is a bad deal. here's hoping he picks up a career threatening allergy
Jim Benning managed to make a top 10 selection that (almost) everyone doesn't immediately hate, so good for him. Based on my reading and the opinions of those smarter than me, I would have been happy with any of Pettersson, Glass and Vilardi. (indeed I would have been happy trading down to pick 8/9/10 and adding another 2nd round pick and taking whoever survived)

Sharks go for a guy who was 34th on central scouting.
I made this post before I saw McPhee's quotes......tbf, I didn't have Vegas in mind as a possible partner. Doesn't really make sense to move literally one spot forward/back.

A 20 place drop and a player for Reaves

Sharks appeared to be playing a game of how far can you reach in the early rounds and then how much can you steal (based on scout rankings) in the later ones...
I like the look of our Russian picks.

Dallas aquire defenseman Marc Methot from vegas...basically in exchange for a bag of pucks ( 2nd rd pick in 2020 and Ferguson, goalie we grabbed in the 7th round on the weekend)
Nice addition to the stars blue line. Solid defensively and definitely improves our back 6.

Flames continue the turnstile approach to goalies with Lack traded in to back up Smith

Hopefully not. Especially with Turnstyle Klingberg on defence and Jamie doesn't care Benn.
don't you dare hand out a contract to anyone that's longer than two years, you mother****er
It would be interesting to see how much better Klingberg's play and stats would look if he was given, let's just pick a random number...... 38.6% offensive zone starts instead of 29.9%. His numbers look quite good as it goes.
Probably look a lot better as part of a second pairing as well.
Not to mention being part of a top pairing with a rookie as his partner.

Not sure Methot is much of a solution on the ice for Dallas unless he can help fix Dallas' woeful penalty kill (30th @ 73.9%) because when you look at Dallas d-men's 5v5 stats there's not a lot wrong with them especially considering their age and lack experience (apparently Methot is great in the dressing room so he can definitely help there). He mixes in with Lindell, Hamhuis, Oleksiak and Nemeth.
I think the right side of the blue line needs more help in Dallas, (Klingberg, Pateryn, Johns and Honka.)
Interesting how a player can partner Erik Karlsson for 923 5v5 minutes and accumulate 0 goals and 7 assists.
We'll see how Bishop goes when he's forced to quickly move east and west across his goal crease.

I think the org is very excited about Honka, im guessing they will ease him into it alongside a vet like Hamuis, but there are hopes he could become the stars top pairing guy sooner rather than later.
this is a bit of a guess, but im guessing we roll with these pairs next season.
Methot-Klingberg
Hamuis-Honka
Lindell-Johns
With Oleksiak, Pateryn and Nemeth rotating as the 7th D man...
We need improvement, but that group is better than what we have sent out in recent years. Will be very interested to see how Hitchcock brings in a game plan which supports his defense and goaltender
i also think its likely oleksiak gets traded for some right wing help on the lower lines towards training camp
Is Pete saying, "Bring it on!" with regards to Draisaitl?
Over to you GM's, surely?
Paying Russell 16M over four years for banging the puck off the glass and watch it return seconds later still has me chuckling.

tank you stupid mother****ers
why are you tanking you stupid mother****ers
The Panthers have absolutely lose their minds over the past few weeks. Of course, some would have said the same this time last year. What a weird couple of seasons.
