(or at least logical when put in perspective)
Yeah probably.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Lol Doc probably would have coughed up a top 5 pick for Vey.
I guess this is a win in "your books". Take em where you can. You have "evolved" into the new Dado.Strangelove wrote:Yeah probably.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Lol Doc probably would have coughed up a top 5 pick for Vey.
BTW someone just offered me $34K for my 2015 Silverado, what's your offer
... $17K??

As I said:ESQ wrote: How did the Vey trade thread ever get bumped from the front page?
Its been 3 years and people are still acting like trading a 2nd round pick for Vey is like trading Naslund for Stojanov.
When people are still harping on one of the most minor trades Benning has done, its going to be tough to have a reasonable discussion about him...

In fact, folks were excited about inserting a youngster with such a high ceiling into the lineup!

Again, I'd rather use the picks to get some prospects who have greater potential. I think those type of players u can generally grab in the UFA market or waivers or swap of prospects, don't have to give up a decent pick (2nd/3rd rounder).
I will say this though, not sure if I'm really a big fan of the GM getting players who his coach likes (ie: the Medicine Hat connection). Kind of like when Neil Smith just went out and got whatever Mike Keenan wanted with the Rangers, although it did work and they won it in 94. Generally, the GM just goes out and gets the best players who he thinks will best suit his team, the coach just works with what is given to him.
Maybe Willie knows something about these players as they could be undiscovered gems who could turn out to be excellent NHLers; on the other hand, maybe they simply are what they are presently projected as... fringe NHLers (a Lonny Bohonos and Mike Brown). Time will tell.
