Mëds i read the 3 teams that were in on Barrie were Col Van and EDM. VAN and COL both have their top unit PP QB already and this is where TB pays his rent.

Barrie went to Edmonton, even though Vancouver was in on the bidding, to try and resurrect his career totals while riding shotgun for the big two. If he can get his points back up to the 50 mark he will earn, or so the theory goes, a bigger payday next off season. As was said, here he would be behind Hughes. So Benning was all over this but Barrie chose another route.

In fact, because we were waiting on Barrie we lost Stetcher. Canucks had him as a plan D. Plan A, OEL. Plan B, Tanev, Plan C Barrie. Plan D Stetcher. Stetcher got an offer from Detroit he liked and Canucks told him he would have to wait until after Barrie decided. Stetcher decided not to wait.

So its nonsense to suggest Benning wasn't active or somehow missed out, fell asleep at the wheel.

Interesting, HW... I don't think JB can ever win in this market. He acts decisively right away -> He's too hasty. He waits patiently to see how it plays out -> He's asleep.

Not a shot against you Mëds. I agree with everything... except the Stecher part. Goodbye Runt.

Hall is obviously all about winning.

Wanted to finally have some success after only 2 playoffs in 11 years. Willing to take less to win...

Goes to Buffalo for 8 Million winning reasons :roll:

Follow up on this... Told that a Schmidt trade is still in place, but contrary to reports, he is not going to Florida. Stay tuned.
Instead of OEL, why not trade for Schmidt?

I've seen that AP is visiting Vegas. Haven't seen that he's signing, nor that Schmidt has been traded.....source?

Can confirm Alex Pietrangelo and #Vegasborn are indeed working towards completing a contract.

And Skyo just quoted Panotta: "Told that a Schmidt trade is still in place".

It's like I said, this is how teams up against the cap sign big UFAs.

Pull the trigger on a deal on the table.

In fairness to Skyo, reports indicated Schmidt was being dealt to Florida.

Then the reports changed... "Wait, no, NOT Florida".

Skyo is just giving us the latest reports.
