Ya but you have to admit it makes sense to deal from our strength to try and reinforce our darkest weakness?

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Considering it will be a likely top 5 pickn in a great draft I’d say yes. The chances of forwards turning out seem to be greater than D menRoyalDude wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 4:13 pmWould that be like thinking a forward drafted in the first round of the 2019 draft will pan out, replacing a panned out Boeser (traded for a top 4 D-man)?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 2:04 pmHe thinks all of the other prospects will pan out and that Tryamkin will come back

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
According to your calculations none of these four prospects will amount to a top pairing D-man - Hughes, Juolevi, Woo, Tryamkin?

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Hughes might. I can’t see any of the others. Why would it a crime to have two top pairing d men?
Tryamkin is turning 25 in the new year.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
But trading a young panned out Boeser for a veteran top pairing D-man with the thought in mind of replacing Boeser with a 2019 1st round picked forward (wherever that will be, could be 11th pick in the draft) that is no guarantee to pan out is the stuff of brilliance Blob especially since we only have 3 legitimate top 6 forwards in Pettersson, Horvat and Boeser and with potentially 4 top pairing D-men in Hughes, Woo, Tryamkin and Juolevi on their way not too mention Rathbone who is playing excellent in Harvard and Brisebios as wellBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 9:47 amHughes might.

Where did I say I’d trade Boeser for a veteran?

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
I said it. The D sucks ass and theres only 1 impact defenseman in the pipeline. I dont buy Juolevi being a top pairing asset whatsoever...more like a 5-6 slot guy somewhere along the lines of Puliot.
StL is reeling and needs a major shakeup. They have Parayenko and Pieterangelo who would instantly become our top guy on the back end.
I smell weakness that could be exploited

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Bubbles, end of the day, have faith in Jimbro’s masterplan. He knows a thing or two
Tyler Madden - 5 goals 5 assists northeastern rookie
Oliver Wahlstrom - 3 goals 0 assists Boston College rookie
Remember when you pee’d your mini skirt when Jimbro selected Madden over Jack Wise
Jimbro is taking us to the promise land

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
Tim Hunter on Jett Woo -
"has a bright mind for making right plays"
"has a reputation for popping guys"
"you don't see guys who play that old school smash mouth, run over people style. Not a lot of guys are will to do that anymore but I think there's still room for that style in the game"
"He's a throwback defenseman, he keeps players honest, not afraid to step up and run over someone in the neutral zone. And when a tough guy steps up, Jett tells him to bring it on, but he's got a lot more skill than you see most nigths"
Jett Woo - right shot defenceman
Quinn Hughes - left shot defenceman
The future top pairing defence, right there for ya Bloberino!
Blob - "trade Boeser for a top pairing defenceman. Replace Boeser with the 2019 1st round pick." whom bob thinks will "pan out" but doesn't think Bennings D-man he's drafted will pan out. Michael Dal Colle and Dylan Strome say hi. You see the delirium that Blobbles puts us through on a daily basis?
Juolevi
Tryamkin
Brisebios
Rathbone
Yeah, sure does look like Jim Benning don't give a shit about the defence.
The future on D is sooooo bright, gotta wear shades

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate!
So you don't think that left shot Hughes and right shot Woo have the potential to be a top pairing defence? They won't pan out? But the 2019 first round pick forward will at the expense superstar forward Boeser?
You're completely out to lunch, Blob. You are the only human on gods green earth who think's Hughes will not be a top pairing defenceman? And ta boot, his Jake Muzzin/Brent Seabrook in Jett Woo is sitting right there waiting to join up to form this amazing top pairing for years to come. Get off the lunacy my friend, you're not making sense.
