After Dale dug his Talons into him and skullfucked him, Jim Ignitowski did the best he could.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:48 am Gudbranson wasn’t a shiney moment for Benning. But every GM has some of those. He rebounded well with ole Tanner.
And exactly how well did Dale do in that trade?

Uhhhhh.... he won it. Not by a landslide mind you as he dealt the high pick and dealt a solid young cost controlled forward in McCann. His big win was dumping an overpaid 6/7 d man on Elmer without retaining salary.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:04 amAnd exactly how well did Dale do in that trade?

You talk of the Gudbranson trade still like it was a major setback for us?Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:43 am Well getting rid of Gudbranson’s contract is a decent win for any team when you aren’t taking salary back. Rutherford did well to ditch that millstone to Anaheim too.
It was one of a group of dumb moves that certainly thinned out the potential prospect pipeline. It wasted cap space like those other moves when these types of players could be found for cheap on July 1 or on the waiver wire. I have zero interest in re-hashing this with you.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:47 amYou talk of the Gudbranson trade still like it was a major setback for us?Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:43 am Well getting rid of Gudbranson’s contract is a decent win for any team when you aren’t taking salary back.

I’m about as bothered by the Gudbranson trade as I am the Forsling trade. It’s like dropping a taco chip from a plate of nachos on the ground.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:09 amIt was one of a group of dumb moves that certainly thinned out the potential prospect pipeline.

I can’t believe Rutherford got out from under that contract

Detroit Red Wings
UPDATE: The Detroit #RedWings today acquired left wing Brendan Perlini from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Alec Regula.
So that's a Virtanen comparable trade, as doesn't Perlni and JV have similar points and both drafted in 2014?
May 2018 – Regula is a smart, mobile, two-way defender with top-four upside at the NHL level. He was somewhat buried in his second season playing for the London Knights, behind the likes of Evan Bouchard and Adam Boqvist, yet his big (6-4, 207) frame was still utilized on the power play in front of the net. Regula has progressed nicely in his draft plus one year, improving from 25 points in 67 games to 39 points in 66 games.
