The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)

[Chef Boi RD]

What are you going on about Reef?

RD said we have good young D, I said we have Hughes for sure but after that it is unknown who will make it. So to say that the team is set for D is asinine.

He thinks all of the other prospects will pan out and that Tryamkin will come back

Would 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)?

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

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 men

Top pairing.... your reading skills are horrendous. Think Seth Jones

[Chef Boi RD]

According to your calculations none of these four prospects will amount to a top pairing D-man - Hughes, Juolevi, Woo, Tryamkin?

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.

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 well

[Blob Mckenzie]

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

[Cousin Strawberry]

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

[Chef Boi RD]

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

But Dude said the pipeline is loaded with top pairing d men.

How dare you?!

Eye hand! Eye hand!

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

[Blob Mckenzie]

The pipeline is bursting with top pairing d men

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.
