And if they do ... who gives a fuck? One prospect, big fucking deal. They haven’t lost one yet so why panic?
Should they stop accumulating good young players and trade picks away to avoid losing someone decent?
Oh yeah they already tried that strategy.
Right. But if Benning has an opportunity to manage assets he should do so or, heaven forbid, he will be crucified for not doing so and we lose a good prospect we could have otherwise protected. Keeping Hughes off the books for 10-15 games to allow us flexibility is a sound plan. However, it could piss off the Hughes camp that they don’t get to burn a year this season. It’s not like Hughes will lead us to a Cup this season anyway.
My main point is GMs need to be somewhat forward thinking.
Excellent point HW and I am sure this will be part of the reason why things unfold the way they do. Now the team really has to make decisions based upon Seattle joining the league.

Doc is pissing and crying about losing a good young player in the Seattle expansion draft. I was trying to talk him off the ledge
Wasn't Blob all butt hurt that Benning didn't protect Gaunce last time?
