Dang I'm shocked we let go of Bennett. Was certain he'd resign.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Vlasic has already has a lot of mileage on his body with over 925+ games at the age of 30. Now another 8 years which I assume doesn't kick in till after this upcoming season, because he wasnt a ufa? The money would be fine but it's 3 years too long. I think Vlasic is great but I'd about this deal.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Yeah, Bennett signed a one-year deal with the Blues. Cheap too, I guess we didn't want him back.

 

[ScottyK]

Did he ?

I didnt see this announced

Blues just announced it.

 

[NJDevs26]

Did he ?

I didnt see this announced

Apparently so according to SiriusXM Twitter. Not his biggest fan but now we need TWO RW'ers. Unless they're that confident in Speers making the team somehow.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Wonder why we didn't want him back? Unless he didn't want to come back?

Yeah, Bennett signed a one-year deal with the Blues. Cheap too, I guess we didn't want him back.

Or he wanted to leave and asked Ray not to qualify him.

Either way, it's not something I'm going to lament.

I'm pretty surprised the Devils lost Bennet.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I'm pretty surprised the Devils lost Bennet.

We didn't have to so at least one side must of wanted to move on.

 

[SeidoN]

well that makes me think NJ dont care much for advanced stats

 

[Jets012]

Stupid move. You all are going to say I'm complaining to complain, but to let Bennett walk for that is really dumb. Horrible on Shero.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Bennett's a nice player but I'm not gonna cry about losing him. Was never as high on him as his analytics showed.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Apparently so according to SiriusXM Twitter. Not his biggest fan but now we need TWO RW'ers. Unless they're that confident in Speers making the team somehow.

Even if Speers is guaranteed making the team we need another RW.

All we have is Noeson and Palms right now

 

[NJDevs26]

Or he wanted to leave and asked Ray not to qualify him.

Either way, it's not something I'm going to lament.

Maybe so, he signed for REAL cheap. Nothing we couldn't have matched.

Or we just didn't want him back. Third-round pick for one year of a guy on the back six isn't ideal though.

 

[Patrik26]

I just realized Beau went to Stl...

That pisses me off.

That SUCKS.

 

[Bcap88]

Team is shaping up to be a dumpster fire

 

[liquid1988]

That was a mistake to lose BB8 for nothing.....Wasted draft pick for him.

 

[Team Concept]

No one seems willing to give Radulov the term he wants.

Bennett just signed with somebody. If we lose out on Shattenkirk why don't we just give Radulov 5 years?

 

[JimEIV]

I'm pretty surprised the Devils lost Bennet.

No loss whatsoever.

 

[NJDevs26]

Bennett's a nice player but I'm not gonna cry about losing him. Was never as high on him as his analytics showed.

Me neither BUT you still need an actual body. Bennett was okay as a hold the fort guy for another year but I guess we or he wanted to go in a different direction.

 

[Blender]

Yea, not happy with the BB8 thing when we could have given him a qualifying offer.

 

[Nemec]

650k lol. One side or both really didn't want to commit

 

[Alex NJD]

We have both middle six RW spots open. I have to imagine we're high on some RW in the organization, perhaps Shero has something cooking involving another RW too?
