GDT: Free Agent/Trade Extravaganza 2017: The Shattening

[Devilsgrl35]

That is surprising. Maybe Beau wanted to move on and go to a playoff team.

 

[DEVILS130]

Team is shaping up to be a dumpster fire

Because we lost Beau Bennett?

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Jets012 on suicide watch

 

[NJDevs26]

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

That's the worst part about him walking after a year...a third-rounder in a stacked draft for essentially a rental on a bad team.

 

[JimEIV]

If there was an addition from subtraction this season it was Josefson and Bennett.

 

[SeidoN]

That is surprising. Maybe Beau wanted to move on and go to a playoff team.

Cordell claims he knows for a fact beau didnt want out

 

[tr83]

BB8 may not have been thrilled with being yoyo-ed in and out of the lineup.

Don't forget who the coach is.

 

[BahlDeep]

Team is shaping up to be a dumpster fire

... lol this is terrible

 

[Devilswede]

That's actually a bad move by Shero. You gotta find a way to keep Beau at that price... c mon

 

[Devils731]

No loss whatsoever.

How can Bennet be no loss but the Devils have to hold a spot for Coleman?

 

[None Shall Pass]

*whispers* Beau Bennett isn't that good.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

maybe thats why we let Bennett leave...?

 

[MichaelJ]

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?

He'd have to, right? Bennett's gone and so is DSP (no loss) so we have openings. Shatty is probably going to NYR so we'll likely be in on a trade or two. Depends what happens with Kovalchuk but I also think Henrique is headed out.

 

[ScottyK]

Guess Ray is giving Beau's spot to someone like JQ, not the worst move ever.

 

[Darkauron]

So any other good RW's available?

 

[tr83]

If there was an addition from subtraction this season it was Josefson and Bennett.

JJ yes, Bennett no.

I wasn't a fan of him for the first 2/3 of the season despite his possession metrics. Then he found his game, got involved in the play, and started to score which is why this bothers most of us.

 

[JimEIV]

How can Bennet be no loss but the Devils have to hold a spot for Coleman?

Bennett has had 5 years and 194 games to prove he can't produce at the NHL level.

 

[Triumph]

How can Bennet be no loss but the Devils have to hold a spot for Coleman?

Only one of those players was drafted by David Conte

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Bennett was a soft player and we already have to many

 

[Blender]

*whispers* Beau Bennett isn't that good.

Sure, but he's a decent depth player that we gave up a 3rd round pick for. It's bad asset management to let him walk just to save $500k or so.

 

[ghdi]

so we'll likely be in on a trade or two..

Or other UFAs. We're an hour in.

 

[tr83]

Guess Jagr is gonna get a call

 

[AfroThunder396]

 

[Emperoreddy]

Sure, but he's a decent depth player that we gave up a 3rd round pick for. It's bad asset management to let him walk just to save $500k or so.

Doubt it has anything to do with money. He most likely wanted the spot open for someone else.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

This franchise may never recover from the loss of Beau Bennett.
