Except that is not the order we are hearing things happening. What the report says it was this
DW: We want miller and will give you the 9th.
JB: No can do we will ride him to the playoffs baby!
DW: ok
CA:Wait you were offered a 1st?
JB: Yep turned that terrible down!
DW: He drafts using the pick that was offered.
DW: Then the next day trades for a young goalie.
this story has dialogue now?
i don't believe canucksarmy is making this up. i can't figure out between the options of (a) their source confused the year of the san jose draft pick under discussion (b) the 9th overall pick was on the table but only if benning traded miller and something else or (c) both dw and jb lost their minds and this trade was there for the asking.
i find (c) hard to take. if also find it very hard to believe if it is true that it would not have been widely leaked and commented upon. to me it's a headline story for any nhl talking head.
that being said, if ryan miller for a 9oa pick was on the table then benning was an idiot not to take it.
Yes, optimistic that benning will get shartcanned
You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
Yeah, how about no.
