Confirmed Trade: [MTL/DAL] Jordie Benn for Greg Pateryn & 4th in 2017

[CanadienShark]

Jamie won't be happy.

That is quite a bit to give up for Jordie though.

Incoming Galchenyuk for Jamie offers.

Our GM is an idiot wtf is he doing? IMHO we gave up the better of the 2 and then threw in a pick for good measure. MB is slowly dismantling our team.

Jordie Benn is better than patyrn.

Seems like fair value..

 

[Habernack]

meh. I like Pateryn and think he got a bit of the shaft but its still just the 6-7th depth spot. After 2 trades at the same position, we've essentially done the following....

Nesterov & Benn for Pateryn, Racine, 4th & 6th

I can live with that. We turned little to nothing into a mediocre 3rd pairing. That's what happens with all that money tied up in your top 4

 

[Legend123]

god dman it... wrong benn. Yet again. Wrong Nikita

 

[CanadienShark]

Seems like fair value..

Did you think that was an offer?

E5: Jamie Benn requests trade to Montreal

 

[suddeninterest]

Serious question, would Jordie be an NHL regular on a team that isn't the Stars? How much of his playing time and games played was because Jamie is the captain and a ppg player?

He's a decent bottom pairing defenseman. We (Stars fans) have bagged on him for a few years because of his elite ability to ice the puck. This year especially, he's been a good shot blocker. He's the type of guy you don't notice, which is ideal with that role.

It's pretty weird that he's gone to be honest.

 

[SenzZen]

Only literally.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Jamie must be crushed.

 

[capebretoncanadien]

I've watched Jordie Benn a fair amount and not impressed.

I hope Pateryn's chicks comments didn't cause this I like the guy he's put in the years in the minors/pressbox.

I think Dallas will be pleasantly surprised with him. He's never going to be a top end d-man for them but I definitely think he can be a regular.

 

[CanadienShark]

Only literally.

You reacted really strangely to a clear joke.

 

[BB88]

I don't understand Bergevin and his plan.

 

[Creativero]

How are there been no Jamie Benn to Montreal trade rumors yet?

 

[Poochie_D]

Benn is an everyday NHLer. Pateryn to this point hasn't been (and for the record, I like him a lot). I wish him the best. I hope his wife has given up twitter for good otherwise he'll find his way out of Dallas pretty quick too.

 

[TRG]

I don't understand Bergevin and his plan.

He doesn't either.

 

[glenbuis]

I don't understand Bergevin and his plan.

Well he never really had much choice to move patyrn. I dont know if you heard but his wife made things particularly uncomfortable. In trading patyrn for benn he picks up a decent penalty killer / bottom pair defenceman who is in the top 25 in the league in blocked shots for a bottom pair defenceman . Marginal upgrade for a fourth round pick in a weakish draft. Other teams will not over pay for a patyrn in these circumstances. Benn can provide decent 16-18 bottom pair minutes a nite at 1.1 mil. Not the big trade we all wanted but not something anybody should get their panties in a knot over either. For those who want bergevin fired over this, keep in mind his hand was forced on this one.

 

[habs03]

Pateryn is almost waiver wire material. Ppl saying they should give me a chance, he was given a chance, he is 26 not 21-22. He is what his a depth dmen.

Claude Julien talked after tonight game about how he likes Benn game and he and Lindy Ruff had a chat about him this morning, so it seems like a move to get the new coach his type of player.

Benn talked about liking to play RD, and being a lefty he can play LD so it also gives more options.

 

[Unspecified]

Jordie Benn is better than patyrn.

Well that is not saying much then.

 

[Kojo]

That's what you get when your wife tweets.

 

[Dominator13]

Well that is not saying much then.

Exactly, but it's still a fact. Habs got better and a 4th pick to compensate is nothing. Benn allows Markov to rest more during PK duties, that's a heck of plus by itself.

 

[llamateizer]

That's what you get when your wife tweets.

and the player suck...

 

[oconnor9sean]

Hope Montreal is ready for the icing all-star of the NHL

 

[Agalloch]

Montreal fans overrated their players, Pateryn for sure is overrated around here. He's a bubble player in the lineup guy that could be in the AHL next year.
