@SanJoseSharks: #SJSharks acquire defenseman Patrick McNally from Vancouver in exchange for the 210th pick in the 2015 #SharksDraft. http://t.co/5y8Y6wcqvm
Poor decision to not sign him but I guess this is ok asset management to salvage something.
Will be very interested to follow his development.

Is it? McNally is the type of player you would hope they take with this pick. Instead we'll get another Stewart to replace the current Stewart being moved to forward.

Like I said, poor decision not to sign him.
Was that our decision? Did McNally ever show interest in signing in Vancouver? Something never seemed right there...
Based on quotes from Benning, we had little to no interest in signing him. I have no idea what his position was.
The question is why? If the guys in management that were here when we drafted him wanted him signed, I have no doubt we would have signed him if McNally was willing.
“We are going to let him be a free agent,†Benning said. “We have got a lot of good young defencemen who we feel are ahead of him. With (Ben) Hutton and (Jordan) Subban being our two young offensive guys, we just felt we can only develop so many young defencemen at once.â€
If and when McNally turns out to be a serviceable NHLer.
Benning is gonna have to answer the questions that will inevitably arise. Since he made it clear that he doesn't have room for McNally on his LD development depth chart
Need more time to develop marginal defenseman prospect into a 4th line winger.Benning answered that already. We can only develop so many players at once. McNally didn't make the cut.
