Don't get why people get caught up in trading a 6th for a 7th for an AHL upgrade. A 6th vs. a 7th is zero difference, anything past the 3rd/4th round is a lottery ticket, you just want a bunch of them, doesn't matter what the exact pick is. Our players in Utica need scoring support and Perron is younger than Pyatt and was more effective last season. We also just traded down to add another 6th. Meh.
The infuriating deal was trading away the 1st.
the issue is it does not make a lot of sense. why would san jose want the bargaining rights for pyatt for a week. as for perron, we can get him as a ufa in a few days if san jose does not sign him or on waivers in september. he is not making the sharks. he is also unlikely to make the canucks meaning we could lose him.
seems like it might be related to the dahlen deal somehow.
Perron is 23. Pyatt is 32. Could be a total waste but we’re talking the difference between 6th and 7th round.

Don't get why people get caught up paying $0.25 more than they have to for their daily coffee. Like it's only a quarter, right? The point is those quarters add up.
There are supposed to be a lot of smart GMs. So to succeed, you have to grind it out. A quarter here, a quarter there, keep grinding. Benning doesn't agree with that. He treats every transaction like he is a multi millionare and it's no big deal to overpay a bit for something he wants.
But this isn't a quarter more. It's literally one cup of coffee for another cup of coffee. Christ.
