Sam Bennett somehow got more than Taylor Hall.

Crazy market for these average players.

Benn and Sutter better get dealt

Bennett got the equivalent of two 2nds. I have no faith in Benning. Is he even trying?

Ben Hutty to the Leafs. Even Gudbranson somehow got moved. Did we actually not trade Benn?

They did not trade Benn, Sutter or Edler. That was foreseen.

The only unknown was Virtanen. Which they seem reluctant to double down on that mistake in 2014.

Benn the most likely guy to have been moved after Pearson signed. Edler/Hamonic have NMC and coming off Covid, are unlikely to want to get moved, which I can't blame them.

Leaves Sutter and Benn. Sutter having symptoms so likely teams scared off by his potential recovery and how well he would perform. So, eliminates him.

Benn was on the Covid list to begin the season, and was not added to this outbreak.

Should have been able to get a 4th/5th for him.

Happy that Benn was traded but should have gotten a 5th and retain salary. WTF is up with the Madison Bowey trade. If they weren't going to expose Myers to the expansion draft they could have picked up insurance like Chicago did with Bowey and reportedly something the Canucks had considered.

Sigh...

I think we freed up about 1.5M in capspace for the remainder of the season. We should try to snag a goalie off waivers and get DiPietro games in Utica

Caps got fleeced. Would’ve traded Boeser for the same return straight up and he’s twice the player mantha is.

Amazing deal for Detroit. I'd rather have Vrana than Mantha, and Stevie got a 1st and a second even if he had to take back Panik.

Normally I'd be on Benning's case for not doing these small cap space freeing moves like Benn weeks in advance back in February, but it's probably a silver lining. Had we been more proactive with our assets at that time, Benning could have potentially spread Covid to the entire league.
