So in return for replacing Nilsson with Mazanec and ventilating diPietro, we upgraded from a 7th to a 6th round pick?

What are the difference in odds between a 7th round pick making the NHL vs a 6th round pick?

Is there an opportunity cost to management spending time moving laterally back and forth?

Or for this management group, is it an opportunity benefit, where wasting time on undoing lateral moves prevents them from making their usual bad move?

also held salary and took on more salary from pyatt.

Have no issue with this. Obviously wish it was handled better from the start, but they basically just upgraded their 2020 7th into a 2019 6th.

And of course giving up the 7th doesn't matter, it's a nothing pick and I don't even care that we made a trade instead of just signing another contract for free

It is the whole process of everything that happened here. Just an odd amount of incompetency that should have been solved right after McKenna was claimed or at least right after Demko went down. No need for any of this stuff to happen, optics are just terrible on this one

I'm glad they finally figured it out but God man

The nucks were obviously hoping Philly would waive one of their goalies, and when they sent down Elliott for a conditioning stint, they needed to fill the gap. Weisbrodding.

What does this mean for contract slots? Does this hurt them if they wanted to bring in Hughes?

Hilarious it took embarassing a prized 19 year old kid in front of the whole league to get any urgency out of the group.

It took him 12 hours to acquire a goalie. Something he had all month to do.

Jim Benning is like me back in school when I would start my assignments two hours before the deadline, even though it was assigned weeks before.

hey man I once started my assignment half a day...

AFTER the deadline.

Imagine that huh...

Yes, let’s just ignore that the endgame in all of this was giving Demko a much needed promotion to the bigs. Boy oh boy, Benning sure is dumb for not having a crystal ball to predict Demko’s injury.

The Nilsson trade was fine. Waiving McKenna was fine. Waiting to see if McKenna goes back on waivers is defensible.

The breaking point had to be the Demko injury. That's when this trade should have been made.

Hopefully they didn't play Markstrom when he shouldn't have played that triggered this injury. If so, this mistake is way more costly than a future 7th.
