Just curious but if Philly waives McKenna do we still have the option of claiming him and sending him straight to the minors?
Is the paperwork sorted?
Yeah but like 29 other teams can tooJust curious but if Philly waives McKenna do we still have the option of claiming him and sending him straight to the minors?
Interesting take by Ferraro on this:

Ferraro is almost always bang on with his takes on this team. Wouldn't mind him being the GM at all.
I don't think for most people it's an issue of a seventh rounder being so valuable. It's really about the incompetence management is displaying, yet again. As well as the principle of the situation.Without pointing fingers at any particular side, it's kind of funny how the value of a seventh rounder seems to have changed around here relative to the Del Zotto deal.

Imagine you were at a poor-paying job, and had little disposable income. You're walking in the park and someone dressed in nicer clothes than you comes up to you and says "hey why don't you give me some money". You say "How much?" "Well... $5". "Why?" "I'll give you what you need. What is it?" "Well, I've been looking for some kind of walking stick for almost a month."
He picks a stick up off the ground that has a little bit of dog poo on it. "Give me $10". You think about it hard for 10 seconds and reply "that's what I need, that's a good deal!"
The $10 is not going to cripple you, even with your low salary. It's going to have almost no effect in the long run. But you had a month to find a stick, and even now there were many other sticks on the ground. And the one he gives you has dog poo on it. Why then should you give away any money for it?
Benning would have traded a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a goalie if the draft wasn't in Vancouver. The more details that come out about this situation the worse it gets.
That's called blowing a quote out of proportion. It's not what he said at all but you believe what you want to
It's pretty explicit. This isn't a case of misinterpreting a quote. And if it is....then it just proves what a simpleton ****ing moron Benning is.
He never says if we weren't hosting the draft we would have done it. He is just placing an emphasis on not trading picks in the host year

I don't know what it is but I can't stand him............he just comes across as such a weenie.........really having a hard time liking him......
Lol, you have got to be kidding me.
Benning made a trade without getting Ottawa to waive the guy we were acquiring for the AHL first, or keeping him around until Philly/Toronto weren’t in a goaltending crisis. So we lost the organizational asset we needed. Oops.
He then went 5 weeks in the middle of the season with only 2 goalies in the organization and then was predictably bitten in the ass, forced to embarrass a completely unready teenager, blew a game in the middle of a playoff run, and was then forced to basically give away the pick he acquired in the initial trade in the first place.
It’s a complete, embarrassing cluster**** and even organizational shills like IMac are giving it to them for it.
But hey, you’ll defend anything! Benning could get drunk and plow his car into a group of pedestrians and you’d blame them for standing in the wrong place.
You're at least not understanding the context. Botchford was on 1040 this morning and explained that what Benning did was ask Cloutier and or Clark for a list of goalies to target and Benning was going by that list. Some players on that list, teams were asking for a 2nd or 3rd round picks for. What Botchford took issue with was was why didn't Benning go back to them and tell them he wants a list of cheaper guys and why he keeps talking about making moves based on whether the whether the draft was held in Vancouver, which to me are fair comments.
The point is that the "list" referenced were provided by Cloutier and or Clark and Benning was calling teams about goaltenders on that list. The fact that some goalies on that list had expensive price tags does not prove anything other than they might be pretty good goalies that teams value. Benning ultimately ended up trading a 7th for a goalie presumably on that list, which is about as expensive of a price as Canucks fans want to see Benning pay to address what is hopefully a short-term situation.
