Injury Report: M*A*S*H* 4077th Is Calling - Triage Has Been Overrun.

[Jamieh]

We can't afford to mortgage the house for one player, regardless of position.

I don't remember suggesting That??? But now with that I will add I would trade every winger we have for a top 10 Leaguewide Center. It's much easier to fill in around the center than it is to make up for the center with wingers.

 

[Mangosteen]

No can do. We are not deep enough to absorb such trade. We a very thin as it is. I don't want to trade a 1st, Hayton and whom ever else, unless that someone is AM, and even then it could cripple us. I would rather sign Duchene and keep our assets.

Do you think we have enough leadership and character to add someone like Duchene? To get him in a Yotes jersey we would have to overpay and then be stuck with his contract.

I just really can't see our sales pitch to a high end free agent??

Off the ice **** show is the CEO talking smack about players, not those individual players having off ice issues. And FTR I hardly count anonymous internet board as factual.

It’s not internet board. It’s in the Athletic.

What article talks about Benn being an off ice problem or a shit show? I can't seem to find one.

Oh sorry. I thought you meant this second round of Stars execs shooting off at the mouth.

No! Duchene would be a very bad fit, here. Benn is exactly what we need. Someone who’s a legit star and actually has a backbone.

No problem, I was just answering the poster last page who seemed to be saying Benn has off ice issues. I don't believe that to be true.

 

[Jakey53]

It’s fantastic after his next bonus. I’m just repeating things here. Cash and Cap aren’t the same.

I'm more worried about the length of his contract. He's at his peak now and his production will most likely start to decline when we would need him most. I mean, it could be a good deal, but it could cripple us going forward.

I’d like to see this team of one actual player. It’s been so long.

I think Duchene would be a good ft here, but so would Benn. I just hate these long term contracts, and if you look around the league all these GM's get in trouble with these contracts.

Duchene has huge character red flags. No thanks.

I have not heard. What are they?

How do you feel about the OEL contract?

 

[rt]

I have not heard. What are they?

Being a pain in the ass is basically what he’s most famous for.

 

[Jakey53]

How do you feel about the OEL contract?

Factoring in age, position and supporting cast, I think it is fine. I would have preferred a little less, but he was drafted by us so that may have been factored in.

Compare age to Benn and get ready to be surprised at contract end ages. Then take a look at monies owed for each year of contract. Benn looks better than OEL going forward contract wise.

Benn 36, OEL 34. Usually D mature later, their decline is usually later and play longer. Monies owed is a wash, but OEL plays a much more difficult position. I just think Benn has more of a chance to decline at a faster rate than OEL, and like you said, it's much easier to build around a C than a winger. Benn is one hell of a player, and he may continue his play until he is 36, but I don't like his chances. IF Dallas would retain a smidge the last two years, then it would be a different story.

It’s a back diving contract and he should be worth the actual cash to the very end. Benn’s CapHit is problematic. His salary is great. That’s what matters for us.

Check your math both will be 35 at end of contract. Ben's has the advantage of paying out more faster, so monies owed are nowhere near equal at comparable ages.

 

[Jakey53]

No.

Was he one of the players in the Uber cab? No sure if he was or even if it was Senators players, but I thought that was funny.

You are correct.

Yes. Duchene and Chris Wideman. Great example as to how he's a pain in the ass. He shit talked Colorado after the trade as well. Hard pass on him.
