Cheap but would prefer Addison over him. Assuming he's going to get playing time over Addison.

 

[wonton15]

Solid 7th D. If he’s consistently in your top 6 thats an issue but he’s good enough to fill in. Seems like a character dude too.

 

[Vitto79]

Well he got a job and can spare mostly

WTF? Guerin really hates young players, I guess. Loves aging, untalented ones.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

He'll be watching from the pressbox most nights with Addison likely joining the bottom pairing this season.

Yes. He really does hate young players. Absolutely.

Not sure what you mean with that he loves aging , untalented ones since we all age at the same speed regardless if we are young or old.

MN already has Brodin, Spurgeon, Dumba , Goligoski, Kulikov, Merrill, and now Benn. Addison will be in the AHL, unless he is outstanding in training camp. Guerin has chosen to go with big, plodding vets rather than youth.

Nope. Guerin has now signed 3 plodding third pairing guys to one way deals. Addision is AHL bound

i can definitely see a trade of dumba to montreal to ease the log jam and save some cap .

 

[rynryn]

we're trading someone for sure.
right? RIGHT?!

 

[nstarjim]

But WHY?!?!

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Why is this an issue?

 

[Royale With Cheese]

His beard alone is worth $600,000 so really you're just paying him $300,000 to play hockey.

 

[larmex99]

I think that I speak for most Jets fans when I say FANTASTIC! Best of luck Jordie.

 

[rynryn]

Why is this an issue?

only thing i can think of is that's $900,000 we can't give to Kirill .

That’s a huge deal breaker

Umm why? Because wild signed a player vet to 1 year deal? If he hated young players, Calen addison wouldn't have played in crucial playoff games in RD1

 

[rynryn]

That’s a huge deal breaker

i hope not. but it's almost a million so could be?

 

[De Montreal]

He was not my favorite in Montréal but he is fine as a number 6/7 guy really

 

[rynryn]

I don't believe anyone is upset with him as a pickup tbh. We were looking for a little mean on the team.

 

[Kryten]

Another Benning/Aquilini/Weisbrod special, paid accordingly finally

 

[BWJM]

Jordie Benn is going to play for all 32 teams at this rate.
