Confirmed with Link: [MTL/DAL] Habs Acquire Jordie Benn for Pateryn and a 4th

[Adriatic]

How many useless threads about a bunch of 6/7 defensemen will there be about this trade lol. Let's hear the overreaction!!

 

[Rockomax]

I am happy. I think we got the upgraded player and lost a minor pick.

Not much of an upgrade, if at all

 

[The Nightman]

Pateryn IS garbage.

Ever see Jordie play?

 

[Habssince89]

So...

Markov
Emelin
Beaulieu
Benn

I doubt Bergevin would trade for a #7, does this mean Beaulieu/Emelin will be dealt?

Article comparing him Oduya, if anyone cares.

 

[Belial]

Beaulieu is on the block IMO!

 

[David Suzuki]

Everyone here acting like they're an expert on Jordie Benn

how many of you saying this is awful have even seen him play other then against the Habs?

 

[missthenet]

uh... lol why

scoring goals? the problem is solved now. lol

 

[Playmaker09]

Ever see Jordie play?

He's a NHL caliber defenseman. Pateryn is not.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I think it's just insurance as a cheap option if Emelin is taken in the expansion draft.

If acquiring Jordie freaking Benn = trading Beaulieu, even for a rental like Shattenkirk, I will not be happy lol.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

scoring goals? the problem is solved now. lol

Huh? I think you're confusing Jordie with his brother. The one that's actually good.

 

[Agalloch]

My guess... Emelin plays on the 3rd pair ?

Markov-Weber
Benn-Petry
Beaulieu-Emelin
Nesterov

 

[WeThreeKings]

Awful, pick went the wrong way.

 

[peate]

Pateryn was OK but a turnover machine, plus his wife's tweets kinda did him in in Montreal. We'll see how Benn does here before judging him.

 

[lamp9post]

Benn is not worth Pateryn & a pick

Dump young players & picks for depth veterans who won't be here long... typical MB move

Pateryn ain't so young and Benn has 2 years left on his contract at a reasonable cap-hit.

 

[Habs4Life]

He's a NHL caliber defenseman. Pateryn is not.

not really fair since Pateryn was never really given a fair shot.

 

[The Nightman]

He's a NHL caliber defenseman. Pateryn is not.

They're both on the same level, I'd argue Pateryn is even better, less mistake prone and less of a bone head in his own zone.


Pateryn was probably unsettled and wanted out.

 

[FireBurningBin]

Pateryn was OK but a turnover machine, plus his wife's tweets kinda did him in in Montreal. We'll see how Benn does here before judging him.

Pateryn gives up less turnovers on average than the rest of the defensive corps.

 

[CrazyShea]

We get Jordie Benn and hfboards crashes lol. This site will not work wednesday. Also bye beaulieu

 

[eklund the clown]

Who?? Bargain Bin strikes again.Plan the parade.

 

[Zorba]

My guess... Emelin plays on the 3rd pair ?

Markov-Weber
Benn-Petry
Beaulieu-Emelin
Nesterov

Hahhaah. Benn is not a 2nd pair damn. Cmon man. Seriously

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Benn is better than Pateryn and left d-man too. The 4th is nothing.

Lol Benn is putrid, Pateryn is better and this clown added a 4th round pick.

 

[Et le But]

Benn was awful last I checked but I haven't followed Dallas closely so maybe he got better. Minor move but not really sure about it.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Mb's big trade folks. Hello first round exit

 

[void]

Guys, relax. It's nothing more or less than a lateral move. I prefer Pateryn but he wanted out, so it is what it is.

Edit: really not sure why they also gave up a 4th for him tho... ?
