Speculation: One unamed NHL GM: “I’m trying to move out bad contracts so I can give out some more tomorrow.”

[Menzinger]

100% Kyle Dubas

Overpay everybody

Yeah he set league records with his Kapenen and Johnsson signings

 

[Blueangel1891]

Benning. Without a doubt.

 

[Huck Cheever]

Yeah he set league records with his Kapenen and Johnsson signings

Matthews
Tavares
Nylander
Marner eventually.

Going to be handcuffed by the cap

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Either a self-aware Jim Benning or Kyle Dubas or a sarcastic Don Waddell. Not sure which one it is.

 

[Dan Kelly]

lol

has Chia actually been hired somewhere??

 

[Jozay]

Bergevin

 

[backburner]

has to be the habs gm. moving a lot, about to buy out alzner

 

[DFC]

This sounds like something Holland would joke about

Yup. This is probably Holland.

Just curious as to what bad contract Benning has handed out? When LE was signed it was a signing 16 other teams were interested in doing. The fact it hasn't worked out isn't Bennings fault. A bad contract is one that will impede a team for along time LE and his cap hit will not cost the Nucks a chance at a player they want as we have 35 mill coming off the books before his contract even expires. He wont require a protection spot like lucic will. People who hat JB remind me of liberals. They believe everything they read and arecto lazy to actually do a little research and form their own opinion.

You realize no one cares how much money the Canucks can spend because of the race car driving on four flats of a franchise Benning has created, correct. Also just because there are 16 other people as stupid as you are doesn’t exactly mean you’re smart. I mean at least Benning was able to get rid of Gudbranson but that’s only because Rutherford might be stupider.

 

[Hockey Stick]

Yeah it's starting to seem like its Bergavin

You forgot

......then complain the Salary Cap and taxes are penalizing the Leafs.

 

[StephenPeat]

If we’re being objective even those certainly are not discounts.

Actually that fool almost single-handedly assured another work stoppage. He’ll eventually handcuff other GMs and the rest of the League By Proxie with those signings. The only person likely to be worse will be whoever signs Panarin to $12M+.

 

[BoWmEn]

I knew Gorton was too good to be be true. *sigh* Welcome back to GM Glen Sather...

 

[StephenPeat]

Bergevin? Can we make this a pool?

I was only half-joking when I posted this. Now, mere minutes later, I’m almost ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it’s correct.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

lol

is that you Jim Benning?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Who's Ken Holland Alex.

 

[Miri]

That sounds a bit like Chiarelli stuff two years ago:

Drafted Puljujarvi on 24th day of June
Didn't draft DeBrincat(McDavids former teammate) on 25th day
Traded Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson on 29th day
On 1st day of July signed Lucic for 7 years with 42 million dollar salary

What else is there to say, he was on the roll :-D

 

[Mandala]

An honest self-evaluation... Would be curious to know how many GMs share this view!

 

[ottawa]

Unamed GM: “I’m trying to move out bad contracts so I can give out some more tomorrow.”

*Deslauriers and Shaw traded*

Bergevin: Come on home Duchene

 

[Clayonator]

GMJB, Kenny HOF Holland or GMMB.

 

[lawrence]

So gord Miller who was pretty much absent from before the draft to now all of a sudden has a gm telling him he wants to give out more bad contracts ? Really? You guys believe this ?

 

[GaryU]

lol

Stan Bowman's mission statement.

 

[Number8]

Another.

Work.

Stoppage.

Absolutely. The Jenga blocks are wobbling and about to come crashing down.

No absolutely not. I don’t believe anything, ever.
