Definitely time to trade Benning before his value drops. Get draft picks for him, I don't care

Benning for future considerations would be a win.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Final minute.. still time for another goal against.

 

[McTedi]

Great game, yawn

 

[cpsman]

Benning for future considerations would be a win.

would you consider a bag of pucks in the future?

 

[CycloneSweep]

And that's fine, he's still a young player. But I am positive he'll be on the team some time this year.

He is probably our... 9th best defender? First shot to show the new coaching staff what you got and he looks like trash.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Such a lame game, even for preseason

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Goaltending really let the whole team down tonight.

Everyone else played good except benning.

 

[Heavy Dee]

My daily 'Benson is trash' post.

 

[Del Preston]

You bet.

 

[Oilhawks]

Our defense is still a tire fire. Why did we buy out Sekera again?

4 of the best D are sitting tonight, no?

 

[thadd]

We have had much worse d-men than Benning over the years and I wouldn't be shocked if he got waived at this point. Someone might actually pick him up.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Hopefully the boys don't go into "not this shit again" mode and switch off for the rest of the year.

This, it's only gotten worse :|

 

[McShogun99]

We iced an AHL lineup minus Neal and Chaisson. Wasn’t expecting much from this game.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Klefbom still played. The entire D looked like garbage and Benning was terrible.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Benson, Jones, Bear, Lowe, Benning, Malone should be waived after tonight

 

[nexttothemoon]

Not sure who looked decent this game...

Marody was ok and I thought Samorukov was ok as well.

 

[TheNumber4]

Benning's been garbage since day 1. The mere fact that we have a player of his skill level on this team speaks VOLUMES as to how absolutely horrible this team has been managed. How the HELL does no one see that this kid can barely skate, has no skill, and is a complete fake at the big league level. Get this turd off the team already so that we have another spot open for a real player. Disgusting.

while this is true, one would really like to see someone step up. our record in the past few seasons with an nhl (kinda) roster kinda makes that an imperative.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Well yeah, most are AHLers and rookies

 

[walktheboulavard]

Yeah I disagree. He's already been on a much higher level than the preseason and performed well in a 3rd pairing role. But sure make assessments of a couple of preseason games.

really though?

He is here because his dad Brian and Kevin Lowe are tight. End of story

That's what Tippett has to look at. He has an opportunity to step up and claim a spot and he isn't even trying. He obviously is showing bad in camp too or he would be getting better opportunities. Klefbom, Larsson, Nurse, Russell, Lagesson, Bouchard, Samorukov, Persson are all better than him
