oh my ****ing god

 

[King of Anarchy]

Welp. I'm pretty damn dejected right now.

 

[LaVar]

Terrible...

 

[Ace of Hades]

I hate this ownership, and everything about this team right now. Lack must be upset and dejected as much we are.

Sources and links please?

 

[just22]

There's the Jim Benning we all know and love.

[JuniorNelson]

Panic move.

 

[nuckfan insk]

Really Jim really ?????

 

[MS]

Absolutely horrible. What a disgrace.

Fire these idiots. Total incompetence.

Wrong decision. Laughable return. What a joke.

 

[nameless1]

Wow.
I just typed that I was surprised he did not bleed asset.
I spoke too soon.

 

[dave babych returns]

Wow, multiple picks! A year from now we're going to get TWO chances at the guys the entire league passed on six times!

 

[DCantheDDad]

Fire Benning. Fire Benning out of a cannon. This is rediculous.

 

[TraderJim]

This guy has no clue how to trade. Worst trading GM we have ever had.

 

[Fa Ci La]

Panic move.

panic move would have been realising there's no value in trading Lack (and what a shock that is...), so trading Markstorm instead and trying to pretend he didn't kick Eddie to the curb. I don't know what the **** this is. "Worse than Sbisa" maybe?


You know, I thought this when we signed Miller, and I'm thinking it again now: Jim Benning was the only person in hockey who didn't ****ing follow the Lu-Cory saga. Because how could someone who followed that whole thing make signing a big deal to a goalie one of his first moves? And how could he then next season think he could get reasonable value for the goalie he has to trade

 

[DadBod]

That is absolutely terrible value. Why even trade him if that's what you're getting?

 

[Colton2233]

3rd round pick in a deep draft I like the trade... Lack was never going to lead us to a Stanley Cup. Too many goalies are available to get a bidding war..

Don't ever love a player only like him.... I get lack was funny and seemed like one of your buddies but he's a middle tier goalie. Maybe the 3rd rd pick will lead Nucks to a cup one day IDK but I do know Lack would of never done it

 

[biturbo19]

What.

That's a terrible return, and also, why the Hurricanes? They've already got a pair of NHL goaltenders under contract next year.

 

[Tim McCracken]

That's it, eh? Well if Talbot gets a 2nd and/or more, I don't blame those crapping on Benning. I understand it takes two to tango but he needed to extract a 2nd somehow.

 

[dave babych returns]

Fire Benning. Fire Benning out of a cannon. This is rediculous.

Fire Benning into the Sun.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

****ty. But we'll see who's available at that pick. Early third round we could still get a good player. But oh my.

 

[pitseleh]

Jesus, this is incredibly stupid. I can't even begin to imagine the logic that gets you to this end. Ugh.
