More 7th rounders yay! Actually it is awesome we got anything for an asset we weren't going to use.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

7th rounder wouldn't be bad if we'd actually use it on a bigtime faller.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? ****.

Poor decision to not sign him but I guess this is ok asset management to salvage something.

Will be very interested to follow his development.

 

[pahlsson]

surprised sharks gave up a pick now instead of waiting

handshake agreement already ? or maybe they just really like him

 

[luongo321]

Good. Get rid of that Harvard cheater.

 

[Foundational Player]

Sell low baby!!

 

[me2]

Nice upside for a 7th and closer to potential/NHL. Not long to wait to see if it works.

 

[Fa Ci La]

boy im not sure which 7th round pick is better

There's a high chance this is just an extra 7th rounder. Which is good. Looked like they were never going to sign him.

But there's the very odd chance of him turning out to be next Rafalski or something. He clearly has some talent. Would be devastating if that happens.

Is it? McNally is the type of player you would hope they take with this pick. Instead we'll get another Stewart to replace the current Stewart being moved to forward.

benning was so sick of the high hat from college boy

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

guess I'll have some more free time this year. Horvat is pretty much the only reason I have to follow this team.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

McNally's rights returned as much as Carl Soderberg's rights!

Like I said, poor decision not to sign him.

But I assumed that bad decision would be the end of things so am mildly pleasantly surprised to see us get something back at least.

So glad that 2010 draft is pretty much behind us with this trade . MCNally was a bad pick then and looks to be a worse one in hindsight

Was that our decision? Did McNally ever show interest in signing in Vancouver? Something never seemed right there...

Based on quotes from Benning, we had little to no interest in signing him. I have no idea what his position was.

The question is why? If the guys in management that were here when we drafted him wanted him signed, I have no doubt we would have signed him if McNally was willing.

 

[Ziostilon]

If and when McNally turns out to be a serviceable NHLer.
Benning is gonna have to answer the questions that will inevitably arise. Since he made it clear that he doesn't have room for McNally on his LD development depth chart

Benning answered that already. We can only develop so many players at once. McNally didn't make the cut.

“We are going to let him be a free agent,†Benning said. “We have got a lot of good young defencemen who we feel are ahead of him. With (Ben) Hutton and (Jordan) Subban being our two young offensive guys, we just felt we can only develop so many young defencemen at once.â€

Don't worry there's Sbisa, we totally got this D-corps thing set buddy.

Need more time to develop marginal defenseman prospect into a 4th line winger.

Seriously though, better than losing him for nothing (though not that much better).
