Love the tidiness here

Remember some grumbling over myrenberg? We move two irrelevant players to give a guy a chance. Didnt work out so get back a relevant young defenceman and a draft choice.

Sign me up to this all day long. The concept of cut your losses is like nibbling my ear - manage the business - that is what was done here

These little moves excite me probably more than they should because they show process
All the smaller accumulative wins definitely excite me a lot too. Its how you build a contender. Benning would have hung onto Studnicka forcing him in top minutes that detract from actual prospects until his contract expired and then let him walk for nothing, or overpaid him for no reason

I don't know if "excites" me is the word but it's really satisfying to see it happen and the nerd in me likes it even though I know these small wins likely won't amount to anything.

I like to think of it as Beauvillier/Studnicka/5th for Lafferty/5th/6th.

I think a lot of posters here high key had that suspicion, and / or straight up loudly speculated it. :laugh:

I have always guessed this to be the case. A former scout at the very least. I been waiting for this guy to slip up...we know he is an English soccer fan.

Just like how some of us figured out Weisbrod's burner account on here...which ceased all activity from December 2021 onwards.

Ha, yeah, definitely not!

That argument where Weisbrod got riled up in a Jankowski discussion and forgot to refer to himself in the 3rd person and came back with a ‘No I didn’t!’ and then promptly deleted the post and left the discussion was great, though.

See that is EXACTLY what someone who is/used to be a successful pro scout and is now laying low would say!

Is there a screenshot/archive of this somewhere? I remember seeing it as it happened but I can't remember exactly how it went down. Would be good for the lols.

I think most of that stuff got deleted in a server migration a while back.

I think the whole discussion ended up being mostly deleted almost immediately, unfortunately.

Ha I wish I knew how to toss a resume to the pro scouting department because I should be getting paid if they keep acquiring the guys I like.

I don't watch the AHL, but Cicek's stats have declined. Still like the trade though. We get a pick for what is for us an AHL for AHL trade. Good for Studnicka as he will probably get a chance to play on an NHL roster
