So we all agree. A team needs top picks to be a legitimate contender for the cup.

Go get that top pick Benning by ensuring your team finishes in the bottom three!

May not happen next year, but I'm guessing it will happen in the next two to three years.

You also need that Norris level D-man

The second pick in next years draft is as highly touted as Ekblad

forgot his name.

Jacob Chycerun could easily go ahead of Austin mathews. Think Reinhart/ekblad

Benning: “We’re going to look at some options on defence (in free agency) and we’ll see where it goes,” said Benning. “I think if we can add another defenceman with mobility, one who can transition the puck so we spend less time in our own end, that would be the No. 1 thing for me.

With Bieksa gone, he already accomplished part of that.

ZING!

I know I have harped on this way too long, but that stretch when Edler and Bieksa were out with injury showed us all we need to know.

This is addition through subtraction. I didn't miss him then. I won't miss him now.

My whole argument over the past three months is why wait? What's the benefit of holding on for a season or two?

The bandage analogy works here. Take it off quickly. Don't be a puzzy by doing it slowly. The faster it's off the quicker the pain goes away.

Because you have NMC/NTC's to deal with AND it takes someone actually wanting your older players to make a deal. You can't just cancel contracts...unless you're a drug dealer

Letting makes 8.5
Crosby 9.0
Malkin 9.5
Kessel 8.0

I know and my perspective is that of a fan, not a hockey insider.

But I got to believe that if bieksa can fetch a late 2nd rounder then our other NTC players can be persuaded to be a bit more flexible and accept a trade.

O'Reilly signs with BUF. Two year deal at $700K per. One way deal. That's CAL O'Reilly, Ryan's older brother. Guess we know who's next.

Everybody is getting better. Van is getting worse. 1.75 for a guy who got 4 points. And now Kassian gone, so a bit more size oh wait the only size just left Van.

People need to understand we need to get worse before we get better. Relax, we aren't making the playoffs the next 2-3 years...but that's a good thing.

It's just too bad we overachieved and made the playoffs last year.
