U still hoping Bennett can be a top6 guy?
Idk anymore...
Never been high on Kylington either
Also haven’t watched him or read anything about him in a few years though

So maybe not those exact guys (if it was up to me)... but a similar deal sounds reasonable

- jdfitz77

Bennett isn’t great, but he isn’t given the opportunities the other players from his draft class are

Career TOI average

Bennett - 14:47
Reinhart - 16:35
Draisaitl - 17:44
Ehlers - 16:40
Nylander - 16:18

Couple that with the fact that each of the other guys play with stars on their lines and I think it’s safe to say Bennett maybe hasn’t tapped his potential yet.

They were the Rockies prior and made 5 trades. So nJ and NYR have never but the franchise has. Still bizarre

Correct.

They wouldn't play their biggest hit for years because they thought that album was rubbish(i.e.: too commercial).

Much like Primus refusal to play Wanona's big brown beaver for years.

- dadeadhead


I can't really think of a song Primus is really known for. Fisticuffs maybe? Jerry was a Racecar Driver?

Interesting to see Lack getting traded to the Devils at the top of this attachment. The year we gave up a 1st for Lehner i wanted to give up a 3rd for Eddie Lack. We would have still had our 1st to use on player "X" and we would still be exactly where we are today - out of the playoffs.

Everyone on buffalo radio feels like the bills are going to take a step back. If tyrod is here, why can't we go 10-6?

We should be better, with all the picks

Luck was a big factor last year.

Wanona's big brown beaver was their biggest commercial success. They won a VMA for best music video if memory serves me.


Edit it was up for a Grammy and only Larry Lalonde showed up.

IMO Bennett will be a 20/20 guy over a full season and honestly kid has played 77, 81, and (as of now) 62 gp has n consecutive season. I'd rather take the lottery ticket on him than Shinkaruk.


Also the kid the Rags got has been a full timer in the KHL the past 2 years and is only 20. He's a b level prospect.

- dadeadhead



No doubt
I think i want the best defenseman prospect we can get for Kane though

With all the forward prospects we have coming, Bennett doesn’t do a lot for me
Not that he’s terrible
He looks like a good 3rd liner to me
Just hoping to get someone back with more upside

Ok, that’s fair
I wonder if he can be a 20 goal + 2nd line guy though?
If he caps off as a guy on line 3,
it’s unlikel he’d be able to get enough icetime to be that 20goal guy

And i also think we have a lot of guys coming who could be good 3rd liners

I don’t hate the idea
I’d just rather get a defenseman prospect with high upside instead

Like sbroads said he's not getting the opportunity do to the forwards being stacked. He's only getting like 14 mins a night.

IMO he for Kane in the lineup is a wash.

William Karlsson has done wonders at 25

just a body before this year

- homiedclown



Nah, if you're not killing it by 21 you're a total bust.

Fair enough

Since we are more likely to get a winger in the draft though,
I’m thinking it’s important to get the best defenseman prospect/young player as possible

I think he can get there. I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all.

He’s versatile. Can play some C/LW. Has 8 5 on 5 goals which is pretty good for 3rd line minutes.

I honestly think that could be a steal

Playing 18:30 minutes this year

Never played more than 14:30 in any other year.

South Park theme song!
Hahaha

Jerry was a race car driver is their most well known song I’d say

I’m not really much of a fan, but they’re alright
Saw them at RiotFest in Chicago a couple years ago

I think it’s safe to say that Bennett probably wants the chance to be a key player.

I’d bet he’d welcome a trade

Agree
Our stats say we should’ve finished with more like 6 wins

Turnovers played a big role

We’ve still got work to do

I'd welcome it too.

Kid has speed, grit, and has shown he can score in a limited role.
