Wings fans voted on their top 20 prospects at HF this summer and he didn’t make it lol


This feels like a favour to Biega, I can’t imagine that the Canucks actually want Pope. Wings probably wanted Biega but wanted to lose a contract slot.


JB doing Biega a solid, plus the Comets have too many “vets” and the AHL has a vet limit.

Sounds about right.

Biega is the type of player I wish JB could get a little more in return for. Diaz to the Rangers for a 5th rings a bell. Or even MDZ for a 7th or 6th can't remember.

I'm sure he is fun to be around but I agree. This is about being a professional athlete not a party animal.

Benning also said a strong camp by Brisebois, Chatfield and Raffy's poise, he wanted them to play big minutes and in all situations

I thought the NHL was run by a bunch of b!tches who give no sh!ts except when it comes to making money.

...well it ain't got nothing on the NBA. What a bunch of pathetic commie slurpers.

Look into Darryl morrey and the Houston Rockets.

I might start complaining about Biega just to see you lose your poop. Boston v Detroit in the ECF, the two titans of hockey battle it out, Gaunce v Biega!

I'm happy for him. I always liked Biega, glad he's going somewhere he's got more of a chance at ice time now that we finally have some modicum of depth at Defense.

He belongs in the Ring of Honour. One of the most selfless defensemen this team has ever had. I hope they pay tribute with a lengthy video display on opening night. It would have been nice to see him hand the C to Bo.

There's no need to be frustrated or to vent here. That's not what we're about.

Why? I dont see why every deal needs to have some arbitrary draft pick value to satisfy the fans.

This trade, pure and simple, was to get Biega on a team where he could play. The return was irrelevant. Im sure JB wouldve given him away if he could, but alas, Detroit needed to clear a contract to fit him him.

This should be the one deal where you sit back and say "who cares". JB did a solid. Good on him for being a class act. Doesnt hurt the team....

You realize obtaining draft picks isn't one of JB's strong suits right?
