Because they have talked multiple times over the years about loving big physical defensemen. That would be why... obviously.

I dont backread or pay as much attention to who people like. I only really know who cernak needs to take a restraining order out on and that's it.

Oh Jesus. Terrible. I bet Jim asked for Arizona’s first this year as well
- NewYorkNuck

Guess we don't need to watch the draft today..

Arizona is broke. Cap hit money maybe, but I can't see any significant real dollars going back. That's the whole point of them wanting of for OEL.

True....Benning is so (frank)ing desperate.

Friedman reporting 9oa, LE, Beagle and roussel

For Garland and OEL
- Codes1087

That's interesting..... lots of dump heading their way.
Trade Schimidt for anything close to what Risto got in picks and that might work.
Still hate losing the first though.

I think Jim was afraid of having any sort of cap space for the GM next season.

Dim Jim doesn't even know what day tomorrow is, let alone what his cap space will be next year lol

I find it funny

You have to laugh at this point that this franking idiot takes on a mammoth contract and gives up a top 10 pick

Got to love that he doesn’t even play the right side

This guys roster coonstruction is so embarrassing

Didn't watch a single game last year, probably won't this year too.

Roussel, Beagle and LE would have all been off the books anyway.

Haha exactly! Stood pat for last several years ... one more year to sewer and hold pat and then take on someone else's problem for many more years.

Benning!!!!

To be fair...our Left side only sucks a little less than our right side.

top 6 winger and top pairing dman, bad deals all off the books. I (frank)ing love it!

Anything confirmed yet

I'm good with the deal, let's now see what we get for Schmidt

Wonder how the Benning Bros are gonna spin this one lol

That said hopefully there’s more to it than just reported

OEL does not have top pairing stats.

Roussel, Beagle and LE would have all been off the books anyway.
- Codes1087

Exactly, they could of had cap space. Now they probably just added 13M to the book for next season.

Someone else has to be moved. Now have to sign Petey, Hughes, Garland, D!ckinson.

Unless AZ retains they are going to take on salary in this deal.
