Benning is a genius

Pretty sweet deal but I am still waiting to hear that they should have traded him and brought in DiPietro

NFL Draft tomorrow

If you want to see a gunslinger GM watch John Schneider from the Seahawks. Watch and learn JB

Wait...did he get a NMC?

they didn't say in the release, but he is a RFA after the deal is done.

He turns 30 in a couple of weeks so there's your answer. I know the "playoffs asap" crowd doesn't like that answer, but Benning should be focused on acquiring players that will peak with EP/Hughes/Boeser

Lol I legit dont know whether or not a rfa that is coming out of an ELC can get a NMC or not.

Benning Press Release for Demko Signing:

"well you know, he has a real good release on his shot, heavy on pucks, good on the forecheck. We think hes going to be a real good forward, I mean, defenseman for us moving forward"

Trade Clauses can only be applied after RFA years are over. As an example, if a player signs an 8 year deal after his ELC, the RFA years have no clauses, but the UFA years can have clauses.

Another stellar job Carol ty
You are simply the best👍

Would you trade for Subban now if he was available?
- fubtastik

No overrated & overpriced. EK has more of a winner about him even given his defensive deficiencies.

expediting the rebuild, and filling holes by creating others is always more fun

Ya lol might need to take a break from the Pro-Patriots NFL. Becoming a bit of a joke.

Back to the BC Lions!!

Seahawks and Pats continue to exploit the value of trading down in NFL drafts and then people every year wonder "where do they keep finding these rookies??"
- Nucker101

In here so many ppl value the # of the pick & not who is picked. That is why tankists know shlt & usually never provide in depth prospect lists. Very few here do their homework & state the reasons for those not obvious top picks. They get shot down. Those same tankists blame JB for everything finding any reason to defend their stance. I’ve proposed trading down many times if the trade gets the desired return so scouts & Brackett & Benning can unearth the later pick gems that happens in every draft. That is where i will agree with ppl that more picks ups the odds of rebuilding faster & better. I also stated more picks means more contracts & quantity over quality is not the answer. To further delve into my contradiction not all picks should be signed. Furthermore drafting USHL/USNDP/Euros allows for sliding ELC’s to allow more time to develop & assess them at a later time. In the end projecting 17-18yr olds is an inexact science but putting faith in the JB’s is where we place our hopes & rightfully so.

I don't have time for football. Too busy planning the parade.

If our CIAU gave out sports scholarships like the NCAA it would add one more tier of player development for our country. It could be the beginning to rival the USHL & USNDP & NCAA. The CHL is ok but it is watered down without providing the best of competition. The CIAU could eventually become more of a Super league. It would allow BCHL type players a place to go rather than feed the NCAA.
