It'll be interesting to see what GB can get for St.Louis and Streit. I had them on the block for a few weeks and had basically no legitimate offers. Only one person even seemed semi-seriously interested.

[burlingtonbandit]

Is Beau Bennett that good? I mean he would have been a borderline keeper for me and he wasn't even taken during the main league draft. Then again, what do I know about hockey

Talent Analysis

 

Bennett is an offensively creative winger who is most effective when the puck is on his stick. He has the ability to carry the puck up ice, run the powerplay from the half-boards, play the point, and possesses a hard and accurate repertoire of shots. He is also quite adept at creating open ice.

 

"[bennett] is a guy who you maybe look to get opportunities to see what he can do in offensive roles," Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma said of the winger. "Not necessarily a guy who's going to race up and down the ice with his speed, but just his hands, his ability to create space, (and) ability to get his shot off is fairly evident in seeing him. You envision that in him as a pro player."

 

Top 6 forward on the Penguins, soon.

He has 2nd line / power play unit upside which could mean great things in Pittsburgh, but injuries have really stalled his development and any type of reasonable outlook has him probably playing mostly 3rd line minutes in the short term (rest of this year + start of next year).

 

The Pens staff talk about the creativity/offense that he brings to the 3rd line but also the defensive influence that he brings to the 2nd line with Malkin... who really knows. He'll probably just get hurt again and I'll end up cutting him after 2015/16.

The guy is seriously injury prone as well. I dangled guys like him and Coyle and nobody valued those guys at all in trades. I picked him up off waivers back in October. Nobody even drafted him during the regular draft. Knowing my luck though, probably comes back to bite me.

2 injuries in Hockey isn't prone man, physical sport.

Snake Oil Salesman...

 

I think you'll comfortably win this deal being a Dynasty and all. If he had re-curring injuries I could slap the prone on him, but....

I don't even know what injuries he's had tbh. I remember he had surgery, and this year he had the mumps lol.

Did you confirm that deal with Goldbull involving 7254625 players?

didn't realize we did that on PB midseason

He f***ed up his wrist that spread into a couple seasons, IIRC, he's basically getting his first real shot this season, I missed him on the wire amongst a handful of others....derp!

[The Cats Ass]

We don't. But that seems to be the only place people are posting them.

 

I happened to login one day and saw a bunch of trades backlogged.

The other 19 teams passed up on Beau during the draft. Including you as well

 

I was trying to dangle some of my young guys like Bennett, Coyle, Nieto, Sekac and others and didn't get any interest whatsoever. Considering we only have 15 keepers, Bennett was on the borderline for me keeping. But yeah, NJH likely wins this deal in the future if he plans on keeping Beau.

I'm self admitted, I missed him.

When he was on the block, where were you haha

[The Cats Ass]

I've just added in waiver picks to the spread sheet. Remember, those are trade-able also.

[Spanky99]

Didn't know, tbh.

[GD]

Looking to package waiver picks + young forwards.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm guessing NJH is loving Parise right about now (even though he was talking smack about Parise to me last month). Just an underrated, borderline elite forward.

I don't think I ever chirped Parise. More so the decision to trade G for him.

Right, except you apparently forgot that I also got Pavelski and Byfuglien in that deal, and won a championship as a result.

 

Still, love Parise.
