Thread: Time to overpay and trade poorly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tylerstenson</b></div><div>His name is Jim Benning and he is just as bad if not worse!</div></div>

Trust me no one is worse than Murray. Here is a quick recap:
Drafts:
2014 Draisaitl was taken directly after Reinhart, none his other 8 picks have made an impact in the NHL (Lemieux has 13 NHL goals and Olofsson may make it the NHL)
2015 Other than Eichel none of his other 5 picks have made an impact (Guhle may eventually but was traded so Buffalo will receive nothing for him)
2016 Sergachev was taken directly after Nylander, none his other 9 picks have made an impact in the NHL
Trades:
2nd for Gorges
McCabe and 2 seconds for Fasching and Deslauriers
Pysyk for Kulikov
Myers for Bogosian
A third for the rights to an unproven college player Vesey, by contrast it only cost a 5th to have the rights to Hayes.
A first for Lehner and taking cap dump Legwand. At the time of the trade Lehner was the Sens #3 GK. By contrast Talbot (who at the time was the most coveted GK) was traded for a 2nd and 3rd. Let me add, I find it hard to believe that Murray did not know that Lehner had emotional issues since Murray had just come from the Senators organization.
Missed trades:
LAK offered first, third, Pearson, and Green for Moulson and Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff was bought out and Moulson returned 2 seconds
BOS offered 2 seconds for Chris Stewart he settled for on second.
mishandled the cap, by signing and trading for the following:
Matt Moulson $25,000,000 for 5 years
Brian Gionta $12,750,000 for 3 years
Andrej Meszaros $4,125,000 for 1 year
Cody McCormick $4,500,000 for 3 years,
Prior to that gave up a 2nd for Josh Gorges who had 4 years remaining on a $3,900,000/year. So he gave up a second and wasted over $18,550,000 cap.
How many draft picks could he have earned if had picked up draft picks for over $74,000,000 of cap space? I could imagine up to 3 first round picks.
He drafted poorly, traded poorly, mishandled the cap, insulted the NHL, insulted other managers.
Benning has a long way to be as bad as Murray.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salami4McDonalds</b></div><div>Difficulties of translation, you have not forgotten how I communicate? :) I think you already understand who I am. :)

I think we really need just such a defender as Brodin in the top 4 to protect Dahlin’s back in the second pair, I just really like Brodin.</div></div>

Yes from the site that you used to compare players.
Now please, I would never suggest this trade but check out this comparison

I wish I knew how they derived their statistics.
Type in Brodin and see who this site thinks he compares with the best. TBH I was shocked so I sort of doubt the validity, I always thought Marco was under rated but this is to much.
Спасибо
Edit:
Let me add, that defender just may be Pilut. He played really well with Ristolainen and made Ristolainen better.
