Thread: Why Bennett Gets Traded Today
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>This isnt junior hockey anymore, he can not process the game at a high enough level to be more than a bottom 6/4th liner in the NHL. and one that takes as many penalties that he does and cant play special teams as a pure winger, he is not an adaptable hockey player, he is a guy who goons it up looking for a spark, like you said takes bad ones in the Ozone. That is not a smart NHL hockey player.

He stinks and lets not pretend like hes anything more than a limited role player.</div></div>

Hahaha sure thing man, I won't even bother reading that it's a pointless argument and a boring conversation when someone is so blatantly jaded for whatever reason we can both move along knowing that it has zero effect on my day. Makes me hope he goes to Colorado even more now though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>He is also a moron who tried to goat people into after the whistle stuff and just ended up goign to the box himself.
Hes not a smart hockey player, flame fans can agree with that, low hockey IQ is why he will never be more than a tough guy bottom 6er. Avs dont need dumb hockey players on the team, especially ones that are not good defensibly in the bottom 6 either</div></div>

Hahaha you sound like Bennett slept with your wife at some point.
He draws a lot of penalties and take bad ones in the O zone a little more than people would like. Watch any junior highlight he has and when he is on his game he is a really smart hockey player and that extremely clear to anyone who as watched him as opposed to having a full diaper about him like you do. He is extremely valuable to the Avs in the playoffs whether you like it or not.

Thread: Deangelo Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>They would retain 1-1.3M max or compensate with a 4th/5th rounder max. Either that or they take cap space back but it wouldn't be a large contract like Lucic/okposo/Louie E/etc. It would be a guy closer to Brendan Smith, 4M cap hit max and on the last year. Buy out is so cheap on him, 400K in 21' and 900K in 22' but its's a 3.7M hit for this year which we would like to lower and recoup. The deal would probably look more like ADA and a 3rd for Bennett. Does that deal work for CGY, maybe not...</div></div>

Awesome, this was the answer I was digging for. I think you're right in saying it doesn't work for Calgary, I think that Derek Ryan would be a perfect example of what you are talking about but with only one year left it wouldn't make sense. Thanks man
