Thread: Taking a stab at it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Montreal doesn't want Jujhar. Especially considering Montreal is giving up a 3rd round pick.</div></div>

You don't like the trade, fair enough.

I opted for Montreal because they have tiny forwards and Washington's 2020 3rd round pick is practically a 4th round pick. It seems reasonable to suggest the 81st overall pick, is probably a pretty inexpensive cost to acquire a 25 year-old depth player who has already played 218 NHL games. The odds of the prospect selected with the 81st overall pick playing 200 NHL games are less than 15%. If Bergeron doesn't want a big, youngish depth forward (4C is perhaps his most effective role) who is a particularly good penalty killer, willing to defend team mates, and playing under an inexpensive and expiring contract there is quite likely another GM who is.

Thread: Oilers fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Ceci is lost case and needs some team without too much expectation to succeed and playing behind Larsson and Bouchard would help. Leafs cant yet relly on Liljegren for top-4 spot, so putting ceci in there would be not a good idea, but Benning is better and IDK how much edmonton wants him, but Ive seen a lot of ACGMs trading him and despite my dislike of him, Id give him a shot and its lesser risk than Ceci in there. It helps both teams. If Oilers can recoup Ceci, they have solid 3 right shot Dmen. If Liljegren is ready for top-4 minutes Id just keep Ceci on 3rd pair.. Benning was mishandled a lot too so thats why lost cases..</div></div>

The Oilers need Benning this year to hold down a top-4 spot. From the verbal from coaches, Bouchard will start the year in the AHL, he certainly isn't ready for a top-4 spot yet. The Oilers have lots of candidates for 3RD (Jones, Bear, Persson, Bouchard), so Ceci is of no interest to them.

I don't see Benning as being a "lost case".
