You were lumping those two in with Askarov earlier in the thread like they're part of the future nucleus of the team. Then in the same thread you're acting like the die is already cast for Dickinson as being inferior to Buium. How could you or anyone else possibly know that less than a month into the season?

It's like "hey, you never know with defensemen. Maybe these 25 year old guys can show something they haven't yet" and then in the next breath calling the 18 year old a bust.

From a different sharks fan and speaking for more than a few of us ... Don't pay them any mind.

I assume that Matt Benning is the retention in this trade.

The new goss is that Benning was a request to include by the Sharks, so... Yeah. Grier didn't want to gum up the prospect pipeline with a dude who is cooked post-hip surgery. Get a contract off the books so it's one for one. I think Leafs posters who say he'll not likely play a game for y'all are right.
