  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
So you were there? Did you talk to BA personally? Or are you assuming that theLegion had no contact?
Jakey likes to argue for the sake of arguing.....

Looking at the fact that the Sharks were sending back a D-man I came to a logical conclusion that Toronto's ask included a D-man in return and BA isn't going to give one of his prospects, nor did he have a servicable D-man he could spare..... PLUS two picks, and I don't BA parting with that much.

I don't think Toronto wanted that D Man, I think that was a dump by SJ. The Leafs are trying to move him again.

You just don't give up. All you have to say is "I think, or I assume, or in my point of view etc. :nod:

Hindsight is also 20/20 too.
So, your logical conclusion was so logical was it. TO wants to trade Benning.

I call it was I see it Jakey.... that's all.

Hindsight is 20/20 Jakey.... and everyone is an expert the day after.

I can say with most certainty that when Toronto took Benning..... I doubt the Sharks cared what they did with him. They are at least 2-3 years behind where Utah currently is now in rebuilding their roster. They were looking to upgrade their D and in their position were able to let someone from their current D corp.

Now I will ask you and @Jamieh to put your expert GM abilities to use here and explain to the group what Utah assets BA might have given up to get Liljregen without sacrificing what he has built so far??? Knowing that BA did probably talk to Toronto about him.

More than likely TO was trying to force a bidding war and BA said screw that and went with option B!

I don't recall saying they should have gotten him or what assets to give up, I simply provided you with the info that a depth D probably was not required as Toronto doesn't want the one SJ sent them.

Because you didn't say anything...... at all..... until long after the trade goes down and Benning gets shopped again.

Then you double down on it again here.....

Mine isn't hindsight, the Leafs don't really want the Player they got in trade.

You think I'm supposed to know what Treliving thinks?? We all now know he didn't want the D man that you asserted had to be part of a trade, you were wrong

Maybe I was….. I said from the looks of it seemed they wanted one. You tried implying you knew beforehand they didn’t want a D return.

No such implication?? I simply provided you the info that they didn't want Benning as they are trying to move him on without even playing a game.
