Vancouver being on the upswing, having Beagle and Schmidt's best friend, Holtby and could also absorb the entire contract ticked all the boxes. So McCrimmon reached out to Benning and suggested the mid-round pick as the return.

McCrimmon likely saved Benning's job.
Perhaps it is possible for something good to come from signing Beagle.

Lord knows Beagle sucks, so why not try to lure some friends that might actually be good at hockey.
