It's worth noting that we had received an extra 5th round pick for the 2015 draft from a trade that Mike Gillis made.

For Raphael Diaz too...Gillis handed Benning a disaster though, right?

Melvin · May 29, 2018

Don't forget they were gifted a pick when Columbus hired Torts. Otherwise it would be zero.

Melvin · May 29, 2018

Cross posting from my other thread a bit, but based on my data the 2016 draft was the strongest one top to bottom, and we went into it with a deficit. Rebuilding. Sigh.

Yes he did hand him a mess but this thread is about Elmer and his moves. Good, bad and meh....

Chairman Maouth · May 29, 2018

Please knock off the BS.

In fairness they never seem to have much to sell heavily at the deadline. The rest of your post Hargraves agrees with

If Hargraves agrees with that post, then Hargraves also agrees that the Canucks are not rebuilding, correct?

Prob think they’re being sneaky

I definitely don't see Benning as being the type of guy who could manage one twitter account, let alone 5. He's strikes me as the type of person who has his password on a sticky-note attached to the monitor.

But Linden? Yeah I can see that. Or if he doesn't run it, he certainly oversees the person or people who do.

Weisbrod definitely seems like the type, and it also looks very much like he edited a bunch of compliments into his own Wikipedia page in the past.

Hargraves has already said they are rebuilding. He didn’t say they were doing a good job of it so far.

God I would absolutely love it if management actually read the criticism of them here

If they have multiple message board accounts I don't think it would be here... they'd post at a place where they read and post nice things about themselves, keeping a box of tissues by their computer.

Family members, friends, employees... would be more likely here, imo.

Hollywood Burrows · May 30, 2018

I loooooove the Colangelo story, it's catnip for fans of dysfunctional front offices.

While I get a really strong "precocious 16 year old" vibe from the ryan miller/abbadon troll's writing, I would say that Weisbrod does seem like the type who's just dumb enough to craft some of those posts. But I don't think we're lucky enough to get a hilarious scandal like that.

MS · May 30, 2018

For the record, I don't really think there's an organized and paid astroturfing thing happening. But I do think it's highly likely that organization members and their family/friends are spamming a site like this of their own initiative. Again, one extremely pro-Benning account on this site has actually identified himself as Benning's cousin (and props for being honest at least).

vancityluongo · May 30, 2018

The Colangelo story is my favorite sports story of the year because it undermines the f*** out of this appeal to authority bullshit that sports executives are supposedly infallible. A dude can't even run burner Twitter accounts without being completely exposed yet he's the head guy of a major market team in a way better league than the NHL. Why...oh wait he's the son of a legendary figure in the sport. Go figure.

Hmmm maybe the son of a legendary scout really is as dumb as he sounds and acts...

y2kcanucks · May 30, 2018

The thing that puts some shade on whether or not certain posters here are tied to the Canucks hockey ops department is the lack of "insider" information being posted. The Colangelo burner account tweeted something about Jahlil Okafor failing a physical, and suggested that he failed his physical with his new team. That's something that wasn't publicly released. I'm not sure we have seen this kind of information being thrown out on here.

I also don't think the Canucks would waste their time with burner accounts on HFBoards. CDC or Reddit would be a bigger target (though they don't need to since most people over there seem to be drinking the koolaid), and I could see Twitter and Facebook.

There are some parallels to the constant Hinkie (Gillis) slandering though. And they'd never get caught on those places; a huge chunk of the fanbase already believes that garbage.

I'd be so happy to find some Twitter account pushing "Trevor Linden is the greatest Canuck of all-time" takes. Or to have a player bust out this take: Joel Embiid rips 76ers executive linked to Twitter accounts that were critical of the NBA star

Insider info that "Benning is a nice man" has been posted several times.

You guys caught me - I'm John Weisbrod. That's how I know 9th overall for Ryan Miller was never real.

You finally got something right. Why would the Canucks pay anyone to infiltrate a third rate message board that is an echo chamber for angry millennials who think that building a hockey team is like playing on X box.

Your grip on the situation here is tenuous at best. Maybe pay closer attention or save us all a headache and move back to CDC?
