Rumor: Benning has green light to make a trade and is working the phones. Trying to fix "chemistry"

This seems similar to chiarelli sabotaging the oilers before he left.

Beware Canuck fans

Benning lives in your head bud

Benning lives on a gorillas lap taking a shit

Eh, Benning's already has the team paying Pearson+Dickinson+Poolman $8.4M till 2024 and 7.26M for 30 year old OEL till 2027. For next season, the teams going to start $3.9M short to have Virtanen, Holtby, and Halak (performance bonuses) not play for us. And of course one more season juggling Ferland on the IR with his uninsured $3.5M cap hit. 4 years and $14M salary (again uninsured) for a cool 14 games of Michael Ferland. And since he keeps trading draft picks including the last two 1st rounders the organizations top leading prospects are Danila Klimovich, Jack Rathbone, Jett Woo, and Michael DiPietro.

Basically, Benning's been sabotaging the team for 8 seasons. It would be damn nice if new management could make the most out of Miller on the trade market, but if Benning gets to blow it which it seems like he probably will well that's just another drop in the bucket.

He’s living in your head and he ain’t going anywhere

What would the cost of Hronek+Rasmussen to Vancouver cost?? Some combo of Pearson/Rathbone/Woo/Dipietro/Picks?

Well run team with a beauty of a GM

Damn the lockdown has not done him good.

Worst gm in league and arguably now one of the worst owners in the league.

8 years into Benning and I’m absolutely not shocked that he hasn’t been fired. Why bother now? It makes sense 5 years ago.

Canucks in the process of losing tonight to the Pens. After tonight the Canucks record will likely be 6-12-2
Benning REALLY has to do something significant to shake up this team. What a dumpster fire. Canucks are scoreless half way through the 3rd.

He will not make a trade. The whole regime is about to crumble. New thread should be started "Future Canucks GM's potential moves".

We need a new GM asap. He should come in and ask all the players who wants out and trade them accordingly. Draft looks pretty nice this year.

The most logical thing to do would be to see if a different coach could get more out of the players before going all Mike Milbury with trades.

It's absolutely bizarre they haven't done at least that yet.

If this was any other team, especially with the talent they have, the coach and possibly GM would of been fired by now. This organization is knee deep in some bizarro-land type stuff.

Quite the clip in the post game presser from Miller tonight. Who isn't buying in?

The entire lineup pretty much aside from Miller, Hoglander, Garland, Podkolzin and Hughes/OEL

 

[polarbearcub]

This team is rotten from the top down.

I feel so badly for Miller. For his own sake I hope he is traded to a winning organization.

As a Canucks fan I would appreciate a good return but at this point... who cares? Benning is just going to f*** it up anyway.

Local Pittsburgh area kid and always wanted him on Sids LW. But Pens will begin the transition and probably keep draft picks. Petts and Poulin for him is about the best the Pens can do here.

I don't think the GM is going to matter unless you can find someone who is also skilled at managing Aquilini. Canucks have a real problem with meddling ownership, on par with Katz/Pegula level. You can argue about the GM but it's kind of irrelevant when the owner is actively inserting himself into hockey ops.

 

[Kimota]

This shit is as bad as the Habs.

 

[CoachWithNoTeam]

What are the Canucks actual on ice, on paper needs?

I look at the lineup and see that they probably need about three more top 4 D? But that it will be difficult without cap space and top prospects. So I would think shedding salary while adding cheap D would be the priority. But I’m not sure if that’s what it looks like from people that follow them more closely.

Horvat for Lundkvist+Othmann+1st

He needs a green light?
