Thats true. Although it hasnt been pretty when attempted so far, Id love a Hutton Stecher pairing finding chemistry eventually.

There was a time that tanev was injured as he often is and Hutton stepped up when paired with Gudbranson
Earning that $12M. The boards will never mess with the Canucks' star players ever again.

Eight penalty minutes since November 1 for the big kitten. 19th on the team tied with Tanev, Granlund and Leipsic.
But apparently the guy is "good in the room'....same with Sutter, Jimbo;s other 'foundational' acquisition....it's just too bad they can't reduce the size of the ice to the size of a dressing room.

Just leave him in the f***ing room, then. Let him be the league’s first dressing room specialist. Be a goddamn pioneer.

Maybe he could be the equipment manager?
Sadly that could make him the most competent person with "manager" in their title in the entire organization

No, he would be taking one of the Aquilinis' son's job

Jared Mc Cann is an All-World Tool who should never have been drafted in the first place, in the hush-hush world of Hockey I've never seen teammates and their families publicly reject someone like that.
And this was known throughout Jr. as well, the guy should never have been drafted.

His interview after being drafted was sure unsettling, and not in the Phil Kessel haha sense

Master Scout Jim Benning:
"[Erik Gudbranson] gives us size and strength, he's 6'5" 230, he can make a good first pass with the puck. He's got a real hard shot, he can hammer it from the back end."
Benning: Knew it was a steep price to pay for Gudbranson

i followed McCann in his draft year and i never heard that. Can you site some sources.

He's actually had some decent shot differentials lately.
I mean for a majority of the year he was atrocious.

One of the bright spots of the season:
Our overpaid #7 dman has played average for a couple of games in the meaningless part of the season

Edler's dragging his carcass up and down the ice now. Good way to make someone look at least serviceable is to staple them to one of the two dmen the Canucks have who can actually anchor a pairing, now the only one not hurt.
And I keep hearing about how horrible a person McCann is, usually from people defending the deal to get Gudbranson. I have yet to hear an explanation of why the team drafted him if he was such a rotten apple, especially as Benning seems to place "character" over actual hockey skill in his trading criteria.

It's phenomenal that it's so far from the truth that even the Benning trolls on here wouldn't pretend it was true, yet Benning legitimately thought it was accurate.

It is one of those things where there are so many layers.
Never forget that not only did Jim Benning value Gudbranson, when asked why he valued him he praised his offensive abilities.
Jim Benning actually thinks that a player who can "hammer the puck" is a good offensive defender in this era.
And people actually think this guy has an eye for talent.

This team needs to pay a 25% salary tax just to get garbage "foundational" players to lace their skates up.
"Hey, it's Jimbo. Hmm, what? Your agent thinks I'm a dullard who's not qualified to run a dairy queen, let alone a hockey team? I've run the team into the ground and playing here is an eternity of pure suffering? That the arena has brutal atmosphere and we have rules against cheering too loudly because we priced normal hockey fans out of our product two decades ago for corporate cash? Hmm. Are you a soulless mercenary who's willing to lose for cash? I'll give you a million extra bucks and trade a 2nd round draft pick to your favorite NHL franchise. Deal!?"
If only Benning was that creative. "Foundational" mercenaries who don't care about winning. Gudbranson is an embarrassment. I feel like I've been pants in elementary school whenever his name is called. "GudBRANson!" His grenade passes, puts so much mustard on them that they have to be tipped and chased. f*** his public boasting about toughness. He doesn't fight, he doesn't hit, he can't skate. I guess NOBODY wanted this garbage at the trade deadline, and he wouldn't re-sign to continue losing with this crap team unless they paid him extra. I don't just feel apathetic about this team, I actively HATE them at this point. This management is the worst since the Keenan era, but at least he blew things up when he knew it had to be done. Actually, his asshole-moves helped kickstart this team into a contender for 15 years. THIS is the worst management in team history.
