Has this guy even been right on anything?

Seems like there's a new thread with his tweets every week. Is he just hoping something sticks or is he really clued in?

Tyler Dellow had an old piece saying that you can get decent value on high picks that aren't busts, but aren't stars, kind of like Benoit Pouliot in terms of fringe to average nhlers.

Gudbranson/Gagner/Sutter are those types of players.

Benning has a weird obsession with players drafted from 2010-2012

It's like he hasn't updated his scouting reports on these players since the draft.

He seems like a super go-getter and he tweets every single thing he hears. Almost none of it happens but what he's saying is there's interest, not that it's going to happen.

He is reliable, but since he reports when the Canucks have interest/inquired about a player a lot, rather than just impending deals, then it looks like he has a lot of misses.

I guess anything is possible when an average D-man like Adam Larsson can get you a top line winger.


average D-man? that is funny. Did I hit a sore spot? Guess I did. Edler is injury prone--It has been 6 season since he played a full season and Tanev has only played 70+ games once as a pro in 7 years. Larsson has playd 79 and 82 the last 2 seasons--for me that is pretty good--as opposed to injuries

So he plays average for 79 games.
Thanks for proving my point.

I could be way off as well but all seemed to be quite hyped past high draft picks with their own question marks

he tweets any info he gets, and he seems to talk to agents a lot.

all he tweeted is that an agent asked him if he'd heard anything about a rumour. so basically it's not much.
