Speculation: Jim Benning and his excuse to do nothing?

[Siludin]

Is there a possibility this trade deadline goes by without a peep one way or another from the Canucks? I honestly think this is the most likely scenario at this point. Benning can hide behind the COVID outbreak for not making any deals, and probably saves his butt in being able to do so.

Let’s all wait a few weeks to see how their health is before they get rid of them. They did get a deadly variant of COVID-19 after all

Players and their families health is the foremost priority.

However, even if this outbreak didn't come along, Benning would more than likely still find a way to botch it.

Lol Brad Treliving wishes...

Honestly Brad and Benning must be friends. They probably re-assure the sh*t of each other that if they just keep on being patient it'll somehow bring home the cup. Only logical explanation

Always a fine line between an excuse and a reason. Is it hiding, or is it nobody wants to trade for my guys?

That sounds like an ownership issue more than anything else.

Given the current state of the team's collective health I don't think they'll be focusing on anything beyond how their players and staff are doing.
