18/19 MGMT thread VIIII

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

LMAO he came back

 

[Phenomenon13]

I'd argue that the need was when Dipietro was the backup, not when he was starting games. Dipietro starting games is when it goes from a problem to an emergency. Having Dipietro in the NHL and not playing games is not ideal for his growth.

 

[xtra]

Given him props for coming back but I wonder if he’s willing to admit the situation has been handled poorly yet

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

What's your opinion on the whole situation.

I see you're going thread to thread to spread your faux outrage at the drama.

Do you think they handled this whole thing well. Please, please give me the courtesy of at least 3 sentences. Thx.

Its a fair assessment to question Benning on this one...It was a gamble..It didn't work out....It was one game, and the the reaction from the negative posters is its usual over the top hysteria..'embarrassed the franchise'..?

I remember Markstroms first game as a Canuck (against the Sharks no less)..He got lit up in the first period as well..DiPietro will be fine.

A pick was utilized, crisis averted.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

How much are they paying him to do this? Let’s all speculate.

Seven million for the last five years?

Why do you think people are worried about the result of the game instead of the lack of foresight (that many posters here had) that benning has shown in the management of the situation.

Do you not think the team going out the very next day to get a goalie would suggest that they may have been slightly embarrassed? I think they didn't like the blow back they were getting and it became a whole league sees this issue that reared it's head by the kid getting fed to the Sharks.

Thank you for the response.

I remember Marky's 1st Canuck start too...he was 23, in his 4th year as a PRO in north america. Slightly different circumstances.

You do understand that Markstrom was 25 and played a ton of NHL games before that right?

 

[Addison Rae]

If anyone thinks this is some random occurrence and people are just trying to nitpick you're out of your mind. This is an administration that needed help from the league front office to conduct day to day operations, an administration who's assembled the worst roster in the NHL the previous 3 seasons despite wanting to compete. An administration that has spent an entire drafts worth of picks and has yet to find a single top 4 defender. The teams assistant GM was behind one of the most incompetent fiascoes in professional sports history where he was saved from giving up his teams impending top 10 picks away for a guy the organization would lose on waivers. A guy that traded Tracy McGrady away for peanuts and recieved death threats from the Orlando fan base.

This is just par for the course for this administration.

Yes...(although looking at his stats, he must have been lit up on a consecutive basis)...I was just making a point that DiPietro is not going to be emotionally scarred from having a tough first NHL game.

There you go. You're getting there.

At least realizing this was horribly bungled is the first step. Now you've just got to connect to (sic) dots and realize this management team has a habit of making these terrible blunders every season. Then you're onto the broader plot.

 

[Jack Burton]

Now you've just got to connect to dots

Weisbro never would have made this mistake

Weisbro never would have made this mistake

Lol weisvrod would have signed someone that played professionally in Europe this season already lol

(Refer to O’reilly situation)

That’s not what people are even arguing...

This team is supposed to be challenging for a wild card spot and they end up getting ventilated 7-2 with their blue chip goalie prospect between the pipes.

Why is DePietro between the pipes?

Because either someone thought that this team's team defense was good enough to protect him from one of the top offensive teams in the league and decided not to address the lack of a back up tender situation. IE. delusional incompetence.

Because somebody thought somebody else would handle it. IE negligent incompetence

Because the fact that Marky might go down with injury didn't occur to anyone. IE incompetent incompetence

Or.

Because the Aquibros are playing around with their toys again. IE fanboi incompetence

..

Crisis averted?

This entire front office is one big effing crisis and "fans" like you enable this crap show.

 

[Intangibos]

Has Benning handled the goaltending situation worse than Gillis? Has he done so twice now with the Miller saga and now the Demko saga?

 

[Fire Benning]

Lol

 

[TruGr1t]

I do find it somewhat funny and ironic that these idiots are absolutely obsessed with "veteran" depth all over the forward lines, but refuse to acquire any depth on the blue line and in goal. That's not at all important because ... reasons.

 

[Foundational Player]

It was also Markstrom's 44th NHL start. He was also one of the highest ranked goaltending prospects not playing in the NHL at the time. DiPietro hasn't even played a game of professional hockey.

Other than both of them being goaltenders who play for the Canucks, there isn't much of a comparison to be made here.

 

[Fire Benning]

'rekt DiPietro'.?..oh,the drama..lol

Didn't you defend the idea of signing Beagle to shield the young players from being exposed defensively ?

Why does that same philosophy not apply for goaltenders? I guess because in this particular case it excuses the team of utter incompetence so you conveniently make an exception, right?

Does throwing a 19 y/o goalie who isn't even close to playing pro hockey into the deep end seem like a good development plan to you?

 

[Addison Rae]

Jim Benning hasn't acquired a draft pick higher than the 6th round in nearly 24 months, that is bizarre.

 

[timbermen]

That was a nice deal for Maranzek. All you can do is laugh at the ridiculous luck they've had with the goalie's. It's fixed now though.

 

[TruKnyte]

Out of curiosity, can anyone that wants to defend Benning on this find a comparable example from a well run organization in the NHL? I'm curious to see how many times this has happened before.

 

[timw33]

It's fixed now though.

 

[RandV]

I'll save the long rant and just say for all the media and fan hysteria at the Canucks never had an issue with goaltending under Gillis, never had one now till this current fiasco under Benning, and looking at it from today with the power of hindsight for two goalies that are no longer capable of keeping up in the NHL Gillis' goaltending moves have left us with Horvat and Markstrom who can probably play for us at a high level for another 10-12 and 3-5 years respectively.
