Who here said they'd make a good GM?

Not necessarily great GMs, just better than Benning. However, if you like what he's done, more power to you. I admire your ability to have complete faith in someone who is universally panned.

Never said that I'm a fan of his moves, you know what I'm not a fan of is firing a guy after a year and a half. Looks pretty bad firing a guy so soon.

I voted for the firing of Gilman, Crawford and co.

That's a move that has many long term implications as those were the last intelligent men left on our management team.

Lord knows the amount of terrible decisions they mitigated or shot down.

We will suffer many more bad moves from the Benning regime as a result of their levelheadedness no longer being present.

It's like taking the brakes off an Indy 500 car. Only will end one way now.

Sending Vey to Utica is on the list of Benning's best moves.....

 

[PG Canuck]

Look at the list of his bad moves. Look at the list of his 'good' moves.

Now, why shouldn't he be fired, and why should we care if it's so soon? Should we wait until he trades Horvat to get Adam Clendening back?

 

[racerjoe]

It's still a good return though, Bieksa was pretty bad, overpaid, old, and an upcoming UFA. You could also argue that he botched the Tanev deal by giving him a bridge deal the year before when everyone in Vancouver knew he was reliable and worth a long term deal.

Is it sad that the only two moves we consider good on the list have huge asterisks beside them?

That was my thinking as well. They had to push Benning to ask for an additional pick in the Kesler trade...

To which we then just swapped picks.

I think it looks worse when your team is run into the ground for longer.

Where did you hear that??

 

[Nuckles]

Where did you hear that??

There was a video released a while back with a short clip showing little tidbits of the Kesler trade behind the scenes (a bunch of the management talking in a room).

 

[racerjoe]

Where did you hear that??

I think it was in a Canuck video, but I may be mistaken.

I can't wait to see the results.

I can't wait to see the results.

Can you please try to remember which video this was?

Its very important for a project I'm doing.

Meh. Casual fans buy whatever the local media sells them. I hardly follow any local teams aside from the Canucks, so whatever I hear on 1040 or read in the paper is more or less what my opinion on the other teams will be.

Most of the media guys are still ******** over Gillis being mean to them, so this regime is a nice breath of fresh air in that regard. Wouldn't expect this to change any time soon unless the team completely bottoms out.

 

[VC]

The question is such a troll question.

Forsling trade for me

lol so many casuals seeing the name "Tkachuk" and choosing him because of that.

 

[banme*]

Biggest issue for me is that the majority doesn't want to change our trash js.

Keeping someone employed so he can continue to do more damage because you're worried how it will "look" is silly. If a pilot is drunk and is about to crash the plane I don't need to think that I'd be a better pilot to be able to make the call that someone else should take over, no matter how "bad it will look".

God, I hope we don't draft Tkachuk over the fins.
