Confirmed with Link: Benning to Vancouver John Furguson Jr to Boston

[Gator Mike]

Per Darren Dreger's Twitter account:

Expect the Vancouver Canucks to finally name Jim Benning as their new GM later this week. Hiring coach will be next. Trotz high on the list.

Haggs also put it out there that Don Sweeney is pretty high on the Capitals' list for a new GM.

Maybe Chia will be scouting for some new assistants on HF.

Keep making those Byfuglien proposals, CB.. you might get an important phone call if you do.

 

[Ivyy13]

Does Benning try to trade for his son?

 

[Hamilton Brian]

I would hate to lose Sweeney.

 

[Gordoff]

I knew that sooner or later the B's managerial cupboard would be raided. If/when it happens wonder who will be moving up from of the B's system from within or from the outside ?

and here I thought all those calls were debt collectors. Damnit

 

[GoBs]

Send Chia and we will keep Don Sweeney.

Benning can also go. His comments on 20 year old Seguin on the Behind the B were pathetic.

Well Chia wrote the screenplay for that episode, so take it up with him.

But kidding aside, just about every member of the FO had something bad to say about him. Did you have any problem with Neely's especially scathing criticisms?

Imagine what its going to be like while discussing Marchand,Bartkowski,Lucic,Erricksson and Krejci.

The Bruins' ministry of propaganda certainly has their work cut out for themselves.

Considering Seguin's childish antics during the playoffs, I'd say the comments were 100% justified. Should we sugar coat it when there's a clear and concerning issue with a player?

No, you get the player help and let him grow up like they did in Chicago.

I think they would have been much more willing to "let him grow up" if he was producing like the guy in Chicago was.

Kane never grew up. He's just one of those drunks that can be a drunk and still do his 9to5. Those are the types of prospects we need to be drafting.

 

[hemispheres]

While he was not producing I still believe other teams had to pay attention to him, which helped make space for other guys.

 

[Man Rocket]

Hire Shawn Thornton chia

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Maybe so. But still the comments were justified considering Seguin's behavior. He acted like a dumb party boy and got treated accordingly.

nephew

remember, Benning knows what these prospects eat for dinner- so where Gillis might have made a deal Benning may not

Sweeney would be a great choice, but hope he stays- very classy, outstanding evaluator- would suck losing two such highly regarded front office people

 

[DKH]

wonder if chia brings back john weisbrod

I'm hearing Kirk Luedeke

 

[Kosikarzzz]

Any compensation? Picks? We had to forfit a pick to get chia iirc Same thing right?

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Andy Brickley would be a fine assistant

That was Scott Bradley not Benning
