This thread ponders the question:
Why do the Canucks have an Amateur Scouting Department?
Why do the Canucks have an Amateur Scouting Department?
Benning is the scouting department.
0 picks in the first 2 rounds last year.
1 pick in the first 4 rounds this year.
1 pick in the first 3 rounds next year.
One playoff appearance in the past 6 years (likely would have been 0 had COVID not ended the season prematurely)
Prospect pool is bare as hell.
I think the organization is running a really lean ship and the egos in charge don't want to show they were stupid in getting rid of guys like Crawford and Brackett and are just trading away many top picks to avoid draft embarrassment.
The next GM is going to be really f***ed. Aging older assets while the younger guys are going to be FA and demanding big bucks. There is nowhere to hide...2026-2029 = massive rebuild.
