Bad News Benning
Fallin for Dahlin?
The only way Benning could be competent enough to be a GM is if he was surrounded by a crew of intelligent hockey people who did most of the leg work while he went on scouting missions. It's actually quite sad that someone who spent so much time as an assistant is so unprepared for the duties of a general manager. He is out of his element in pretty much every department with the exception of scouting.
Unfortunately he is too stupid to actually surround himself with smart hockey people and there is no one to save his ass or do the leg work on important decisions. The moment that Benning hired Weisbrod is the moment he sealed his fate as a total failure of a GM. This was his one opportunity to be a GM and it's quite clear why it took so long for someone to actually hire him. I honestly hope he resigns and goes back to a scouting role with another organization where he belongs. Would be a lot less messy for everyone if he just moves along now and accepts that he's not cut out for general manager duties.
