Did Benning just call Stanton "Brian"
Really quick, no editing so you will notice when my stream buffers.
The best thing will be when LA extends Lucic in a month and negates Benning's entire master plan for next offseason.
But guys! Wait! It's the mess Gillis left him! Can you believe Gillis left him a 23 year old power forward on a good contract that we had to get rid of? Gillis cost us that 5th that Benning had to pay Montreal to take Kassian, just like he cost us that 7th rounder when we had to pay Tampa to take Garrison!
Everyone hating on Gillis deserves this, tbh. I love the Canucks but I'm enjoying the Aquilini's egos blow up in their faces when they made Gillis take the fall for their meddling. Hopefully Benning gets canned soon and we can get a proper GM who will rebuild with all these high picks Benning gets us. Maybe after the next draft, if possible.

I really think this was they year Kassian was going to break out. If his back is ok he's going to be great.
But the big picture still has Benning remolding the team after the inevitable collapse...?
I'm shocked at some of the reactions here. Kassian is a problem character guy and has a poor work ethic. Benning and linden have mostly been about getting rid of problem guys and bringing in good character guys. I personally agree with this strategy. In this case it might have been a bit of addition by subtraction coupled with a much needed tough gritty acquisition.
On par with how much he knows about him as a player as well
judging by the production the habs got from dale "dutch gretzky" weise i'd say it looks like a nice landing spot for kass.

Imagine if we had Darcy Regier as GM after Gillis
Look at Buffalo and the assets he accumulated for that team then look at JB
I don't see that as likely once the team plummets to the bottom against the Aquillini's orders. Given their hair trigger nature I wouldn't be surprised to see Benning turfed by January if things go bad enough. And after the last couple of days I would support that decision.
