Fire Benning
diaper filled piss baby
Benning’s only real pro scouting ‘hit’ has been Roussel who’s mostly in people’s good books because of his shenanigans. They still overpaid for him and that contract could look bad in it’s later years.
Benning is responsible for the McCann pick, and I never said otherwise, but I’m not responsible for your lack of reading comprehension.
You forgot to mention Brock Boeser that’s another blown 1st round pick.
So if I understand you correctly, you’re saying that the Canucks have had one of the lowest point totals in the league during their rebuilding stage?
Interesting.
In other news, it was revealed that Shaquille O’Neil has had a bigger shoe size than the average Japanese man over the past 4 years.
If you look back in history, I think most, perhaps all, teams that successfully rebuilt after being bottom feeders for a few years had a few stinkers for picks.
In the case of Benning, he flat out blew other teams into the Pacific Ocean with that Pettersson pick.......and its looking more and more likely that Quinn Hughes will be the toast of his class as well outside of everyone named Rasmus Dahlin. Brock Boeser also goes Top 10 in a 2015 redraft.
Or perhaps Team Tank has it right. All of our successful draft picks was due to Bracket’s brilliance. In reality, Benning was in Czechoslovakia trying to coax Peter Nedved to come out of retirement. I heard this from a friend who has a cousin whose brother in law works at CanucksArmy.
Go back to the Summer of 2018: People on Team Tank were literally tearing up because Jim Benning passed on Jack “generational talent” Wise and instead, opted for Tyler Madden. You can’t even make up this comedic gold. This place never ceases to amaze me.
“Mark my words guys, Casey Mittelstadt’s game won’t translate at the NHL level,” LMAO.
Where did Ferraro say this? I want to listen.There’s been a ton of questions about QH ability to defend in his own end. If this is true at an NHL level, his smoothe skating and decision making won’t matter as you can’t play if you can’t defend. We won’t know until we see it him in the NHL. Ray Ferraro has doubts and he knows his stuff.

The Canucks unofficially began their rebuild in 2014 when they traded Luongo..
You're omitting another key factor. Jethro thought there was an equivalent D on the Canucks that he was paired up with on the Panthers. The only time he had top 4 duty and didn't look like he **** the bed.I just can’t, ever, get over the fact that people think the same guy who thought Gudbranson was a good player with a good first pass after watching him play *in the NHL* for 5 years could simultaneously be providing huge value to the organization by making genius projections of what an 18 y/o will look like years from now.
It’s just too idiotic for words. We have 5 years of pro scouting to empirically prove that Jim Benning is really, really, really bad at evaluating hockey players.
You’re expected to draft an NHL player in the top 10.
unfortunately this doesn't happen all the time. You're a hockey fan right? due some research yourself. I'm not saying it's ok, to screw up a top 10 pick. I will hate to see it happen to us, but it happens more often then you think, Griffin Reinhart, Michael Dal Cole, Fail Yakupov, Ryan Strome, Dylan Strome, to name a few.

Didn’t you just complain about people making fun of Jim Benning’s middle name? Is this really happening?
The absolute worst way to analyze what you lost in a draft pick trade is to only look at the player the other team selected. It doesn't tell you anything.
Trotting it out continually is silly, and if the team is only doing that rudimentary level of analysis it's no surprise they gave away a full years worth of picks in 4 seasons.
It's fun to track the transaction by seeing this, but it's not analysis.Yup, it’s a false equivalency that is not rooted in reality, logic, or reason. I really don’t understand people who use other team’s picks to put a value on who we would select if we retained the pick. It would only make sense if we shared the same management and scouting as the team that made the pick. It’s absurd.
Sam Bennett, Puljujarvi, we’ll probably be adding Juolevi to that list. With the latter it’s particularly galling as everyone knew Tkachuk was the easy pick. But it happens every year, and has happened to all teams.
What I take away from this is you can just either let the scouts draft without any GM input or even just take central scoutings highest ranked player at your position and the end result wouldn't be that much different from having Jim Benning as the GM. There's a couple of teams that are exceptionally good at drafting/developing, and a couple of teams that are exceptionally bad at it, but the majority just fall in the much larger middle ground where the above statement is true. It's why if I'm evaluating a GM (not hat my opinion means anything) draft results are way down the list on what's important.
Makes no sense to say “He drafted EP40 and QH”. That’s like saying “I called in sick 5 times this month but showed up the other 25 times.”
You’re expected to draft an NHL player in the top 10. Elite or not, an NHL player if you have any competence.
He drafted JV18 who would not be in the NHL on most teams and OJ who likely won’t be in the NHL even on our terrible Defense ever.
Mind blowing that those blown picks are talked about so casually as normal.
