Jim Benning vs Kyle Dubas

[lawrence]

I know this was posted shortly after losing game 7 against Vegas,, but even than I voted Dubas and still is Dubas. Mr. Potatoe head can do a better job as a GM.

I said it when the original thread was posted and I'll say it again:

Dubas overpaid his top players.

Benning overpaid his 4th liners and bottom pairing defencemen.

I'd take Dubas any day of the week.

I understood the context, just do better. "Without your 5 best players, your team sucks !" Thanks bro, didn't know that.

Also realized it was an old thread just now but that's still a horrible post

In love how confidently incorrect you are.

If you actually understood the context you would know you were agreeing with me. I think you lost it a little bit because I was using the Leafs as an example to another Leaf fan who as you would say should "do better".

I'll leave you to argue with Leaffanforlife23.

You know what the difference is? the on ice product still sucks in Vancouver in fact It's gotten worse

Sure....your example was just poor for someone who is such a big fan of your own team's tank.

The fact that this poll is even close is downright disrespectful to Dubas. Have even half of you that have voted for Benning glanced over his body of work?

Even at the time of when this poll was posted, it honestly wasn't close. This is no hindsight 20/20 situation. The track record speaks for itself.

Really embarrassing for Dubas to be in this conversation.. but he deserves it at this point

No he doesn't, don't get me wrong there is A LOT to be critical of Dubas for but no he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Jim Benning.

Jim might be a decent scout but Kyle Dubas is WORLDS better as a GM.

These threads are just an outlet for people to let it all out against the Leafs. That's why it's close.

This poll should be - Which arm chair GM's on HFBoards overreact the most?
