He isnt.People are not arguing Gillis drafted better than Benning. People are arguing that Benning might not be the "draft god" as proclaimed by several posters here.
Its like the old adage "a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on."
Benning and Chiarelli were both viewed as really good at building through the draft because of Boston. Seemingly ignoring being a shit team for so long and getting good picks helps.
Thats what Benning came here as.
If anything he record is rather pedestrian taking into account the high picks the Canucks have certainly had.
Nevermind for a "drafting guru" he sure gives up his supposed strong hand by trading away picks. Which should give pause to whether he actually is as good as some fans want to make him out to be.
