Eriksson should tell his old friends that Benning needs to eat what he cooks and won't be retiring any time soon.
The Canucks are falling apart

Do you cheer for both teams when the Oilers and Canucks play or do you just pick whoever happens to win that night? When the Kraken join the league you will be cheering for 3 teams in the same divison. Those are a lot of "split" affairs for yourself.
My point was that you are welcome to cheer for another team if you want and I also question you being a "fan" at all with the above predicament.

You can question me being a "fan" all you want. To me i don't see a problem of cheering for more than a team; If you don't like it, then so be it. If they play against each other, i will watch the game as if i am a neutral fan and cheer when either team scores.
Like i said, cheer for Benning and his failure all you want, but i no longer want to be tortured any longer. I will become a canucks fan again once Benning is gone.
I don't have a problem with cheering for more than 1 team, but it's definitely odd to choose 3 teams in the same division.

I'm so glad to have seen game 5 downtown, and so glad I didn't go for game 6 and 7, heh. What a fun night game 5 was. I'm amazed that after the game we got into the Railway Club without having to stand in a lineup. They were technically not letting people in, but they were in between bands, so they reluctantly let us stay. Gotta love a bar where you can open the windows and yell Go Canucks to the people cheering outside.

What does this have to do with anything???. The Hughes/EP contracts will be huge this off season and a good indication of what we will see iced next season
Valid, but the Canucks season was already finished well before covid. Arguably before March even hit. When the covid outbreak happened, the Canucks had a 16% chance of making the playoffs.
FYI.

I don't cheer for Benning.. I cheer for the Canucks. I went on a little monologue earlier in the thread about that. If you don't want to be tortured why did you pick BOTH the OILERS and the CANUCKS? Double torture activated. I mean pick a team in the west and one in the east and I totally get the multi-team fandom thing but it's a doozy supporting nearly half of one division.
Good luck to all your teams next season!

If you cheer for the canucks, you would not want Benning to be in place. And good point, that is double torture

Ian Clark resigned for 5 more years. (Same as Demko)
They also signed Brad Shaw.
Canucks announce updates on coaching staff, including extension of Ian Clark
Sorry if its the wrong thread for this.

Great additions and Ian Clark has a proven track record already with our Goalies. I’m betting Brad Shaw will one day be the head coach of the team. Looks like the Sedins are being primed for a GM role as well.

Look Ma', a Straw man.
Nobody supports every move Benning has made, particularly in the past.
But hfcanucks has this toxic mentality where any nuance, anyone who points to the core and sees some positives is treated as a pollyannaish dope. It's the opposite of honest discussion, it's a negative echo chamber and it's pointless.
Thank you so much. Like, look the vast majority of us want a regime change. But I also don't want to come out of Canucks discussion feeling more depressed than after reading about the imminent collapse of civilization.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
The ownership group they have is easily the biggest problem there.

Sorry, we’re all on this plane together. Forgive us if we notice the pilot and the copilot both ate the fish.

It amazes me how sports mangers or media personalities can get so obese when they communicate with trainers and athletes everyday. I was shocked at how bad Benning looked at the draft lottery this year.

Canucks had a nice point in the season where they went to town on Ottawa and had a big 5-game win streak. They looked pretty good in those games and last season they had some fun `90's Night games. They have potential 
Every month its a new "worst run franchise in the league". Don't forget Arizona too. How much of it is fan overreaction and how much of it is incompetent management I don't know but it is really strange. Can't be good for the health of the league if a quarter of its teams are a joke.
