Brackett off to Minnesota. Getting Lafreniere will be a nice start for him

I bet he got the autonomy that benning said no one would ever give him

 

[timw33]

Probably going to be a bit of an upgrade on P.J Fenton, Paul's son who was hired by his dad to run scouting with next to zero experience.

Minnesota hasn't really knocked it out of the park with their amateur department lately, so I'm sure they'll give him the rope he needs.

Still extremely pissed off about him not being brought back.

 

[Canucks LB]

People wondered if there was something about his personality that made him clash with Jim.

Obviously that’s the way goes to shit now, with Jude bracket signing so fast, and now annoyingly enough with the wild who absolutely will turn around their franchise now in my opinion

When did Benning say that? All I ever heard is it wasn't what Benning himself was comfortable with.

 

[rypper]

On the topic of autonomy, he wanted say in who was hired and fired in his department, a truly outlandish request i know.

 

[timw33]

Well all of those guys have such sparkling reputations, definitely get their claws deeper into the process I say!

why the dislike for Delorme?

meh, people get to run their organizations the way they want to. Neither Brackett nor Benning were unreasonable, good people can come to an impasse.

Cause he’s a dinosaur and is not very good at his job.

There's something about Benning's personality that clashes with others, not vice versa. Gilman, Linden, and now Brackett. Benning and Weisbrod are the two constants here that will stay and continue to fire people with dissenting opinions. Great way to run an NHL organization in 2020.

I stole this graph off Google, but this is what Vancouver vs. Minnesota's drafting will look like since Brackett left. Canucks are the green line, Wild are orange.

1st - Brackett to Minny
2nd - Minny beats Van in play-in
3rd - Van drafts a plug in 2020 1st round when Weisbrod vouchers for kid based on sweet YouTube highlights.

Uhhh I don't know man, maybe look at the last 30+ years he's been a scout for the team, a large portion of which he was the head scout and then compare that to our drafting record over that time.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Makes our series even more interesting. If it were me I'd match Brackett up against Horvat with the hopes of shutting him down.

good thing Benning was hired to re-tool the scouting system then wasn't it?

Somehow Delorme persists even after all those years of terrible work. And he's a voice that Benning really trusts so that's gotta be a positive too, right?

Forgive me if I'm wrong here but wasn't he in charge of Canucks scouting in the western Canada region aka the region with the least amount of success?

 

[Phenomenon13]

You know when Brackett wants more control of who is in the scouting department. I'm starting to think he wanted delorme out. Lmao this guy has more job security than a tenured professor.

 

[BB06]

This is disappointing and shows how highly Value Brackett was around the league. He was jobless for 9 freaking days.

 

[Hansen]

Oh god are we actually just going back to Ron Delorme after all that

ffs

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I think Rick nails a few things
When a passionate market like Van hasn’t seen any sort of successes in 5 years, add on to all the mistakes on July 1st. Nastiness tends to happen especially on social media.

Only a couple playoff appearances, round wins and ofc the grand prize and easy down the rage.

For example, had the Canucks has had any sort of success recently, the Brackett new probably won’t even make a splash. An extreme example would be Troy leave the Capitals after winning the cup, a lesser example would be MacFarland leaving Toronto.

what I gathered from the history is Delorme is a well liked guy. The problem was prior to Benning it was very poorly organized. Once Benning re-worked the system (which included giving guys like Brackett chances to develop) things got much better.

Benning re-working the system:

“No Ron, we want to draft good players now!”
