Its the answer to the sky is falling anarchy going on in this thread and also an answer to the dudes question which I guess wasnt you since it doesn't have your handle on it.
The sky is not falling and the owners want to make cssh so they tell you what you want to hear in order to sell tickets pretty simple stuff to me
So you’re calling people idiots for not buying into the Canucks even though you’re saying it’s their job to sell a bad product?

You’re criticizing people for seeing through the nonsense?

Make my day.
I can actually picture Benning at the allstar game in his backwards FUBU hat, shades on, pants between his knees, gold chain and Pettersson jersey flashing gang signs. Benning and Weisbrod=ballerz4life.
Pretty fly for a white guy

Rich folk got super rich by knowing how to make money and if they say the team is well worth paying to watch when it isn't then its because they wish to separate you and your disposable income like any corp would .
Biz 101 and they tell you its a biz when players talk of the money side of hockey.

Lol, Francesco didn't get rich by knowing how to make money. Like the majority of the wealthy, they were just born wealthy.

So how likely is it we draft Bowen Byram? We need D so desperately. I'm gonna be pissed if we end up drafting anything besides defense.

I have him 3rd but I wouldn't take a defender if Byram is gone. The top 10 is forward heavy and the forwards will better from where we are picking.

We need a forward not a defenseman ! Either one of Dach or Cozens will be good for this franchise

If the owners only wanted to make cash I'd imagine that they wouldn't allow spending to and near the cap all to finish bottom 5 year after year. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Benning is NOT a competent executive in control of a business worth nearly a billion. That he isn't some crafty guy fooling people into buying a flawed product. That perhaps, just perhaps, he is simply incompetent and has been protected thus far by a casual fan base that gets distracted by shiny things and ownership who only takes to heart the things they already decided they wanted to hear.

But the shine is wearing off and people are starting to see the team for what it is.

And ownership are finding it tough to find people to tell them what they want to hear.

And your point is?
If someone pays Benning any quantity of money, everyone should be paid, regardless of how incompetent they are. I thought it was pretty clear, but some members of the church of dim jim need a little extra, I guess.

I can assure you that FAQ does not really know squat about "biz". He has advisors...
Ok then he has highly trained advisors who tell him how to make the most money and I guess every billion dollar corporations has an army of consultants and advisors whose job it is to make the corporation the most money.
