It blows me away that anyone would seriously think Benning would waive or cut a vet he just gave a new contract to over a rookie.
Agreed.
The hope, for me, is that Green has the power to pick his own roster. A lot of recent roster moves look, to me, to be his call. If he has emerged from the suspected managerial power struggle with a larger role, I think this could be a positive. The veteran signings address current roster issues, so I imagine they will start the season. I think Green knows his best roster will feature rookies and he is trying to inject some veteran influence. The rookies count will grow as the season progresses and injuries occur. It is possible that the Canucks are a young fast team going down the stretch with lots of veteran support in the press box.
