I suspect the team will go on a tear in October and Benning will trade the pick for a player with size that is hard to play against - surmising that he wants to give his team a chance to compete, because they deserve it. The team will then tank and miss the playoffs anyway.
In an attempt to rectify matters, he will then try to acquire picks the night before the draft, and end up getting none.
There's only one way to GM, and that's the Benning Way.

It's unfortunate the rebuild is over though - would be nice to see a high Canucks draft pick live.

Ahhh. I remember the last time we hosted the draft. We picked Grabner and I was drinking the kool-aid. I’m excited.
We should do a HFB draft meet up.

In the wide realm of Canucks draft picks, Grabner is a pretty solid one. Only downside is that we dealt him away in a deal that was lousy in hindsight.
YEah all in all he was a decent pick but we gave up on him too quick.
Also side note, I can’t believe Rangers are better at the deadline than we are and we’ve had three years to have a decent one.

I don't think we gave up on Grabner... he just wasn't developing here.
It wasn't until he was waived by Florida (on his 23rd birthday) that he self admittedly took stock of his life and career. Had that epiphany never happened he very well may have ended up like another Jensen, Shirokov.....

Can't wait to have Gudbranson and Eriksson announce the player they select on behalf of the Canucks.

Would love to see a draft day list of trades made by host teams over the past few yrs... decade-ish.
How splashy will Benning get.
Pretty jokey in here right now... maybe check in next yr..

Benning will be fired on January 19th so no real need for that.
I would probably be up for going to this / meeting up if anyone wants to organize it (not it.)

Eh, he was good in the 2009-10 season before he broke his ankle kicking a soccer ball or whatever. He was also developing well in Manitoba, with 30 goals in just his 2nd year down there. Not sure he needed that much of an “epiphany” tbh, maybe just a bit of patience. But whatever, it’s been hashed out enough over the years.
