  1. At least wait for the Perry trade to go through.
  2. His original team likely botched his development curve. I will however give said original team some credit for the draft pick, though. It was a good pick, they just had zero idea how to manage & develop.
  3. Well on one side you have a management team that proved themselves to be grossly incompetent. And on the other side you have a 27 year-old 40 goal scorer. That's enough evidence, IMO.
  4. The Benning slurp-fest was in full swing at this point. People supported all of his decisions vehemently no matter how obviously moronic they were.
  5. He was a teenager, kids mature at different rates. If a little bit of an attitude problem (if that was even the case) was enough for them to give up on him instead of trying to work through it with him, that's an indictment on the organization.
  6. "Gillis left him nothing" is just another way of saying "I know absolutely nothing about hockey and I want to make this fact public".
  7. My favorite part is how pompous the Benning bros were about everything. And how they'd look down on you if you didn't see the "plan" and tell you that you aren't a real Canucks fan if you didn't agree with it. Looking back at this thread, seems some of the usual suspects don't even show their faces around here anymore. Go figure.
  8. 40 goals.

    Thanks Benning.

      The look on McCann's face when Vancouver called his name was all anyone needed to see to realize he wasn't going to be a Canuck for long

      @Bell more like Bart's mom said Jared McCann was a locker room cancer because he was a 19/20 year old acting like.....a 19/20 year old.:lol:

      @kanucks25 As @Bissurnette has stated, this very thread is an example of this.

       

      People gave you legitimate reasoning as why you shouldn't assume this would be the case had he been here and your response was "copium" followed by claiming you're always right. You didn't provide any insight as to why others are wrong.

       

      Now, of course, I don't expect you to listen to any of this because you're "always right" in your mind. Can't be wrong if you ignore what everyone else says.

       

      I'm also done in responding here. I've said my piece and you can take it or leave it. Otherwise, unless if you're willing to set your massive ego aside, it's just not worth my time.

  9. I really find it baffling why this toxic media is so negative about a team that has been so incredibly successful over the past decade or so. I don't know what the term is for "even better than a dynasty" but that's us, and we don't deserve this sort of disrespect.
  10. p sure i remember us firing benning or was that a dream

      Didn't you hear? We've had the same GM forever. Just jumps from body to body when the old body gets fired...

  11. I have nothing against the prospect, I hope he does well. My comment was towards those who are "confused" about us shedding a defenseman and adding another winger. The point being, this trade had nothing to do with organizational needs. We weren't going to address the defence by trading Stillman, nor does losing Stillman hurt the defence because he's like a #8 guy on a good team.
  12. There's a good chance this prospect never makes the NHL and we gave up a complete plug for him. This is almost a nothing trade, and nothing trades don't come close to addressing critical organizational needs.
  13. Bingo. Us fans are the consumer and therefore have a voice. Although I don't blame the fans for the idiotic decisions that weren't in our control, we as a whole did a major disservice to ourselves and the organization by letting the previous management team run rampant for so long. For such a "toxic" fan base, there really wasn't as much pressure on management and ownership to get their crap together despite horrific, crippling move after horrific, crippling move. Instead fans ate it all up in the name of optimism, and then as you see by the responses in this thread, have become bitter at those who tried to warn them. I hope the market has learned a valuable lesson from the Benning era. Your loyalty should be to the success of the team, not to your personal biases and petty ego. Being a "real fan" doesn't mean blindly accepting the crap sandwiches you are being fed.
  14. They claim they can turn this around in a few years. How they are going to be able to overhaul this defense in that little of time especially with OEL's contract in the way, I have no idea. That's the plan though, apparently. So we'll see what they have in store.
  15. CBJ is giving up Gavrikov and only getting a 3rd and 4th back? They're looking for a 1st + ... We're getting a 1st for Schenn and two 4ths? You need to reevaluate. e/ Although we are taking on about a million dollars real money for Smith over Schenn so in this case perhaps our portion of the deal is fair.
  16. jeez louise how about some humility? Or a thank you? gosh
  17. Mayfield is intriguing but there's probably going to be a bidding war. Hard to say if he'll be a net positive asset with the contract he gets.
  18. I don't have a problem with Juice, but I know fans of other teams do. Whether he's fair or not doesn't really matter, that's where the bias comes in. It goes both ways.
  19. You see what you want to see, which is why we have threads that end up like these.
  20. Yeah and I'm sure fans of all the other Canadian teams say the same crap about Bieksa. Get over it lol
  21. Yes and all credit for Horvat should go to the man who drafted him. Glad we agree, @Dazzle
