This is good. While I agree he has made questionable signings, he has given this team the deepest prospect pool ever.
Assuming this core stays together, if this team wins a cup in the next ten years, Benning deserves much credit.
Also, I find the argument that "Scouts were responsible for drafting Pettersson, not Benning" an absolute joke. This argument can be made for every superstar ever drafted. 'Brian Burke didn't draft the Sedins, Tomas Gradin did". It's under the GM's watch, period.
