How crazy is it that's it's been nearly a decade since we had a coach who just dumbed down the game and focused on playing players where they are most likely to succeed... Wow, a player who has a great shot should maybe shoot a lot?!? Not Torts ("get down and block those shots Boes"), Willie ("Megna is taking your spot in the top 6"), or Green ("park yourself behind the net"), that's for damn sure...

If Not For 1 Fatal Mistake Jim Benning May Still Be Our GM

But that's what I mean.. how can you defend that? Two players who played a part in getting the team to the 2nd round of the playoffs sitting right in front of you, one of whom is the D-partner of one of the best d-men who has ever put on a Canucks uniform, and you're distracted by some shiny new toys in the shop window? Just screams of incompetence to me. -

This is a prime example of you guys making excuses for Benning... no one is asking anyone to have known that Juolevi would end up dealing with so many injuries.. we simply wanted him to take the BPA, who was without question, Tkachuk. Can you explain this? We added Holtby and Schmidt, who cost more than Tanev, Toffoli + a ~$2M backup would've cost.. -

More accurately: Holtby, Schmidt and Virtanen ($12.8M) over Toffolli, Tanev (~$8.5M) + a cheap backup & ~$2M of cap space to work with
