Most of the moves I had an issue with came in the first couple of years, and even those I understand better when taken as part of the overall strategy. Seeing Benning take EP and then watching CDC melt down was all I needed to be confident that Benning is far smarter than us. Excited to see the team next year, with even more great prospects ready to break in. yep you have seen the light brother , yes everything does take time yep first years were rocky . but we are on the right road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait to see if he recoups a first rounder and How the season goes before passing judgement.

Where'd Luongo? Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I don't think it's well deserved at all. He has done 1/3 of his job well and the rest has been a crap shoot. Here's hoping this isnt a mistake and jb had learned from his terrible mistakes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the mess ole mikey g left so mike g is the greatest gm ever ? ummm how come he hasn't worked since then , you think teams would be all over him but they are not right? #should'vegottinridofgillissooner 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bree2 Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 well I am super happy Benning is with our team for at least a few more years. he has earned it. I have to say I am so excited for this season to start and it is all because of Benning. some on here doing nothing but complaining are truly not Canuck fans , they are only on here to stir up trouble and they have made themselves look so small. 3 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 11 minutes ago, Sbriggs said: Its not about everything being good its about "show me what you've done lately" Theres not one GM who hasn't made bad moves, and several more who can't draft worth a sh*t etc Gillis. Benning is showing improvement in all aspects of his job and deserves some respect, the crime is you don't give him any I give him respect. When the club makes moves I like I give him full marks. I like that he's honest with the media. I loved the Pettersson pick, I think he did a great job bringing Travis Green on board. I just try to call it like I see it. Even though I'm not fully on board with the Miller trade, I'm the most excited I've been in years for the start of the season. That should signal some kind of happiness or respect for the job done this offseason, no? I'm not up in arms about him getting an extension. I think the extension is fair, I don't have a problem with it. Now we'll see how he can manage the cap, prepare for the ED, & surround the new core. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB43 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’m excited to get to see his full vision pan out, and I do believe he finally is taking us in the right direction and building an empire. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bree2 Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 I just proved my point that some of you have no clue what you are on about. do you even know what a rebuild is?

Coconuts Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Fantastic news, I'm looking forward to seeing how this team competes, develops and gradually takes steps away from the bottom. JB hasn't done a perfect job, no gm does. But he's gone a good job and I like the way this team and prospect pool is trending. Nice news right before the weekend. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scouts should get the extension, not jb. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
