CptCanuck16 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yes! No one can question Benning's judgement after the stellar weekend Loui Erickson had. Such a good contract! All jokes aside I have no problem with JB. He seems to be doing a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took Boeser because they needed a scoring winger. They took Hughes because they needed an offensive defenceman to increase scoring from the back end. They took Jake because they wanted a power forward. The took Juolevi because they wanted premier defenceman who could move the puck. When HAVEN'T they taken somebody based on positional need? Pettersson - BPA Boeser - BPA Hughes - BPA Virtanen - maybe your narrative holds water on that one Juolevi - your narrative holds water here So the first 3 above were all BPA. Just because you say they picked because of positional need doesn't make it true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without EP though, I think this ‘dynasty’ is a dud. That one player makes this team, no offence Marky. Well that is how superstars affect their teams. Edmonton with McDavid. Pitts with Crosby. Capitals with Ovechkin. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotashi Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 While a bit overly optimistic the article rings true. I say it that way because until we have playoff success Jim Benning hasn't really been tested yet by way of the team he has built. I know his vision is not yet complete, not until we see the likes of Tryamkin, OJ, Hoglander etc. come up and play some serious NHL games for us. I dont see us making the playoffs this year so were talking about another 2-3 years before were in a serious playoff hunt, but realistically 3-4 before we are contenders. So I love what GMJB has done so far but history will show if we do not win a cup JB will be remembered on the same level as Mike Gillis no better than. I know people will hate on that but you need to remember we have already have been to game 7 for a GM to truly rise above we need the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how crappy our team is if you just take away Petey, Brock, Bo and Quinn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleech Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Can we make the playoffs once before we start talking about our powerhouse team. Benning owes his job to Pettersson, can you imagine our team with Glass instead of him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Horvat isn’t exactly Malkin, Backstrom or Leon, though not much to disagree with here, minus the missing context of labelling the Canucks a dynasty despite such roster differences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Timbermen Posted December 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think the futures bright. Who cares about this dynasty talk. There are no dynastys in the NHL anymore since the Islanders, Oilers, Canadians. Too many teams, tell me who's a dynasty in the NHL? St.Loius? LasVegas? There aren't any, a team like Tampa Bay wins the president trophy by almost 20 points from the next best team and gets swept in 4 straight in the first round. Just make the playoffs and you have as good a chance as anyone. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
