[Report] Canucks to part ways with Judd Bracket

I mean, I love the Canucks... I just can't imagine ever getting to a point in my life where I would get so emotional about a scout/GM. 

 

Also, how arrogant are people to think that they actually have a clue what definitely does/does not happen in the Canucks' organization. Maybe Benning is a grandiose, delusional asshole. Maybe he is forward-thinking and recognized that a scout wasn't going to add enough to justify a bigger role? I have no idea. I don't know why other people think that they do.

All because Benning wanted Glass

You mean the guy that over-excitedly pointed at EP blowing his cover to trade down wanted a guy that if he really wanted that he could've simply taken since he had the final call and he was still available?

 

Besides let's ridicule the guy for supposedly wanting the projected BPA at the time and at the same time criticize him for not taking the projected BPA in the Tkachuk-Juolevi year. Nothing contradictory here. If anything this shows that Benning and crew and willing to make bold moves in picking below the projected BPA by these media "experts".

The three people who were the most responsible to select Petey have been forced out by Benning 

Did they fire DeLorme, Gradin and Hammarstrom?

[Qwags]

Only in Vancouver would this be a big deal. For that reason, I'm not worried. Awfully convenient how Brackett is responsible for all our good picks, while Benning is responsible or wanted terrible picks. 

 

Brackett was with us for 12 years, only during the last 5 was any sort of impact felt. You know who else was here for the last 5 years? Jim Benning.

Judd only reached his level of exceptionalism because of the structure and belief Jim Benning created and placed in him. I wish him the best and we will do just fine without him. Give it 2 years and this won't seem like big news. Judd was the director of scouting. All of those NCAA recommendations came from the entire scouting staff not just Judd. Best of luck fella. We want to win a cup and I trust Jim's talent evaluation over that of Judd. Jim has a ring and was the one that transformed our scouting department. I have no fears.

Depending on his pull, Judd Bracket may be able to poach some scouts and staff from the Canucks in the near future.

oh no a scout isn't coming back  , oh no dim jim  is ruining the team  ,  oh no we wont be able to draft any good players again ,  oh no  the sky is falling   ,  don't ya think maybe bracket wanted to go in a different direction in his career  , but no  , it is just benning fault   , you probably blame benning for covid  if you could

I’m sure Canucks will be fine. 

 

Now....Get the season started

It seems you and @Squamfan agree on 1/3.

Linden and the scouting who was watching him in Sweden

[Rush17]

@-Vintage Canuck- Thanks for the tweets.

 

 

So Jim gave Brackett an opportunity of the lifetime... He nurtured him... Then Judd wants a fresh start because he wants more say. Why is Jim being vilified here? Judd got his opportunity because Jim took a chance on him. We are fine we have plenty of capable scouts. The love affair with this man in bananas.

You're being ridiculous and factually incorrect on that last point. Ron Delorme was the one who put Petey on the map. How TF do you know that JB was hell bent on Glass and had to be talked into picking Petey by Brackett? JB is on record giving credit to Delorme for being a loud voice in the room and putting Petey on the map (see link below). So I have no idea where you made up that narrative about Glass, and Brackett fighting tooth and nail for Petey. Let me guess, some media guy tweeted about it as if they're in the room when the amateur scouting meetings were taking place? Where we might miss Judd is in the later rounds. That's where amateur scouting truly comes in. But we'll see how that goes over the next few years. You don't know sh*t about the extent of anyone's involvement in scouting so stop pretending. None of us know. Go for a walk, take a deep breath and cool down. You're not doing anyone any service by spreading made up narratives without a shred of evidence.

shhh, now. Lets not remind anyone there's still an actual scouting group in place. 

 

@Squamfan when the draft does arrive, could you at least wait to see how the kids do before you immediately trash the picks as "Bennings" and must be horrible? 

[Rush17]

Jim was giddy over the fact they would get Petey. I don't buy the whole "Jim had to be sold on petey".

no. Jim hates everything Brackett did. Everything. All of it. Cuz Lindens man. Thats why he didn't just fire Judd when Linden left, so he could kick him every day. 

 

 

I'm pleased this story has come to an end. Its been dumb.

Ron Delorme. And it seems JB was listening to him.

How do you know what Jim hates? lol. Like seriously... Jim made him the director of scouting because he liked what he brought to the table. Hate.. such a strong word that should not be used lightly. Did they have disagreements? no doubt.. dislike each other I doubt even that.
