  1. Nope. Gillis was our most successful GM. Dubas built Leaf teams that set their club record for points. Benning.
  2. We also don't want our top guys to have to fight the other teams' knuckle draggers. If a knuckle dragger is taking runs, then Looch is the guy to take him on. As of now we don't have that guy.
  3. Hughes is the much better player. Dahlin is a dumbo.
  4. If PLD comes with an extension then it's great to move JTM for him. JTM is the better player though. And PLD likely wants the Bo overpay on his contract.
  5. Agreed that our owner carries a lot of the responsibility for Benning. Gillis, our most successful GM, told the owner we needed to rebuild and he got fired for it. Linden realized we needed to rebuild and go pushed out for his suggesting that was the correct path. So Benning was kept on for 8 years to follow the owner's dirction. He just did a terrible job at it.
  6. Old isn’t an excuse for being an ignorant, and mean spirited person.
  7. Looch likely works as hard if not harder off the ice than most players. He would be great to have here on a cheap one year contract.
  8. My “dumb” (furry) ass agrees. We will make the playoffs this year. But the stain of Benning will still be here. OEL, Poolman, Myers, Garland and a serious lack of prospects pushing from underneath. Benning
  9. To me Dubois is following the Horfat playbook to get his biggest possible contract. He’s just allowing his representatives to float rumours. A club will overpay in trade to get Dubois. And then that same club will grossly overpay to keep to justify the high cost to acquire him. Just like Horvat.
  10. Benning as a GM: worst there is; worst there was; worst there ever will be. Our club will suffer the stain of his legacy for several more years to come. Benning
  11. Exactly! After the top 4 the picks could be all over the place. Heck, Michkov could be there at 11. Or Benson. But there will be a very good prospect with elite upside.
  12. And Allvin directs his scouts to rank the prospects according to how much of a difference maker the player will be at their ceiling. If it’s D that’s likely ASP. For cowards, that might be there for us, it’s a guy like Benson.
  13. Rather have 3OA instead of Johnson. Carlsson is by far the better player.
  14. Top pairing with Rathbone ... IN ABBOTSFORD! Myers should have suitors for his whole contract after his bonus is paid. If he tries to use his No Trade to stop a trade, then put him on waivers. The team that wanted to trade for him (his contract is juicy to some) then they can just claim him.
  15. But if we can move off Garland's cap and not re-sign Bear, that clears 7. Severson should cost less than that, so it's strictly reallocating cap. Then we have a top four of Hughes, Hronek, Severson, and OEL. Myers can play the bottom pair, or we trade him post bonus if Woo is pushes him out.
  16. Is there a date that we have to qualify Bear or he becomes a UFA? I'd guess if we are interested in Severson (Partner for Hughes?) we have to clear the cap needed before the Bear UFA date. Or would we just let Bear walk anyway?
  17. Sevrson is a far better player than Marino. Marino is a McSofty. Guy never takes body contact to free up picks. His soft play is a major reason why the Devils got destroyed in the playoffs.
  18. Getting the next Bossey and another Hughes in back to back drafts would be friggin’ fantastic! 105 points next season without those two. Then they show up and say hello to Cup parades down Georgia.
