Nothing to disagree about. This is the exact result of JB’s work broken down.
since we can never have a perfect baseline in any comparison, the best we can hope to do is assume that the drafting would have similar results if our team was full of garbage like Schaller, Dorsett, vey compared to icing a team full of UFA’s, waiver wire pick ups, and AHLers. Since you can’t really finish worse than 3rd last, 6th last, and 9th last we will assume the main core is the same.
So our main core would be EP, Hughes hopefully, Boeser, Horvat, Myers , and Edler.
So that would be the same or similar regardless if we went the dim Jim retard route or the proper rebuild route.
So now that has been established, fast forward 5 years later.
lets ask the simple question who would help and support our core win a cup better?
27 year old baerschit one concussion away from retiring or 23 year old 2nd round pick drafted pretty high?
Dorsett sitting at home drinking beer or a 23 year old 3rd rnd prospect?
Mcaan, 22 year old 2nd, 22 year old 3rd or tanner fricking Pearson?
go through EVERY Single trade he has ever made with the same question. And it’s 100% safe to say that besides the Burrows and Hansen trades, we would be much better off with what we gave up.
Its pretty cut cut and dry. Benning span his wheels for 5 years and saddled us with unmovable garbage like Schaller, Erikkson, and beagle and we didn’t benefit from any of his moves. We would have been much better off with what he traded away than what we got. Not sure if there is anything to disagree with. The comparisons are right there for everyone to plainly see.
OP is bang on. That is plain to see for anyone that looks at this realistically and without the Canuck cheerleading poms poms on.
