Bennings terrible pro scouting and player analysis
Timråfan replied to DefCon1's topic in Canucks Talk
I’m a bit curious, what is the bad stuff and headsratching? -
Someone said Florida only has 4 drafted players. How does that fit your narrative? They aren’t the only team that are successfull and trade for players instead of using draft as the main source. The draft for success seems to be a romantic view of how it really works.

And used words like messy, flubbed, traded a tonne of picks, worst salary cap ever… Yeah, benefit of the doubt just after you cut of their head. -

Nahh, that is what some of us call PTBSD. Without Bennings failed trades you wouldn’t think like that. Also Greens inapt coaching skills so players like Schmidt comes here and become Loui the second. A normal view without the PTBSD is ”wow, a top RHD, amazing… Finally someone good on the right side”. If it doesn’t pan out we deal with the negative emotions when it happens, not before it happens. -

Nothing, but you can choose to be on a positive note since the aquisition of a player like Hronek is rare with this club. Just the small tiny bit that Yzerman choose to do business with PA could be impressive since Benning wasn’t close to get such a trade. -
So Petey don’t touch Mackinnon, McDavid or Draisatl? 5v5 he is better than Draisatl, 1 point behind McDavid and better than Mackinnons 9 seasons before this. Wouldn’t a stat like 5v5 be the one comparition that say wich player is the best? Wich D is better? Makar is maybe better but he has got a much better surrounding cast and he is one year older than Hughes.

I bet you only got one tenth of liquid left in your glass. My is still half full til I see how next season goes. -
The grit/fight is partly built up through play off experiance. We’ll have to see how this team handle the playoffs the coming season. After that PA and Tocchet will decide what upgrades necessary if PA haven’t done that already.

I always have fun when Benning long after Brackett and others were interwied how the drafting of Petey went down, talked about Delorme as in it was Delorme that pushed for Petey. Brackett would have said something about that if Delorme had anything to do with it. But now both Brackett and Hammarström is fired so they had to pay the price doing interviews that Benning didn’t like. -

Lol, so it was suicide alert when Benning was GM? The difference in quality is amazing so if you’re not impressed it must have been really bad before. -
Ok, Mikh, Demko and OEL played injured. That is not the exact team Beside Hronek, Silovs is backup goalie. Beau came in and we got Hirose stabilising the D. That is 6 different players not counting Hronek.

Agree regarding reaching the full potential. Just look at Petey. Now is he close to the player he can be. What I mean is that the player has reached a level to start play in NHL. But Abby can be best place to start.

Wow, the Bennings baby sitters haven’t crawled out of the players sticks jet(are they the reason of all the broken sticks when Petey tries to shoot?) Only three brown bags jet. I wonder how many we’ll see when the night comes. -

Aha, so the obsession with Gillis is unreal times 2 since he was before Benning. -

You’re fine, that’s more of a yellow bag. -

Hmm, your obsession for brown bags can be an indication of drinking problem. Have you tried the AA? -
I’m a little bit curious if the SHL prospects needs more than a year in SHL before NHL. It’s not like the childrens leagues in WHL and so on. It’s the third league in the world with men against men. Leo Carlsson plays for Sweden already in WC par example. ASP after a year in SHL after the draft is probably a 5/6 D already with a lot of development.

Well, if we had Edler(if he can play for the Kings he can play for us), Tanev, Toffoli and Marky we would have played playoff since the bubble. -

Ohh, now you really opened the can of brown bag emojis -
For me it’s about 8,5 mill for a 2nd C

I tried a bit tongue in cheek. Sorry for being swedish so you had to explain.

Peanuts is a player I’ve never heard anything of. Any good?

I hope you understand why Hronek is better than a 17 oa and 2nd pick… How many players did Benning draft that has an impact on the Canucks beside Petey, Hughes, Demko and my favourite, Silovs? Petey and Hughes were favourable picks, Demko and Silovs goalies so we can remove the goalies. Petey and Hughes, what more of Bennings eight years drafting?
