I think you can't tell me where he trew Green under the bus because you only read through google translate...

I think a lot of you fans have a hard time to get behind your players. And who trolls... I have to answer the same $&!# from multiple posters.

Please take the article and show where Loui threw Green under the bus.

?

You have a hard time separating facts from fiction. If I talk about how the head of an organisation handles a problem it's not about a swedish player except that I read the article in the right context because I understand both questions and answers. Most people here use google translate and it's not a good idea. If Benning himself used Google transöate he should be fired instantly. I don't think Loui had a good WC.

How am I harmed if Benning isn'tt fit to be a GM? The club is the victim...

I can't say much about it else than there is more aspects than just Gillis and Benning regarding draft success.

How do I stand by Loui? Please explain...

I really think that the GM/head of a club should defend the players also and if the don't at least be diplomatic/neutral. Don't expose or put the blame on a single player. Talk about strategies, journalists whatever but keep out from put the blame on players.

Still stuck with the swedish thing huh?

Still nothing to do with them regarding Bennings answers. Sorry, if you think Benning did a great job in those interviews you have a very low standard.

Goodness me... I thought everyone knew these days how a journalist work. You should get behind your players.

Why is it so hard to understand that Dahlen isn't the issue. The problem is how the head of Vancouver Canucks handle fairly difficult situations. Benning act like a spoiled kid when he talks about "spoiled kids". Benning should answer questions in a neutral, diplomatic way.

Well, Benning is whining and if the GM is allowed it spreads quickly in the organisation.. But Loui didn't whine, he answered the question honestly.

Ok, so I won't see the other team lure Green into their traps the coming season then... Fine by me. I will watch with interest.

What are you talking about? Loui answered the questions from the journalist and didn't whine abit. The header is what people remembers and that was from the journalist to get viewers... The Dahlen issue is something I know to little about. But I know that Benning defended himself instead of just make some general, neutral comments so he is not fit to be a GM What Benning did so wrong with Loui is that he should have kept his mouth shut and put the blame on the journalist. Instead he questions his own player... Benning is Not fit to be the head of a top organisation.

Explain what you mean please...

Think a bit longer than so. I answer negativity against players with negativity against coach and GM. I show that there is more to how good a player is on the ice than the player himself. Pouliot isn't a swede and I think he showed signs of greatness. With a better coach you all could have thought he was great. Or is Pouliot a swede?

Ok, so all the posts about how bad players are and get rid of them are positive comments?

Inge Hammarström is the scout behind Petey, not Benning. Inge is also the reason Dahlen came here. Again, Benning is talking in public about man management issues he only should talk in private with Loui. The same mistake he did with Dahlen? How unprofessional can GM be and still work as one? If other GM is as public with internal affairs as Benning, the whole NHL seems to be a playground for leftovers...

So the fact that Benning had a swedish topscout that knew everything about Petey is all Bennings scouting? Then, another fact is that Gillis never had the chance to draft as high as Benning did so it's virtual impossible to compare them.

If he defends Petey itvs alright with such a player but if he play dirty on the other teams star and they let their Lucic kick Petey as a revenge it seems like a really bad deal. Is Lucic only defending the team or is he just dirty all over the ice?

Why not learn a rebuilding team defence before aggressive play?

Well, JB maybe is good at scouting but general manager is a bit different than scouting... And Utica isn't an option for neither of them.

I doesn't hate either Green and Benning. I just think they don't qualifie to be either coach or GM for an NHL-team. This should be the best league in the world... Or? Loui is better in his position than they are in their positions.
