  1. Well, he’s head and shoulders above Miller so… As for now he is between players like Miller and McD. If Petey can take the next step is harder to know. He might just stay at the head-and-shoulders-above-Miller level.
  2. More like five or six… Out on a fishing expedition are you?
  3. Timrå IK is crowdfunding a return for no. 54, Dahlen. They are close to the goal. So I might get what I hoped for.
  4. Alright, play along to reach 50000 pages of drivel...
  5. Almost every team in NHL can make the playoffs with the right coach. So no, it’s not about Bennings team any longer. Everything changed when Benning/Green got fired. Everything… Psychology is important.
  6. That Petey is a beast and Myers bad should be quite clear now.
  7. I think the bit when that line held of the other teams big guns was important also. Remember that Loui had lousy coaches that didn't know how to use him. BBs attacking suis Loui better so if we got BB fsix years ago Benning and Loui would have saved their careers.
  8. He lost his confidence and he never regained it. But he still had his hockey iq, the small bit that Virtanen didn’t have. Virtanen with Louis brain would have been a monster Hence he was good at reading play and mostly covered for his linemates. As many said before… If he had cost 2 mill per year no one would have said anything.
  9. LE definately played well together with Pearson and Horvat. If he had a better coach than Green it would have been much different for him. As you probably remember Loui was the first to show how bad Green was. Later many players seem to have problems with Greens coaching strategies.
  10. Petey is already above Miller so relax. Horvat is already better than miller in playoffs so you don’t need to worry
  11. Remember that Benning gave Delorme credit for getting Petey when Delorme was way down the list of scouts recommending Petey. That fits what were said about Delorme.
  12. And? Gillis played his cards for a cup and came close. What has Benning achieved while making a similar mess of it?
  13. I say that almost every team, with the right strategy for the roster, can go a long way in playoffs. The cap flexibility should be there nevertheless. And if the oppurtunity show up we can make a move that really makes the team better.
  14. I’m not arguing your point. Benning spent every dime and that is bad when your not in a cup window. That is my point.
  15. Hierarchy… So you say the highest boss in companies is puppets, making pizza, is a bad headhunter(Green) etc. I only see a lot of excuses why Benning failed. Gillis has been the main reason before Benning got fired. After that, when Benning himself managed to be worse than Gillis, it’s the owner, Green or whatever.
  16. Exactly, wich is why they failed their objective. They were loosers.
  17. If you’re spending every dollar up to cap it’s resonable to expect a playoff spot. At least compete for the last ones(so it’s a failure to spend every dime and miss playoffs). And if your not you should leave a lot of millions up to cap so you’re prepared when the right player is available.
  18. Who is the guy that knows most about an NHL organisation? Benning or Aquaman? If you say Aquaman is the most knowledgable of the two I agree with you.
