Did you mix the GM/owner bit? I can say that if Benning had an meddling owner he should have hired a president but if Benning wanted to decide for himself he convinces the owner that a president isn’t needed. I get Trumpvibes from Benning and his pal Weisbroad.
-
I talked about balls… You didn’t understand that part huh? If the top man in the company can’t handle the owner he isn’t qualified for the job. It’s very easy. We’re not talking about an underpaid pizza baker here.
-
Thanks for put some more nails in Bennings coffin. A GM that let himself be overruled under 8 years doesn't have the balls to be a GM.
-
I think we went past each other now… As I repeted a lot of times. A GM isn’t a scout. All of you talking about Benning as good only speak of the roster. Why judge a GM based on the roster when it’s a ton of people involved in the roster process? A GM should be judged on valuation of the team(company), communication skills and shrewdness in business. Neither was anything Benning was good at even. This isn’t hating. It’s an analyse using business googles. Try that sometime… Almost every team in NHL should be able to compete for playoff since there are a cap limit. So if you’re at bottom you failed, tries to save money or is in tank mode.
-
Cherrypicking much huh? Hughes contract was really good also but that isn’t enough. The bad stuff made a lot of problems and you seem to think that spending every cap space available is good. Why? It is so stupid to do so when you’re a bottom or middle team.
-
What? Benning handcuffed the new management so much I truly believe Benning did it on purpose when he knew he was on the way out.

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Timråfan replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yes you can -
So your antics is to make fun and laugh at other posters… You can shake hands with Benning then as he had a similar character. The proof is in the pudding. Bennings long gone and we’ll see if he ever get a job as GM again.
-
Why is some posters here only focused on the players? A GM isn’t a scout or a coach. It is the leader of a multi million company that needs to be extremely good at communicating. Communicating skills and intelligence is way above anything regarding scouting. And… The GM leads by example. Benning didn’t have a great character wich means his players doesn’t have to bother either.
-
Well, some have low standards. A proffessional should be proffessional in every situation. Benning wasn't able to be proffessional. So laugh as much you can.

I’m not sure what you mean by your post. Should I feel sorry for a guy that went in over his head and couldn’t handle it? Nope, he isn’t skilled enough to be a GM and he was exposed with how he dealt both Dahlen and Loui through media. He was a disgrace and it is bad for a team to have a GM that behaves that way. Later his lack of communication skills with Tanev, Toffoli etc showed more of his shortcomings. I don’t think I have to get into that he spent every cap penny he had so that nothing could be don when it got serious. Very bad and I don’t feel sorry for him at all. He had his chance and he blew it. Probably too old school and country clubminded.
-
And that’s it… Assistent… You put too much value in the assistant role. It’s a completely different thing to be a GM.
-
Doesn’t say much. It seems like it made the situation worse. Some people just don’t have ”it”.
-
Why bother about a scout that went way over his head? Benning should have stayed at scout level.

It might be a trick. They want character and not skill. JR decides etc… -
[Signing] Flames re-sign Jonathan Huberdeau
Timråfan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Make no mistake. The Canuck stars are Hughes, Petey and Demko and they will get paid. With also an expensive RHD I don’t know how to fit an aging pro like Huberdeau, Gadreau or Miller. No matter who it is. -

Found it for you https://youtu.be/2xjaLxHLE0I -
The discussion you and Provost had was quite interesting. Both was right and wrong at the same time.
-
I’m fine with Benning gone so he and Dahlen can meet up in Sweden later.
-
Finally you’re badmouthing Benning…

[Signing] Flyers re-sign Zack MacEwen
Timråfan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
So, is it Green that made Zack look lost on the ice or is he similar to Virtanen? -

Wasn’t his mother doing all the hard work? -
Fuse any two Canucks! (and send them through time!)

Maybe Petey and Gino, El Gino -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Timråfan replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Well, the critique against Benning is primarerly how bad he was communicating and spent every penny up to cap while the team were in the bottom. It left the new management outcapped and they could only make minor adjustments. Especially since they don’t want to get rid of any 1st and 2nd draft picks. The ones Benning gave away almost for free since the team isn’t in a window jet. Give the new management two years. By then they don’t have Myers and Millers/Horvats destiny is decided. -
First Concert: Boppers Last Concert: well, I see a lot of live music but not what I think about as concerts. Best Concert: Alice In Chains Worst Concert: Maybe Chuck Berry in his sixties singing My dingeling… Ruined my image of a rock’n’roll icon. Loudest Concert: Nazareth or Guns’n’Roses with Skid Row Seen the Most: De Soto Most Surprising: Lars Vegas Trio Next Concert: In the mist. Wish I Could Have Seen: Woodstock 69 would have been a safe bet.
