    The same Tallon who doesnt like analytics? Same gm who gave up Reilly Smith and Marchessault to Vegas for nothing? Also Trochek for nothing? You are straight up out of your mind if you think Tallon is a top 10 GM.

    AGAIN....PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR GM

     

    I'm "straight out of my mind" ...got it

    Now.. how 'bout Benning ?

    Try not insulting others, even Canuck Gms and maybe you get treated better.

    Make your point without insulting others and the world may smile on you.

    Again...lets try to keep this as a GM evaluation....not a personal attack on me.

     

    There's nothing said in here that's gonna bother me in the slightest...Its just a complete waste of time.

    Defend your GM if you feel my thoughts are inaccurate

    So instead you want 7x10m Dale Tallon? The guy who hasn't been able to turn Ekblad, Huberdeau and Dadanov into a good team? The guy who traded Marchessault to Vegas for scraps so they could ALSO pick Reilly Smith? The guy who has made the playoffs once in the past decade with an abundance of top 10 picks?

    Yup...would stand his record as a GM next to Bennings all day long.

    I would prob grade them an 8.5 and a 2 so far in their respective careers.

    what happened, HF Boards shut down today? 

     

    It must be hard for you seeing the Canucks improve. 

    If anyone in here disagrees with him being an absolute JOKE as a GM..

    List EVERY move he has made as GM and grade them 1-10.

    The avg grade would be WELL below 4, even if being generous

     

    Insulting me DOESN'T CHANGE A THING, NOR DOES IT MAKE HIM ANY SMARTER OR LESS INCOMPETENT

    All I can say is if you think people who talk slowly are dumb then that makes you the dumbo. Jim Benning is clearly an intelligent man. Francesco Aquilini isn't a stupid man. He is a great business man. Are you saying he would hire an idiot to run his most precious asset? And give that idiot a renewed contract? You must know better than everyone. How come you are posting poorly written rants on some message board? Hey why don't you go and apply to be GM of the Florida Panthers and show us how it is done. LOL.

    Jim Benning is INTELLIGENT ????

    Wow...that's a first

    I doubt the man even completed high school

     

    He clearly struggles with comprehension of the english language and has trouble stringing a sentence together with out using the words "you know"

     

    Tallon>Benning...and it isn't even CLOSE !

    Mike Keenan, Dave Nonis, Hal Laycoe, Jack Gordon all say hi.  We’re starting to see Benning vision come to fruition.  Gillis had success yes, but he left the cupboards absolutely empty.  

    Were surrendering high 2nd round picks for Vey, Baer and Gudbranson part of this "Benning vision" ?

    6M x 6 ! for Erix

    If we didn't have a great GM in JB already, I'd love to have Tallon be the GM of the Canucks.

    Great GM...RFLMAO

     

    Dumbo is the lowest IQd, least competent GM in all of sport.

    I can't even stand  listening to the man speak.

    Has a couple good draft picks in 6 yrs( which by most reports...weren't even his)..

     

    He has been a COMPLETE disaster in every other facet of running a hockey club.

    (FA signings,trades, contracts. rule compliance...you name it. He is apparently a joke league wide)

    Not only has he sucked as a GM...he has run off every competent person in the organization.

     

    The ONLY people who feel to the contrary are the posters on this forum.

    Spending 3.5 on Ferland was pretty low risk imo. He's a physical monster and can score 20. If the health isn't there, fine, he can stay on the LTIR and not hurt he cap. Only costing the owner money, not the team's cap, and Aquaman can afford it.

     

    I think today showed why Sutter and Roussel are important, but Sutter is off the books at the end of the year anyways. 

    Benning was the only GM out of 31 that offered him a contract by several reports. That is why the # was so low.

    If you think this was a good signing ....remind me never to hire you to run my business.

  9. Think Podz is going to be a real nice compliment to this group....

    Another reason why Toffoli shouldn't be a huge priority for the team.

     

    All efforts and any extra cap space should be focused on acquiring a top 4 RHD

    (Tanev or Stetches $$ plus Ferlands 3.5 LTIR = RHD upgrade)

    *Be great if Seattle would bite on Myers.

     

              Petey  Boes

    Miller    Bo   

     

    Podz/Jake/Hogs rounding out the top 6

     

    will be a very formidable top 6 in a couple years.

    If Gaudette can continue to improve in 3c role and we can surround him w/some

    big tuff fast ELC wingers...Hogs looks to be one.

    Wish had kept Madden/McCann/all those 2nds that have wasted for the likes of Baer Vey Gudbranson and Toffoli

     

    All the squandered  Erix/Ferland/Sutter/Roussel/Baer/Beagle $$ coming off in couple yrs

     

    Really see this current teams window beginning in 2021/22 - ??

    Hi guys, I am quite confused about how the cap works. 

     

    My understanding is that assuming that Ferland is eligible for LITR right now, this does not help Vancouver's cap challenge for next season because Vancouver must be fully cap compliant ($81.5 M cap limit) before next season's training camp and/or regular season taking into account of Ferland's $3.5 M cap hit. Am I interpreting the CBA correctly? I am aware of the further complication of bonus. 

    No...u r not.

     

    Teams can go over the cap by 10% prior to 1st game when must become compliant.

    Furthermore if a player is deemed unhealthy to begin season...they can be placed on LTIR on top of the 10%

     

    I think safe to assume that we have seen the last of Ferland and gained 3.5 in Cap Space.

    He will however be paid the full remainder of his salary.

  11. Ferland is done...take the $$ our knucklehead GM gave you and enjoy your life while it's still possible

     

    Hopefully, Dumbos learned his lessons and wont be giving out 3-4 million contracts to bottom 6 players.

    28m in our bottom 6?

    Need to find the McEwens  etc...Hopefully, Lind can win a spot soon.

    Hogs and Podz should fill a couple spots for next few yrs.

     

    Erix,Beagle,Sutter,Ferland,Roussel.Pearson all need to be gone ASAP

    24M of easily replaceable old baggage.

    (Absolutely amazing to me that our GM still has a job)

     

    Get Jake on a cheap contract...

    At worst he's a very serviceable top 6 winger during the Reg season...

    Has had flashes w/both Petey and Bo.

    Hopefully, this team has enough talent to reach the point where every game isn't do or die and his inevitable gaffs aren't as critical.

     

    Need to hang on to guys like Madden,McCann to fill 3rd-4th center spots.

    Gaudette may still fill the 3rd role.
