  1. No trade deadline would be complete without Benning moving a pick for someone who can’t play in the NHL.
  2. I think we can all agree that he would be worth at least 1/2 of what Sam Bennett got. (2) 2nd round picks. Hell even a little less than half, A 3rd. This return is literally nothing. I’m not even mad anymore. Just a normal day at the office.
  3. You have nothing. You’re a parrot. I keep feeding you crackers and you keep saying the same stuff over and over. $3m is a lot when you don’t have $3m. Why couldn’t he just chill? He already said he wasn’t trading anyone cause of Covid. What is wrong with just waiting and seeing what is going on? I’m not going to even get into how abundant a Left Shooting winger is in the NHL. There is absolutely nothing special about Pearson. There is no need to race for the pen. This is the Birth of another turd, in 3 years you’ll be telling me how good he is at killing penalties and insulating our young guys with his 7 goals and 8 assists in 57 games.
  4. The only plan he has when those expensive vets get off the books is replacing them with more expensive vets. He already started using that up with Tanner “Generic top 6 forward you can acquire at any point in any era past present or future” Pearson for the next 3 years. Planned hahahaha. K
  5. Look at the team before you and explain to me how that isn’t exquisitely incompetent salary cap management. We have a young core ready to burst out of this metaphorical capcoon surrounding them. We don’t have the money to improve our team lol. We actually have to hope Seattle throws us a life line and takes one of our horrible contracts so we can fit the players we have hahaha. And you’re telling me this is building a team.
  6. Don’t insult my intelligence. Just because someone has a different idea than you doesn’t mean they don’t “understand” I have no problem with a full, down to the ground rebuild and I have no problem with doing it on the fly. The problem I have is incompetence. The method is irrelevant. Boston did a great job of rebuilding on the fly, Colorado did a great job of building it from the ground up. The difference between Joe and Jim is Joe actually knows what the hell he is doing.
  7. Ok fine, let’s say he wasn’t forced. Doesn’t that make him even more incompetent? Lol, like seriously man. He is a cap management disaster. This isn’t a narrative I’m pulling out of thin air either. The overwhelming consensus of the local and national media is that Jim Benning is salary cap dyslexic.
  8. The Aquilini‘s are so unbelievably cheap that they don’t even provide water for their immigrant workers. Are you implying that they forced Jim Benning to spend all the money he possibly could? I just don’t buy this at all. If Jim went to Francisco and said, “listen. I appreciate your willingness to spend to the cap but I think we need to stay close to the cap floor and build up an abundance of assets. When we draft the framework of our core (now) we can then use our cap space to exploit contenders in cap trouble (like the Schmidt and Miller trades) and use our abundance of assets we collected to cash in on the final pieces of the core” you’re telling me that cheap SOB is going to dismiss that? This is another fabricated narrative constructed by the Benning boys to justify his cap mismanagement. There is absolutely zero evidence of any of this. The only evidence is how horrible our team is and how much it costs to ice that team. I don’t make stuff up to soothe myself. I just look at the product he has produced over the past 7 years.
  9. We cost as much as the Tampa Bay Lighting dude. I know what his plan is and I think it sucks. It’s not a plan that’s working. I seriously can’t believe how bad our cap situation is for where we are and have been in the standings.
  10. So you degrade All Prairie people cause one of them made fun of midgets? Eye for an eye I guess..
  11. I can’t reveal my true identity because stealth will gut me like the big I am. So I’m just going to make an official statement that I am a new user pretending to be a past user. I’m going to go on a journey and put myself in the shoes of this former legendary poster and tell you. 1. I just got my TN work visa and am heading to Texas to work on... um, solar panels. @Jimmy McGill knows. 2. I am totally rock throwing drunk from a 2.5hr layover in Phx. The lady is shutting the overhead compartments. She loves me. I can tell. 2.1 if I was this legendary past user. I would tell you that I miss having fun conversations with the guys I disagree with. I disagree with you but at the same time I’m trying to make you laugh more than anything. I hope you understand that. 3. We do not agree but I respect you because you informatively challenge my nonsense. 3.6. I love all of you.
  12. Pearson is the most Generic forward possible, ever. (If that’s even possible to quantify). Even his physical appearance. If I told my 8 year old daughter to draw a hockey player, that drawing would look just like Pearson. He isn’t good or bad at anything. He just fills a sweater and plays hockey.
  13. Lol, it’s a good thing we invested $3.25 x 3 on the most abundant player in hockey. I’ve slept on this signing a few nights and I just keep getting more and more disgusted about it. The Tampa Bay Lightning pay the same amount of money for their team as we do. Let that grow roots in your soul. We are so screwed.
  14. World? The Canucks aren’t my world there rain drop.
  15. RU SERIOUS? It’s just so compelling to see someone suggest coaching as the biggest issue this team has. You sound like a homeless drug addict blaming society. I’m a huge supporter of 95% of the coaching in the league over the last 30 years. 95% of the time it’s the players, not the coaches. If a professional athlete needs a coach to prepare them for a hockey game while being paid millions of dollars then those aren’t professionals and those aren’t players you want on your team. Coaching changes are the biggest cop out in hockey. Look at Buffalo and Calgary for example, what a turnaround.
  16. By push and shelter you mean hold back? This is such a homer narrative. What does Pearson have to earn? Absolutely nothing. I’m so tired of this “Young guys need to earn their spots” bs when all the Vets had to do was sign a contract. A great example of this is Benn over Juolevi. How did Benn earn that spot over Juolevi? It’s garbage and that Veteran “chain of command” mentality is dated. Pearson can’t be challenged or replaced organically. He will always have a spot on the roster because he is making full time roster money.
  17. He will look at the cap when it’s time to look at the cap, today he is focused on today.
  18. Yes let’s compare the one off generational talent that rebounded after partying too hard. I don’t criticize every move he makes. I loved Schmidt, JT Miller, his ability to put together a scouting staff to draft the core. He has done some great things. It’s just a shame that he is so horrible at signing contracts and general organization. Ill call that out every time.
