  1. I would give Benning until the end of next season. If we’re not a playoff team Axe him.
  2. There’s 8-10 guys like him in the minors they could probably be had for a 4th liner+ a 4th rd pick.
  3. Would anyone be opposed to trading for Gabriel, McDermid, B. Gleason or A. Englund? It’d be nice to have that one guy that screams don’t mess with anyone on this team... and it’s not like it would hurt to dress a guy like that.
  4. I think after Gadj got claimed, you would have kept MaC as your 23rd man just in case. And if Mac wasn’t checking off enough boxes, you’d think you’d waive him first and try to work with Gadj if you see him having more potential.
  5. I think they travel together and would stay at the same hotel, probably same restaurants at dinner and breakfast lots of the time on road trips. I think “in the room” is a phrase used for just team interactions in general. Maybe he’s witnessed something from their interactions at practices/game day skates, outside the rink that isn’t good... if a person was to give Hirsch the benefit of the doubt.
  6. Fair enough, but I have a question; who decided the cuts/team in training camp. I think that should answer who goes. I think waving both possible spark plugs was a mistake. You could survive one or the other. Also most teams might carry 25 players into their last 2 games of training camp... maybe 4 guys fighting for 2 spots... we basically carried 2 training camp squads at that point. Whoever made that decision put this team behind the 8 ball. And if it was that hard of a decision, it speaks volumes about how awful 1/2 this team is.
  7. I think if it’s on them then that means they’ve built the wrong team. And since it’s not a little bit wrong, but they’re a bottom feeder type wrong... then you need to blow up the core and restart a rebuild. That’s why I think they’ll try a different coach. To see what this Core can do with a different voice or at the very least to see if there’s anything worth keeping.
  8. Coaches in modern days seem to have a 5 year shelf life. GMs about 10.
  9. I think if we’re getting a new GM and this team has been a bottom feeder next 2 years, I’d think anyone not named Demko could be on the move. Our Foundational players don’t look like they’re much to build on currently.
  10. If Benning goes, that means a full rebuild and ANYONE could be traded in the fire sale.
  11. Every GM gets 2-3 coaches. Since the first one was trying to give the Sedins a final run, I don’t think that’ll be a strike against Benning. I think Green will be though. So I could see 1 more coaching change if it happens this season. But that would also leave a very short leash for Benning.
  12. Don’t be too hard on Demko. He’s bailed the whole team out pretty much all year.
  13. I wonder if we’d be winless without him. He’s the only reason we’ve had any chance all year. He showed against Colorado what happens if he lowers his playing to average. Top 5 goalie in the league easily, if he was on a half decent team.
  14. It seems to be the identity of the whole team. We just don’t have anybody to throw that big hit or fight and change momentum When we go flat or even answer When the other team does something to change momentum(besides maybe Schenn).
  15. I agree with you in this instance, just poor response I thought. I’m disappointed in this specific one, but I’m not ready to dog on Bo’s whole career for it.
  16. Watch that replay. He looked around about 3 times and then slowly skated at McNabb.
  17. Linden used to occasionally when he was younger. 18 in his nhl career to be exact. And that’s playing on teams that featured Odjick, Brashear, Walker and Hunter.
  18. Lol he was 8 ft away on the hit and OEL was 60 ft away and some here are bewildered at why others are are disappointed in his response.
  19. I think the Canucks should make Mcnabb answer to Burroughs... not that it’s that much of a threat.
  20. When your captain turns the other cheek, it kind of deflates the whole bench.
  21. Because for 10 seconds Bo was looking around for someone to do something before OEL did.
  22. That’s what a real captain does. Should send a message when a skilled Swede who never fights has to try to fight.
