That sort of thing get's a coach cancelled and fired nowadays unfortunately. Unless Aresenau was in the lineup, I'm not sure who else they have who is willing to do that sort of thing. Gotta have some guys who like to muck it up, which is why I was so upset when we let Gadjovich and MacEwen go. Gotta keep the other teams honest

Please read my comments thoroughly, I stated already that his vitriol is not specific to this topic(search his history of name calling and degrading, it's remarkable) I think people should be kind, and that anyone sitting behind a keyboard calling people human trash, losers, not real men, cancers etc needs to take a look in the mirror. I will not respond to any further comments here unless it is to someone who isn't an angry, self righteous, bitter person. Thanks bishop have a good day

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Kovalchuk replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Kind of yeah, or we can wait too long and they'll trade for someone else and we don't get anything from them. I might be too used to watching Benning's trade deadlines in recent years, I'm a bit nervous right now -
Lol I haven't given any side to anyargument here, all I did was question why someone calls people cowards, losers, trash constantly and you claim I'm in a camp and a protester lol You've got some serious skeletons in your closet my friend.

You're right. Denmark is already Debunking those claims. Just another politician trying to fool twitter users with 140 characters or less Denmark steps in to thwart fake news about its Covid situation (msn.com) But the SSI scientists said this figure includes all deaths among people infected with the virus, rather than those which were caused by the virus. They said: 'Since Omicron became the dominant variant in Denmark a lot of people get infected. 'An increase in numbers of infected also makes it easier for a person to die a number of days after an infection without having anything to do with the Omicron infection.' The SSI said this means 'having an increase in number of infected persons will also have an increase in the number of persons' counted as Covid deaths. For exactly the same reason, the scientists also dismissed claims 'many people are hospitalised' because of Covid. Official figures show 300,000 people tested positive last week, but just 2,400 were admitted to hospital. And four in 10 coronavirus admissions are now primarily being treated for another cause, according to Government data. The SSI said the proportion of Covid patients who are hospitalised because they are unwell with the virus has been falling since July.

His name calling and vitriol is in all subjects I come across not just specific to this one. You also seem extremely angry and miserable. It's sunny out, go outside, go visit your parent. Relax. Breathe my son

I can't do that and that is irrelevant and has nothing to do with me being concerned about someone's vitriol and petty anger. Search up the word "coward" in Heffy's history. Every two days he calls someone different a gutless coward, from behind his keyboard of course

I'll give you 100 dollars If you go one week without calling someone a coward, piece of trash, idiot, etc. 100 dollars to me if you can't of course, might as well pay me now

[PGT] Toronto Maple Leafs at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 12, 2022

The states of Florida and North Carolina are hockey powerhouses....must be nice. Imagine the state of Florida being the home of Lord Stanley for 3 straight seasons. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Kovalchuk replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
#2 unquestionably Imagine holding, missing and picking 14th. Then imagine being in the same position next TDL day but with a less valuable asset. This is what being the definition of mediocre get's you. This team has too many holes and zero prospect depth, the time to move him is now. -
Again, why do you keep bringing up Gillis? Gillis could of done way better at the draft and some trading but what does he have to do with Benning overpaying a bunch of old untalented players and cap strapping us every season on the way to bottom place finishes? You want to talk about Gillis shortcutting in the draft? Ha...Ha..... Hold my beer says Jim Benning. Benning's middle name is shortcut and that is what he will always be remembered for. Gillis was too worried about contending for a cup to go out and scout like Jim supposedly was 3rd for Derek Dorsett 2nd for Linden Vey 3rd for Andrey Pedan 2nd for Sven Baertschi 5th (+ Zack Kassian) for Brandon Prust 2nd (+Bonino) for Brandon Sutter (+3rd) 6th (+Nicklas Jensen) for Emerson Etem 5th for Philip Larsen 2nd (+Jared McCann) for Erik Gudbranson 4th + Pedan(3rd) for Derrick Pouliot 7th for Marek Mazanec 1st + 3rd for JT Miller 2nd (+Tyler Madden) for Tyler Toffoli 3rd for Nate Schmidt (recovered) 4th for Madison Bowey (+5th) 3rd for Jason Dickinson 1st + 2nd + 7th for Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Conor Garland Signings like Gagner, Player Name, Roussel, Beagle, Schaller, Gudbranson there's literally too many to mention. They were all shortcuts that turned into negative assets. Like seriously did we really need Sam Gagner for 3 years at over 3 mil per? Like why?

I never even said he wasn't good at drafting. I said his job was to build a competitive NHL AND AHL team. He did neither, he actually did the opposite, both teams have been bad. So you're actually defending the Toffoli trade? We had him for 17 games then he walked and we didn't even send him any kind of offer when he wanted to be here then resigned duds instead. That was a fail. If two players you keep over another fall off a cliff, then that's on the GM, that's his decision and his problem. Virtanen was not a good player and had poor character, it was an awful signing. McCann and a 2nd for Gudbranson Forsling for Clendenning 2nd for Vey, 2nd for Baertschi 3rd for Pedan, 4th + Pedan for Pouliot Toffoli These are horrible, just horrible trades. Juolevi, Virtanen busts Gillis's job was to get us to the dance and he did that. This isn't a Benning vs Gillis thing anyways, this is a Benning was bad at his job thing. Do we really compare GM's by who drafts more good players? Benning picked top 5 consistently, Gillis picked bottom 5 consistently and 2010-2012 were pretty bad draft years, we're talking Yakupov and RNH first overalls bad. Benning's scouting has been okay but he's found no late round gems, he has 1st rounders and early 2nd rounder in his lineup. Where are the 6th round Mangiapanes? The 3rd round Adam Fox's? 4th round Bathersons. That's where a scout earns their money.

Markstrom, Tanev, Hamuhuis, Richardson, Mathias, Higgins, Edler were all left by Gillis and were all tradeable at one point. Hansen, Lack and Burrows were moved. Spending to the cap and missing the playoffs consistently, trading more picks than brought in, zero success and the AHL level(Our best AHL season under Benning was 14-15 when the team was still full of Gillis prospects/players) Benning was not even able to build an above average AHL squad let alone an NHL one. There's an extremely long list of bad trades and signings which is easy to dig up, Toffoli over Virtanen being one of them. Not even offering Tanev anything then bringing in Poolman/Dickinson? We've been a bottom 5 team the last 7 years, on par with Ottawa, Buffalo, etc so of course we should have some top flight talent to work with now and would have more if not for the wasted trades involving draft picks. We're still at the cap, still out of the playoffs and now need to recoup our wasted assets which got us nowhere. Our AHL team is still bad and all the top players are 26/27 year olds. Our NHL team is still bad and we need to trade our best player. The only players left behind for Alvin/Rutherford are players we traded or used 1st round draft picks on, he didn't even leave us with a full prospect cupboard and we're already shorthanded at this years draft with no 2nd round pick once again. Not sure how you can consider his term average when we're below average in every category. Standinds/results at both AHL and NHL level. Trades. Signings. Cap structure. Communication.

This should be what the draft history of a top tier cup contending team should look like, not a team that should be up and coming and continuing to build for the future. Our AHL system has next to nothing to be excited for outside of Rathbone, we have no CHL prospects, nothing at the WJHC. Benning should never be a GM of an NHL team ever again. He completely butchered this franchise whilst being given the keys to the city, unlimited cash to spend and 7+ years of time(which he still ended up running out of). We are now needing to move out some of our top pieces to recoup these lost young assets, ultimately we have wasted time and basically need to quickly start over unless Trader Rutherford works some extreme magic and we get lucky
