Draft edition: Benning vs the World

Draft edition: Benning vs the World
NewbieCanuckFan replied to knucklehead91's topic in Canucks Talk
I remain skeptical. Particularly when he’s been in charge of our scouting in Western Canada since forever and so many prospects slipped thru our own backyard. Benning has a proven history in amateur scouting going back to his Sabres days. If Benning didn’t want him (EP), there’s no way Delorme would’ve convinced him to take him. Again, just my speculation. -

I tend to take giving Delorme any kind of credit for amateur scouting with a grain of salt. With such a high pick, Benning should get the bulk of the credit for picking EP. He was just trying to spread the credit around (as many good leaders often do). -

Gino didn’t need to follow Bure to Florida. I forgot who the player cheapshot Bure, but while Gino was on the Habs & Bure was on the Panthers. He essentially replied: “I took the guys number. We play that team a lot during the season. He better keep his head up”. That’s a lifetime friend. -

Myers who is 31 years old, is what he is at this point. -

There are clearly NHL caliber D on the Canucks blueline. The question is, do we have enough of them. Depth is deep but in the lower end of the depth chart. -

He's only doing what the player he represents wants him to do. Benning needs a Luca Brasi he get a contract signed. -

That guy was a 13th overall pick. I should have added, Poolman's age is a plus in his favor. A mature *person* is probably has a better chance at being able to adjust. Look at Jake Virtanen as an example. Jake needs to grow up some more. -

Well chemistry is a weird thing. Look no further than when we had a pile of injuries and the then head coach (Willie) decided to give increased minutes to the pairing of fairly green players Stecher & Hutton over established NHL vets like Gudbranson. Maybe the same will happen here (Hughes & Poolman). -

That’s a different league/style of play. What works there doesn’t always translate in the NHL. Loui Eriksson looked good with the Sedins in international hockey. But sure, try it out in preseason where the games don’t count. -

Poolman has but 120 NHL games experience. I’m not sure putting him with Hughes would be the right way to go (Hughes has more NHL experience at this point and he’s just a kid) -
