Calgary pausing constructing of new arena
kanucks25 replied to BCNeil's topic in General Hockey Discussion
In construction industry, can confirm costs and timelines are out of whack in a lot of areas due to current climate. Not surprised a project as massive as this has hit a hurdle. -

After tax salary... CDC continues to find new ways to amaze me -
Seven years without a clear plan from Canucks brass.

When you add in Pastrnak over McCann which you've conveniently left out, is it that far off? Another option is to compare our group of players vs a BPA list, like Button's or THN or whatever. You'll see that the aggregate quality is pretty comparable. -

Make a list of our 1st round picks. Then make a list of each draft pick taken immediately after our 1st round picks. The lists are relatively equal. Which is where the hesitency to give Benning credit comes from. You draft that high that often, you're bound to draft good players. -

There was no choice but for the core to be rebuilt; lots of time has passed, most of the players Benning inherited have retired. Unless the Canucks decided they would fold the franchise instead of finding players to replace the old core, rebuilding the team was pretty much automatic. -

"The team has been rebuilt," Must be the most ridiculously lousy low-effort Benning accolade I've ever heard. Literally trying to give the man credit for time simply passing. -

Have they? Pretty much only TOR recently and that was a few years ago now. The rest are doing some sort of weird Frankenstein half compete half develop plan that has led them all to spin their wheels for years. Not exactly what we want to compare ourselves to (although this year it seems Canucks fans are content to compare themselves to Buffalo, so who knows). Has he? What are the contributions to show for it? One season of Gaudette as a good depth forward + one season of Tryamkin as a depth D-man? Forsling was a good pick for the 5th round - 151 games and counting... unfortunately zero for the Canucks. -

So you just picked a random amount of Canadian teams? What exactly was the procedure there? "Without ever having a single pick under 5th overall" sounds tough but then you consider 5 picks between 5 and 10 lol. -

Are we? 7 players above 100 games over 7 drafts (albeit it's early for the last two especially). One of those players just got booted out of town, another got all those games in other jerseys, another got majority in other jerseys. -

Here is what the Kings did in their rebuilding years in the late 00's, starting from when Lombardi took over in the summer of '06 over just about 2 years to the summer of '08: In: 1st 1st 1st 1st 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 3rd 3rd 4th 4th 4th 4th 4th 4th 4th 5th 5th 5th 5th 6th 6th 7th 7th 7th Out: 1st 1st 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 4th 4th 4th 4th 4th 6th 6th 7th 7th Condensed after all the in/out washes: In: 1st 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 4th 4th 5th 5th 5th 5th 7th For the people who always claim that Benning was left a wasteland with little tradeable assets, here's the list of players Lombardi traded away to acquire most of the above picks: - Demitra - Munce - Conroy - Avery - Sopel - Jason Ward - Evgeny Fedorov - Modry - Brad Stuart - Aubin - T.J. Fast - Cammalleri So not exactly the 80's Oilers compared to what Benning inherited. -

Our numbers a bit off, I went here: http://www.nhltradetracker.com/user/trade_list_by_team/Vancouver_Canucks/2 (doesn't show the trades from yesterday, you have to add those manually) -

Overall in/out list of draft picks: In: 1st 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 5th 5th 6th 6th 7th 7th 7th 7th Out: 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd 3rd 4th 4th 4th 5th 5th 6th 6th 7th 7th Condensed after all the in/out washes: In: 7th 7th Out: 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 4th 4th 4th During what should have been (turned out to be anyway) a complete rebuild. What a joke. -

Yzerman over the past few days has traded for about as much draft capital as Benning has in his entire tenure here. "Pathetic" doesn't do it justice. -

What we should have done: -
Some GM's are just better than others, especially when it comes to trades. Some GM's have excuses and others just get stuff done. Look at Yzerman's last 3 trades combined: In: Vrana 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd Panik (cap dump) Staal (cap dump) Gagner (cap dump) Out: Mantha Athanasiou (UFA, wasn't going to be re-signed)
