  1. Funny, I think that’s exactly how Benning and Weisbrod are too. Linden, Brackett, etc seem to agree.
  2. But is he putting ketchup on them? That would at least make some sense.
  3. Or it could be has played with Hoglander or Garland who are actually the ones making their line noticeable.
  4. Only when the team wins usually. Which is why the only time you see him lately is on the side of a milk carton.
  5. I asked a former NHL head coach one time what he thought was the biggest difference between an average coach and a great coach. His answer was that great coaches build systems that maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of the players they have to fit into it. To me, that’s the biggest problem with the team right now. They are being coached to play a style that doesn’t do that.
  6. The one constant? Benning deciding who should be the coach.
  7. There are lots of good GM candidates out there. I think the team needs to hire Jim Rutherford as PoHO and interim GM. Let him do a comprehensive GM search. Fire Green, Baumgartner, King, and Gustafson or whatever that nobody’s name is and make Shaw interim coach. Hire a few experienced assistants. Let the new GM do a comprehensive coach search.
  8. But I thought adding expensive declining veterans was necessary for rebuilding teams so they don’t develop a losing culture? Isnt that what Benning supporters keep telling us? Beagle, LE, Roussel, Schiller, Sutter, Gudbranson, etc all say hi. Or maybe Benning was just wrong? Lol
  9. Anyone have the clips of Green and players like ep getting into exchanges on the bench lately?
  10. Thanks to pat for the productive negotiations. Vegas loves Krebs and giving him up was tough. Perry and Janmark are two quality depth pieces but with young players pushing for spots, we had to make a decision we didn’t necessarily want to make with them. Harrison we feel has a bright future as well. We wish them all luck with their new organization. You have to give to get and Vegas wants to compete this year. Debrincat is a young impact player that is a great addition to our core group. We are happy to be able to add him while also clearing a roster spot for a young player. We also added two good longer term prospects to our development pipeline.
  11. Once you realize EP is not at all suited to a dump and chase, no puck support offensive style, you might see things differently.
  12. He is absolutely myopic on how he views players. Green and Benning might be the only 2 people left in the world who think Tanner Pearson is a top 6 winger and PP option. He has had one decent offensive year in the last 3 not including this one so far which has been garbage too. And that season he had 3rd line production if you don’t include the 20% of his points that came with an empty net. I don’t care if Horvat wants to play with him (which I think is a BS story designed to cover for Green and Benning). If Horvat demands playing with Pearson, ship both out now it means they put themselves above what is clearly best for the team.
  13. Can’t believe we could have kept Tanev or Toffoli if we had dumped Pearson and/or Virtanen.
  14. The fact that he is still in our top 6 ahead of Garland, Hoglander, and/or Podkolzin is just mind boggling to me.
  15. Playing your ass off doing the wrong things still means you are not a great hockey player.
  16. Option D Hire Jim Rutherford as PoHO and interim GM, fire Benning, Weisbrod, Green and any assistants not named Shaw or Clark, put Shaw in as interim coach, hire a couple of experienced assistant coaches (maybe even a few former head coaches looking for an inside track back in), and do a comprehensive search for a long term GM who can then evaluate and hire his coach in the off-season. Give the players a clear signal they need to go back to earning their job and remove the favouritism and lack of objectivity from management and coaches regarding certain players. Its better than any option you presented IMO.
