Evil Benning: So convinced I am right I will refuse a pick and take the prospect I want instead!
Also Benning: I will lie to the world and claim that no draft picks were offered and that this prospect was the best I could get!
Also Benning: ???? Profit
How does it make sense in the whiners heads? He wasn’t able to get a pick for the rental guys we were offering. Other players are more likely to be traded at the draft instead.
Why is this so hard to comprehend? We have the UFAs we have largely because pretty much no one else wanted them. Otherwise they would have signed with a better team. Hard to get value from scraps.

“We should have signed X because the contract was affordable!” Think on it and realize that means some very good players will be going for next to nothing if we are patient.

Please welcome the newest member of the Vancouver defense....
Loui Eriksson
it’s just crazy enough to work

A modest proposal to rid us of Eriksson.

i do think it reasonable though
that you draw that commission
so long as not 1 dime is taken before the first entire million is accumulated (and readied to be used)
and of course you'd be required to pick up the bills from where ever as convenience will be necessary to ensure each member contributes

As dark as things may be, at least we aren’t Sens fans. I should know, I live in Ottawa.

As to why all our unsigned players went to Canadian teams, I suspect the Rona has something to do with it. If there is a Canadian division I suspect many would prefer to play in that right now.

Haha well I do like to call the people of Michigan Canada Junior. Not that they appreciate it.
Was more thinking of the draw of Calgary and Montreal. Everyone though Tofu would head to California. I mean I think there are reasons that he didn't and you have to think the pandemic played a role in that decision.

Come to the confessional and be absolved sinners! Be bathed and reborn in the light of Jake!

Doubling down. Bought against-the-glass tickets for tomorrow in the hopes my Canucks will redeem themselves before I have to return to Ontario.
-
For those complaining Boeser isn’t signed while also complaining Benning isn’t a good negotiator... patience. Time is on our side.
-
Free tix for tonight’s game in Ottawa? I bought some awesome tickets in the 100s off stub hub last week but now I am sick as a dog. Would rather they go to a fellow Canucks fan. If you are interested message me. Make sure you have a safe way to get there with the snowstorm and if the game is delayed I would still plan to go to the rematch. I will changer nothing but ask that, if you are gainfully employed and able, you consider making a donation to charity.

I fear that JB will build a contender only to be fired just before it takes flight due to the complaints of the impatient fan base. Watch for the next GM to claim all the glory and credit in fans eyes.

@112 He’s going to Detroit once they move Holland up. No chance that’s happening.
-
Benning's contract signed in 2018 takes him until the end of the 2020/21 season.
Since he's signed that contract he has struck gold with Pettersson and has acquired more gold in Hughes. This draft at home gives him a good chance to build more on that success.
Jim will not be leaving anytime soon.
-
To be clear I think Benning has done a great job over all. He has taken some risks with reclamation projects that were no actual risk to us, and some of them have panned out. Not worried about this year or next for him but often the GM behind a successful rebuild is not the one who reaps the glory later. Would like for that not to be the case this time.
-
I run a tourism business in Ontario and we just got lockdown extended until the end of time. Say something positive about this year for the Canucks to cheer me up CDC!
-
In before the Canucks stomp Vegas tonight and prove that embarrassing game was just a rocky night.
-
Just launched a crazy and fun Kickstarter through my work called the Save Halloween Project to create awesome online events if things go south this fall. If anyone is interested in knowing more about it or helping spread the word, let me know!

Mikey DiPietro with horrible leg injury. We just can’t catch a break.

Prediction: Hoglander will make the team and be stapled to the bench for the first couple of games, sending CDC and Vancouver media into a frothing berserk rage.
It will be the right thing to do and Green has done it before.
-
Premonition: Canucks we will do the opposite of what we all expect and win 5 of their next 7.
-
Previously know as Chucky's Head.
-
Promising team= players sign at reasonable terms. Bottom dwelling team= GM has to overpay to fill the roster. Maybe Benning was never such a terrible negotiator after all?
-
-
Seeing what people paid today make you appreciate the deals Benning made for Miller and Toffoli even more.
-
So can we officially say that the media was wrong, and tanking to rebuild has now been proven largely pointless? If the Flyers can pick 2nd, anything can happen. Play to win.

Virtanen should not be afraid of his opponents. His opponents should be afraid of the Virtanen. 2 goals in a big game!
