I think it's time for Benning to go tbh. Give Brackett the GM job.

QuoteLE is overpaid, as stated - but I would prefer him to Ladd, Lucic, Okposo from that FA class in all honesty.
Benning tried to get Lucic though and LE was his 2nd pick. Sorry but I've seen this mention countless times in the paper, on tv/radio and here as a defense to the LE signing and it makes me want to
. Honestly if he had a couple more million in capspace we could've ended up with both those anchors, imagine that.
If people want to support JB, that's fine. But don't go slamming the people that don't have any faith in him because he's done a lot to alienate that faith. Also don't go saying he's building a dynasty, the Han dynasty was done quicker than this.

Different times, different measuring sticks. Literally.
If you're saying that Benning's achievements should not be compared to a dynasty, simply because a historical figure, let's say Hitler, rebuilt Germany faster and more powerful than this Canucks team, that is ridiculous.
Also, things get done easier with violence - usually silencing critics. Just saying. Non violent approaches generally speaking don't work as fast. (Obvious there are some exceptions).
To be fair, you can't build a dynasty unless you are winners year after year. Edmonton had a dynasty, for example.

@Tre Mac No one here is slamming anybody. I wasn't defending the LE signing, not sure anyone could really, he is grossly overpaid. Given that FA class he probably turned out the best, save maybe Okposo. I don't think it is fair to say he would have signed both Lucic and Eriksson if he could have. There is an awful lot of assumption there.
JB has made mistakes, same as any other GM, but none of colossal consequences.
