Jim Benning's mid-season press conference
CanadianRugby replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
That year Boeser needs to get resigned. And the year after 2022 Miller and Horvat need to get resigned. We have a one year window of cap flexibility. We should have it now, but we have the most useless expensive 4th liners and taxi squad around. And Benning blames the flst cap and covid, as if it only exists for Vancouver. 7 years of ineptitude. -
Jim Benning's mid-season press conference

What the hell you talking about!?!? Linden wanted the long term rebuild and got fired for it. Benning's been taking short cuts from the start. Age gap experiment. Trading picks away to go for the playoffs every year. Give me a break. -

As long as he's a lapdog for Aquaman he'll stay on. -

I think Roussel, Beagle, Myers, Gudbranson, Vey, Sutter, Eriksson, not trading for draft picks when "rebuilding", starting the "rebuild" years too late, losing upcoming free agents for nothing, not finding a winger for Horvat for years and having a trash defense every year will cost Benning his job, not the coach.

Yeah I always had it on in the background and post game. 650 is boring and that Bruins fan Walker says dumb things just to be controversial.

Yes, the "bad contracts" will be replaced by "good contracts." All that means is that the money paid to our bottom 6 and dead cap, will instead be paid to our stars. My point is that it won't leave much money for depth. The advantageous period of entry level deals for our best players is over. Managing the cap can be done, teams do it. Perhaps Benning can do that. I haven't seen him show any ability to manage the cap. Good players left because of our bad contracts and our two biggest stars aren't even getting paid yet. I guess time will tell. Here's goals allowed the last 4 seasons combined. One of these teams can play defense, and these stats are from a couple of seasons of prime Markstrom. The Canucks could make big moves and turn into the Avalanche sure.. But it's a wild take, that the Canucks are more like the Avs than the Oilers right now.

How much of that money is getting used to resign Hughes & Pettersson? Not much money left over to replace the players that are leaving. And those players need to be better than the ones leaving for this team to improve.

Yeah because we haven't paid our stars yet.
