yes.... true...But.... How long were the GM supposed to wait, before trying to compete? If Benning had said 2 years ago, that we would not compete until Luongo was off the books, how do you think fans would have reacted. The Luongo mess was not Bennings...... When GMs make signings they hope the sign kings work out... there is no guarantee they will. Some does, some don't...its the same for all teams. And changes will be made, as we don't have any cap space. Had Benning sacked Green earlier, they may have been in the playoffs, and a lot of the unhappiness would not have existed...

Thought it was JR saying that... but maybe the analysts as well... Agree though, its hard to improve a team if you have Cap problems, so you shouldn't really have cap problems unless you are ready to rumble... Obviously Benning thought this was possible, and with the right coach from the start, we just might have been in a playoff position.

Great analysis James. As always. think you may be a little hard on a few players. Mottes and Myers pk numbers looks none too good, but I think its fair to say that part of this, is down to them always being on the ice first during pk, thus always being out against the oppositions best players, where as OEL being on the second unit, would be against lesser opposition. Secondly its great to see EP doing so well, but my only fear is Petey getting and injury while PK'ing. The PK under Bruce is lightyears better than under Green. Do think that Green not using Petey or QH on the pk was due to him trying to manage their ice time. Regardless, the change of peesonal behind the bench has done wonders for the players and for the younger ones especially.

Sorry DownUnda... wasn't quoting you Podz will be a pk'er once he is fully integrated on the team... zero doubt about that.
-
Impressive.... Still remains to be seen, if he translate this to Vancouver, but this could be exactly, what the doctor ordered. Looks like another nice little Benning trade... Keep them coming.

Happy to hear it... don't won't you to get ill over a GM, who is long gone now

How did JR/PA do on TDL 2022? (10 being best, 1 being worst)
spook007 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
Exactly... Don't quite agree with the Uncle Jim and NTC's as nobody was worse than MG to do so.... But the rest is spot on. You don't deal good players for scrubs, unless they are about to run out of contract, and even then there can be a discussion of, how much you will allow another team to fleece you... We see in the off season, what direction they are planning, but I don't expect much until next years TDL/Offseason... There offers this season was obvious not earth shattering, so they stay put... -
Cmon Timrå.... give up the Benning hatred... its not good for your health my friend. Cheer up it's a sunny day, go for a walk and smile

Thank god Benning didn't bite....

or re-sign sign, if he finds his mojo again...

Yep... Lol at the Florida colour comments... and punches Weegar right in the face, that just dangerous... Where the f else was he going to punch him?

Thing is, unless you get value back, there is no point in trading out players... Zero doubt that Allvin would have done a deal if the return was worth it, but you can hold a gun to their head...unless you're Bettman and does it for a living. Motte may or may not have gone, as I'm more likely to believe, he would have resigned him, but I agree that while I'm one of Mottes biggest fans, he is a 4th liner, and the days of overpayment for 4th liner should be over... Our players are now old enough to hold their own, or at least should be. It will be an interesting summer, and I do expect things to be shaken up a little, but unless the team goes on a massive tear during next season, I definitely expect a massive shake up in 14-15 months time....
-
Now wouldn't that be something... Klim - Petey - Podz If Klim and Podz continues their progress, then in about 3 years, they could cause major havoc as a line with Petey... Drool

He gone in the summer, what the problem... We don't have a C ready to take a spot, on the main team... if we did, Petan wouldn't be in the line up. -

Got rid of a bit of cap and got a C until the end of the season and added a 4th... A bit meh... however, glad they didn't trade our 'better' players away for nothing. Obviously the offers for our players, if there was any interest, was not sufficient for management to bite... Glad they didn't say yes to scraps instead of good players... And happy we didn't start looking at rentals... So really nothing to get too excited about either way... let's see what happens in the off season instead. -
Nope... Its just the realisation, that this team probably won't get in done. I've been supporting the team through thick and thin ups until now, throughout the JB rebuild, but I get, what opportunity there is now, for trades that could solve the issues, we have had...
