That post is hilarious. Even though you aren't a big JV fan I'm assuming you still want to see him do well right? That's the only point I was trying to make when they started calling me fresh to the board haha.
-
Definitely not new I just don't post often, for as many people that put him down on these pages there's someone willing to pump his tires. It's not 900 pages of dumping on him.
-
I completely agree we haven't seen him at his best, but him being bad and out of shape was on him so of course some fans will be unhappy with that. I'm excited to see what he does at camp but I'm not writing anything in stone until we see it. Ive been critical of him, not much on the message boards but more so in real life, but that doesn't mean I want him to be a dud. I hope he turns into a physical top 6 forward like he absolutely has the ability to do.
-
Well we have differing opinions on that then. I don't know what fan doesn't want to see their team and players succeed. If he turns it around we will see how the public opinion is, if not it'll be more of the same haha. I'm by no means saying you're wrong either, no one has all the answers, just my opinion on it.
-
You don't think they'd rather be saying how good he's been? Of course they would. Until he really gives anyone reason to people can't be upset with what is said
-
I don't think any Canuck fan likes hating on him, ideally we would all be singing his praises but he hasn't given anyone a realistic reason to do that. It's fine if people are optimistic but they can't get angry when people put him down for how little he's done. Hopefully he's full of confidence and in great shape at camp and shows why Benning and some others think so highly of him.

Assuming we get CBJs 2nd this year I wouldn't mind using that pick on him if he was still on the board. There's other guys id prefer but if they took a goalie id prefer he be the guy -

Any I'd be happy with Samberg but I really want Rasanen with our 3rd in my dream world -

I'd be stoked if they got Oettinger -

I agree with that too. Every fan base is generally biased, it's not easy for the vast majority to put their love for their team aside when judging, I totally get it. You're absolutely right. -

They definitely didn't get any love when we were cup contenders by the national media who usually loves Canadian teams, I totally agree. I don't feel the national media gets on them since they've been so irrelevant the last couple years but local media sure does. A lot seems to go against the franchise constantly, who knows why. But I don't think the criticisms against JB have been unjust. He really turned it around at this years deadline though which could definitely start to change the way he's perceived. -

They give as fair a judgement as biased Canuck fans, and I'm not saying that you or anyone else in particular is a biased Canuck fan. It's all opinion until you see it play out -

He had a great deadline and got praise for it, absolutely. But leading up to that he has gotten a ton of hate, there's no way you're unaware of this. -

Absolutely. I don't dislike JB at all. I want nothing more than for him to win multiple cups in Van -

Anyone in particular you looking forward to seeing? No hostility following that debate haha -

Haha we will see. He's acting like I completely threw JB under the bus, I just pointed out that he isn't perfect. He must have done massive assuming and didn't take any of my points, which is fine, to each their own. -

You are comical. I didn't say he's made good moves? It is too early to grade most his picks. That's just common sense but saying he's made all the right decisions is funny. You're clearly grading them all as wins. I like a lot of his picks and dislike others. You're just looking for people to agree with your opinion and get upset when it doesn't happen. You pick parts of what I've said and not the statements as a whole, you're no good at this debating stuff. I'm a Canuck fan first and foremost so it's not like I'm rooting against them. You're pretty goofy right now. He has absolutely made some great moves but if you don't think he's made questionable ones then you're crazy. Back to this upcoming draft now... -

You said "whomever" he picks will be the guy, you're wrong. It's too early on his drafts to really see where he was wrong or right. Aside from that obvious blunder near the top of a round. He's made solid picks later in drafts, or so it seems so far but you assuming he's an amazing talent evaluator isn't correct. We lost a 2nd for Vey, a 2nd for Clendening and those weren't solid moves. Baer and Granlund clearly were worth the deals. I was just saying he's not what you were implying he was. There's a reason he's laughed at among most the league and fans outside this organization. And then there's the sheep, like yourself, who will love everything he does regardless. You're making this debate more then it really is. -

Of course every GM does. I was giving a counter argument to someone saying whoever JB picks will be the guy because he's a scout. -

I'm not obsessing over anything, I'm saying your total faith in Benning is comical when it's undeserved. I'm still not mad we didn't draft the guy I wanted, I still think Virtanen can be a very useful NHL player so I'm not calling it a bust. I just don't have complete faith in JB. Who says I'm living in the past? I was giving an example, I can't pull examples from the future lol. -

ashlynnbrookefan replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Your blind faith in Benning is absurd. He's done well with some picks and dropped the ball on others. Anyone that wouldn't take Ehlers or Nylander over Virtanen just isn't smart, that doesn't mean he can't develop into a useful player but the other 2 are the kinds of players this organization needs. Thomas Gradin was banging the table for Nylander and Benning still went another direction, assuming he has a crystal ball infront of him is a flawed theory. -

He went back to junior after his draft year but I couldn't agree more with everything else. -

ashlynnbrookefan replied to hyper00's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
He is just as much to blame about his development than the organization is, showing up out of shape and partying too much wasn't the organizations fault. He was the goat for the Canadian world junior team and that was on his inability to play disciplined, not the organization. I hope he gets it figured out but he still needs to find another 2 or 3 gears offensively to be worth the pick. If he is a bottom 6 physical grinder than we didn't completely blow the pick but he would end up being a massive reach. I don't like how the onus is completely put on the way he was used in NHL, he was 18 not 8. He should have came to camp in the best shape of his life physically and mentally after being drafted and that wasn't the case so it's on him IMO. -

Damn near everyone on this board talks like they should head a scouting department for a major franchise. I know everyone has their opinion on who we should take but when there is no obvious choice where we are picking then to get outraged over JB passing on someone is ridiculous. Have I loved all of his picks? Absolutely not but I'm not gonna lose my mind on draft day, that comes with hindsight. Mittlestadt, Villardi and Glass top my list but if we go for Makar or another player viewed as more of a boom or bust type I won't be rioting in the streets or killing JB on this board. -

I think that's where Petterson goes too. I'm not so sure I think Tippett is better than the available centres or D men that will be there when we pick but really who knows. We'll find out in a few years haha.
