[PGT] Los Angeles Kings at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 06, 2021
ABNucksfan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Thats a tough one. I don’t know. Id have to think about it. Toffoli cheaper than garland. Bigger and maybe more versatile. But older and not quite as gifted offensively… -

Really though? Did Benning not ever look into the future? This is what eventually sewered him. The win now playoffs now mentality, even in year 1. If management can’t look at a team and say “hmmm this team is looking good but not quite good enough… is there anything we can do now to make next year or the year after an even better team?” Granted the flat salary cap did handcuff alot of teams. But still it wasn’t going to go up enough to keep all the players we lost in free agency anyway. And clearly management never had Markstom in their future plans anyway. -

No we all didn’t know Toffoli was a rental. And the team could have absolutely kept him around if it wasn’t for handcuffing ourselves into silly bottom 6 contracts. Would you rather have Toffoli or Pearson+Lammikko? Either way all the fluff aside it was a stupid move by benning hence why I brought it up in the first place. Trading futures for rentals on a team that didn’t even have a chance of sniffing the Stanley cup champions jock straps. -

He said they weren’t rentals at the time… because the team wasn’t in a position to make a legit cup run… -

Hope so. It’s going to be easier to do in a positive atmosphere for sure. Still think the contract is a millstone around his neck. -

The nice thing about older defencmen is they get smarter and steady with age. OEL is also not old still in his prime. -

I’ve been saying Demko the future for years… even over Markstrom…who i liked… but many (most) were stuck on marky being the #1 and paying top dollar to keep him. Marky followed the cash and im glad he is no longer here. -

Petey was on the scoresheet with a nice assist… oh you mean goal. Goals aren’t everything. If the team is winning who cares who scores as long as everyone is chipping in and giving it their all. -

Benning also traded assets for rentals and let them walk at the end of the season for nil. Overpaid for bottom 6 players so much so that top 4 D and top 6 forwards and a world class goalie walked at the end of the season for nil. in 1-2 years we have guys on expiring contracts that are major core pieces that are either going to be traded or will walk in free agency because this team is at the cap ceiling. (The time for the team to start winning was yesterday) now we have our top players out of elc’s amd demanding more cash. That was a few off the top of my head Should I keep going? -

Likely with some changes to the team as well. So it will be the new GMs team IF that ever happens -

The coach was also a big part of the team he built. And unfortunately that part was a cancer. He wouldn’t let go. Time to move on. From my vantage point no one is talking about benning but you… Benning is that you? In 2 years Benning who? -

Didn’t you bring benning up? Just let him go. Hes not getting rehired. For what its worth. Winning is fun but this teams chances of winning the cup with this lineup is slim. Changes will still need to be made. -

Makes me wonder… seems more and more likely Green lost the room (maybe not intentional on the players behalf) Bruce’s first game and the team has it’s beet game in 2 seasons -

Bag skating is good to get young kids in shape. Not professional players. If they are not in shape when they show up for the season they ride pine. -
