What style of play do you see Benning taking the team in the future

[Ronalds.Kenins41]

What kind if team did Benning say he was building? No one remembers what he and the rest of the managements goals are . No one listens

Well among the people who replied to the thread there is no consensus either

I imagine a faster version of Boston. Two way centers, balanced D core, with speed, size, and skill else where.

Exactly. This is the team that CDC wants to think the GM should be doing.

Doing what we do now, just better with a whole team that buys in

What exactly are we doing right now. According to the first question in the poll CDC is pretty divided on what exactly we are doing.

I don't think those are the only 3 options. Based on Benning's drafting, acquisitions, history etc, I think he's building the Canucks to be an extremely fast, physical team, however much more uptempo than LA/Boston, more of a run and gun, crash and bang style as opposed to grinding it out and transitional play.

We'll see how successful it is, but should be a lot of fun to watch.

I'd just like to congratulate everyone! We've managed to have almost two pages of comments and this hasn't turned into another Kassian thread. On topic, would love to see hard playing, hard hitting every night. I think we need exciting hockey to get the fans back in the Rog.

Yeah I think horvat, Kenins and Kassian are starting to bring it back.

Meat and Potatoes.

Lot's of skill, (Virtanen, McCann, Horvat, Shinkaruk, Jensen, (2015 draft pick)

Lot's of speed, (Virtanen, McCann, Jensen, etc)

Lot's of size, (Virtanen, Horvat, Gaunce, Jensen, Kassian)

And this is why, Virtanen was a great pick for us. Mix of everything, especially size, skill, and speed.

Also, Jensen looks pretty good too. If nothing gets in the way, I wouldn't mind seeing a Virtanen-Horvat-Jensen line as a third line next year.

Virtanen might be a year away but it could happen I guess.

[Ben Kenobi]

Needs more Kassian.

[Ronalds.Kenins41]

Needs more Kassian.

We got enough of that here
