hearditall Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 So now he was supposed to have 3 more rookies in the line up for a total of 6. How does that make things better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously man? Have you not been following the team for a while? What do you suggest Benning does with Gillis' scraps like Higgins and Burrows? Hamhuis has one year left on his deal, let him ride it out. Plus, who will replace him? Pedan full time? I don't think so. Prust? Not a big fan either, but the team is as soft as butter. It wasn't that bad of a trade either. You have every right to b1tch, but be realistic. This team has to rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 7 minutes ago, Alflives said: So you are saying that JB is publicly lying? He stated, not too long ago, that this current team is better than the 101 point team of last season. He's lying then, or he cannot evaluate talent, and we are doomed. It cannot be both. Which is it? He's a lying, or a piss poor judge of talent? I don't think he is either. On paper, this team (when healthy) is better than the team last season. They are faster, bigger, younger and tougher than last year. For whatever reasons (injuries, team chemistry, slumping players) they just can't seem to keep it together consistently. It's really too bad that Sutter went down, as I think that put too much pressure on Bo and then Jared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the aversion they have for using that word. So what. Everybody can see it. I think that Benning thought that he had made some incremental improvements. Sutter > Bonino Defense faster, more mobile better puck movers without Bieksa and with the addition of Bartkowski and Hutton Kassian was a disruptive element for the team and he was moved But he didn't account for other variables. Other players like Hamhuis, Higgins and Burrows are losing a step. Addition of and the promotion of younger players makes the team more vulnerable to the effects of injuries. Change isn't easy and it isn't for the faint of heart. I'm not disagreeing with your evaluation of the team. It stinks right now, which in the long run is better for our future - higher picks equals better players. I'm stating that JB lied, or he can't judge talent. You can call it not accounting for certain uncontrollable variables, but that's just rhetoric. He either is rebuilding and lying about the plan in order to keep the fans hopeful and sell tickets, or he misjudged the team's talent, which makes him a poor GM to rebuild, because he can't judge talent. Personally I think he's openly lying, because that's part of his job - to sell tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Aquaman stepped in the moment he got our vets some legit Tom Brady advice. Which is all good. TL and JB are the heart and soul of this organization. There's no way they aren't prepared for this. They've both been in the game long enough to understand our current situation and how properly deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If Aqua-Man starts dictating to management, I hope Trev quits because the day he lets Aqua-Man take over his job is the day that Linden becomes an emasculated poster boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Shaky. Is JB the right guy to rebuild the team, when he's saying we are better than last season, and clearly we're not? I've been trying to point out he's either lying in order to sell tickets, or he is a piss poor judge of talent? I believe he's lying. Either way, do we trust him with the rebuild? This is the guy who gave up two seconds and a third for Vey, Baer, and Dorset. Maybe he should just be a scout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
