How stupid are you that you let both Hamhuis and Vrbata walk? Would you mind not trading our scoring prospects for trash? Why is this conversation not taking place on the way to the airport?

King Heffy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Our GM is an idiot. First he trades Shinkaruk for garbage, then he lets both Hamhuis and Vrbata walk. The guy's almost as bad as Gillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraken70 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 So far, I've been a supporter of JB but I must admit, he's got me scratching my head a bit. I hope he can offer logical explanations for his lack of activity today and not lame attempts to evade questions. Virtually every panel on every channel are trying to figure out why Benning held back on Hammer and Vrbata, especially, after admitting he doesn't expect to make the playoffs this year.

Fair enough if Hamhuis did not want to waive, but not a single deal to get Vrbata or any of the old guys out. Give me a break Guess they don't want to get any more draft picks in return. Business 101, try to get something that you will loose for nothing. Guess the brain trust of this organization have not figure it that out yet. Wait maybe management still thinks we can make the playoffs and be a cup contender this year lol. Benning might be the best scout in the world, but definitely have no idea how to run the team. Lets continue to stay in the middle of the pack(not sucking and not good enough). Great Day to be a Canucks Fan Go Canucks Go!

Cowgary Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 As mentioned in another thread, Benning probably didn't like the offers tabled for available players ( Hammer, Vrbata ) etc. I'm not defending him at all. Holding onto a UFA in a retooling/rebuilding stage is just downright stupid. Maybe the offers were beyond pathetic and JB told the other GMs where they can stick their offers.

Bo.Horvat53 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Answer: Calgary has a better GM than us and got returns on players that needed to be dealt. Hudler got a deal instead of Vrbata and Russel got one ahead of Hamhuis. Both clubs in similar situatuions. Granted Hudler had more value than Vrbata, but what about Hamhuis? He agreed to Dallas, I'm sure there was a deal that cold be made. In the end Treliving was more pro active and got the job done. 9 picks for them this draft. JB take notes...

Virtually every panel on every channel are trying to figure out why Benning held back on Hammer and Vrbata, especially, after admitting he doesn't expect to make the playoffs this year. The natural thing is to compare Van's progress with Calgary. IMHO the dif is that Calgary had younger assets to move. By the time Benning had to make that choice his vets were simply to old and their games run down to far. Because Hamhuis and Vrbata were not moved the Canuck rebuild will take much longer.

Kakanucks Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What "canuck fans" need is a life outside of CDC. Like maybe actually work/go to school/meet some friends/ leave your basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckin Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If Hammy is staying why not have him resigned before this drama? Some one dropped the ball and they will attempt to save face by putting it on Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
