WeneedLumme Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The part I don't understand is how this blatant troll managed to get 93 upvotes. His posts are so ridiculous that I would think even his fellow trolls would be embarrassed to support him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you interpret as bad mouth stuff that JB said about Dahlen? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Benning was pretty disappointed in how things went, the last thing he would have wanted to do is trade Dahlen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember JB trading Dahlen (and other players like McCann) and saying that those players were good, but it was necessary to move them to improve the overall outlook of the team, as he sees it?

Sometimes people don't fit in an organization, but some people just need to view someone as the bad guy in a situation. Dahlen was just not a good fit for this organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning's comments in an article from Vancouver Courier on 27 Feb: “I find young players now, sometimes they don’t want to pay their dues in development time, they just want to be given an NHL opportunity right off the start,” he said. “We just felt that there was some development left in his game before he’s ready to be given an NHL opportunity and we felt he wasn’t there yet and I guess that’s kind of where the discrepancy on what they thought and what we thought where he was happened.” Sounds like JB felt Dahlen had a sense of entitlement.

That doesn't sound so bad. JB felt Dahlen needed more AHL time, so he traded him for a younger player, who might develop a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the whole article (sorry I didn't post in it's entirety) the reporters are saying that JB is just speculating. I don't really know, and I guess we'll never really know the full detail of what went down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It sounds like: Pettersson joined the Canucks and never looked back. Dahlen, his team mate and best friend growing up, felt he deserved the same treatment as Elias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't so bad but as GM he needs to be more diplomatic and say something the fans can't take and run hate with it. Dahlen got a lot of hatred because fans looked at him as a diva or someone who didn't want to go through AHL. If Benning had been more careful with his words it had stayed with only speculation from the fans. Not as bad as it turned out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Anyone know how I can find out what skate sharpening radius Petey uses? I've searched all over online and can't find anything... Really curious and would love to test out w.e he's using Penguins released their full rosters skate sharpen radius for 2016... Not sure why the Canucks don't release these... So much for fan engagement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Calder Trophy WINNER!! What a nice, genuine speech. He had respect for Binnington and Dahlin. Also heartfelt shout out to Botchford (RIP) Aquilini was there 5 down from him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All class at such a young age. I was thinking the exact same thing. So classy of him to have acknowledged Dahlin and Binnington first thing. And including Botchford. His attitude reminds me so much of Henrik and Daniel. A toast to Elias Pettersson and his future with the Canucks.
