CDC needs a box of Kleenex and fresh diapers on nights like this.  It's hopeless, fire management, trade all the players, burn it down...

 

"But we can handle a rebuild..."

:rolleyes:

No need to fire benning if he doesn't get a contract ;)

 

A rebuild is only good if you have the right vets surrounding your young players. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to dump players who are giving weak efforts night after night.

 

A rebuild does tend to involve trading vets after all.

Seems about right.

Looks like the honeymoon is over for Benning, although there are a lot of Benning loyalists on CDC.

 

When Benning was hired he announced two objectives -- to be a competitive (playoff?) team and develop young players.

 

The first has been an abysmal failure. Over the last 3 years (including this year) the Canucks have been maybe the worst team in the NHL overall -- certainly in the bottom 2 or 3. And that is despite spending to the cap and having Horvat in the system when Benning took over.

 

As for developing young players, obviously the Boeser pick was a big win. And there are some high potential players in the system (esp. Pettersson). But given the draft picks Benning had or could have had if he had traded for draft picks instead of trading them away, his performance in that area is no better than so-so.

 

 

Don't forget the safe working environment. Can't say that's ever come to fruition.
