Garbage offer. Yes, it's a garbage offer, but Botchtroll makes it sound like Benning really messed up. A Leafs 2nd and 4th, for example, would almost be an early 3rd and 5th - for a 6'5" R-shot D entering his prime. Garbage offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 2 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: It would be nice to get some actual opinions from hockey professionals on this. I think it was LeBrun who had a quote from "one GM from a playoff team" that said he'd do that deal in a heartbeat (sorry can't find the quote anymore, maybe someone else has it). I'd really like to know what the majority of GMs think of the move, but thats like work man, effort and all that. Here it is, Jimmy: .@PierreVLeBrun: The first reaction I got from a GM yesterday (on the Gudbranson contract numbers)...was that he would do that in a heartbeat. And that was a playoff team #canucks Notice that LeBrun/McKenzie/Dhaliwal don't really insert too much personal opinion into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlemonger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We traded a first round prospect and an early second pick to get Guddy. Why would we settle for a second and forth? Good job, Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Seeing as this fool is a Canucks writer, shouldn't he be writing articles to appease fans and support the team? We get enough negativity and disrespect from the rest of the league and other fans. Why couldn't he write about what a good job JB did by hanging on to Guddy and not being fleeced by Lou or any other crooked GM out there. He negotiated an excellent contract for Gudbranson. Knowing the importance of keeping a player with size and snarl on the back end, how he will be great once the prospects arrive. Botchtroll is so negative, I wish there was something we could do to have him removed from being involved with the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botchford sucks at his job and has been on such an anti Guddy and Benning agenda I don't doubt he made this up. As for that offer....I'd rather a tough D man who can protect the kids we're about to bring up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crotchburn is either an employee of the Province or a freelance writer who sell his dreck to the Province. He is under no obligation to appease fans or support the team. That being said, he should have any and all interview privileges revoked going forward, as he does anything and everything to undermine the team. He parrots the analytics "community's" approach to hockey completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know if the other 6 Canadian teams media have writers just like Crotchburn (I like that one), who bash the home team's players and management like he does.

One of the more recent examples I can think of is the Edmonton press ****ing all over Al Montoya because he doesn't do pre-game interviews.

Warhippy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just so we're clear. Read through the comments on that tweet, he was asked numerous times to provide a source and refused too, then when called out as fake news threatened to block people. So ya...grain of salt on this Botch please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that Toronto and Montreal have pretty horrible media personnel too. I think it's the way sports reporting has gone with the advent of Twitter, and the decline of writing skill and being unbiased and factual.

RWMc1 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's funny that a 2nd and a 4th was thrown out there. That's exactly what the snivellers wanted, so they could whine that we traded McCann for Candella. BotchFergie, Crotchford, Crotchturd; among others. A well earned reputation from one of the worst of our local clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He coaches High School in New West. Daliwall does a great job reporting Canuck NEWS, and doesn't have an axe to grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
