Pure961089 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Juolevi vs Rathbone. I hope it doesn’t turn into an ego duck measuring contest between Benning and Brackett. I know the organization is really pushing Juolevi, they see him replacing a lot of things Edler brings to the table like physicality. But he’s a Benning pick and him making the team would make Benning look good. If Rathbone a 4th rounder makes the team over Juolevi a 5th overall pick. It frankly makes Brackett look better at drafting than Benning (at least in this one instance). But I don’t care about your egos I just want the better defenceman to win the spot. Just pick the best player, put politics to the side and just let the better player play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I’d be happy with 10 goals in a shortened season with a couple highlight reels. Still gotta temper expectations and if he’s playing with Horvat he’s gotta learn on the fly to play responsible. So your saying I’m dead money???? .... I’m hoping for a 3rd straight Calder candadite .... who says we can’t have shiny new toys 3 years in a row lol 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same man that found you eagle and the twins and naslund too I’m pretty sure you don't really need to "find" the top draft prospects in hockey or players that have been playing on a line with mario lemieux.

If you honestly believe that this would decide who makes the team you have not a clue about how professional hockey works. Benning could give a rat's behind how an asset is acquired and the coach even less so. This artificial crap about egos and such driving personnel decisions is beyond ridiculous. The Canuck management and coaching staff are paid for on-ice results and not a hope they would sacrifice that to make themselves "look good". 1 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s human nature, don’t think politics doesn’t play in decisions like this. That would be a little naive. There are countless examples of hockey decisions based entirely on politics. It’s a sad reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
