He's not in the NHL anymore and it's not Benning's fault. It's clearly there. Dahlen, mentally, wasn't fit for the NHL. The evidence is that he's not in the NHL. It's a very simple concept to grasp! But like I said, you're not going to think that and there's no point in discussing this further with you. You strike me as someone who doesn't like evidence that goes against your favourite players. Just an honest assessment. Edited February 8, 2021 by The Lock 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, irony isn't anywhere close. By the way, Dahlen has probably had to many conussions already so he should stay a2ay from NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) You are arguing things that people have not said. Thus your "learn to read" is ironic. Then when you talk about Benning and his faults, other posters use Dahlen as evidence of Jim not being at fault, you reply you are talking about Benning. But so were they, thus even more irony about learn to read. Edited February 8, 2021 by gurn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only how Benning handle the situation. So why bring up Dahlen and that he play in Sweden now? That is a different discussion. If you read my posts you probably noticed, if you're not trolling of course, I don't think Dahlen should play in NA. In that discussion regarding Benning we agree. So why argue that bit?

Did he drop to 7th where Benning was a sucker to pick him. I say yes. If Benning had not taken him he would have drop to 8th and who knows where he would have landed If Hughes creates 10 goals but causes 20 does the math add up. Did Tanev protect the Canucks from Hughes mistake. I say yes. Tanev is that responsible with and without the puck. Can a small Defenseman play defense few and far between. Is Hughes one of them? I say NO. Can Benning acquire a new Tanev. I say hell no. Benning can not make a trade for the life of this team never mind find a new Tanev. Hamonic is no Tanev Which leads to the real question can we afford to keep Hughes as a defensive liability and at the ridiculous cost he can command. I say NO. Sell now well his price is high or feel the Wrath of his future contract for years to come. Disclaimer I recommend you read to the the first post of the 5th page before commenting this thread was to make a point or not it is up to you I do like to play Devil's advocate on this board sometimes. But I do think this is just too far a reach. But I appreciate the controversial topic. Too many ninnies on here afraid to dig too deep, or even consider bold moves like this. I did a bit of research, on NHL.com to see just how other young highly touted rookies are doing. I was going to get a few examples of how other young stars, that are geared more for offence, are also in the minuses. I stopped looking after 10 minutes, as I couldn 't find any. They were all in the plus. So you have a point there. Now how much of that is just a bad defensive system by the coaches? How much is a lack of talent to compliment Hughes? (Although I do agree with you that if Hughes was a truly elite D, he would not need a clean up partner all the time). On the other side, how much is that about his size? Can't be all about size, as Stecher had one of the best plus minus on the team last year. I believe that Hughes can get better defensively, as Stecher also improved as well. How much is trying to do too much offensively, because of the pressure to get some wins? He will mature and know how to pace himself as he gets more experience. So on balance, I do not support trying to trade Hughes. If only that the Canucks have been so woeful in amateur age drafting for decades, that when we land a star, we gotta see just what we have, ie..a few years at least. Lets see him play out his ELC first at least. But its funny seeing the fire and brimstone come down on you for simply suggesting a radically bold idea to contemplate. Too rich for my blood, but as with every trade idea, it depends what you get in return. It would have to be an absolute slam dunk. But why now? In any trade deal, it is usually the case every time, that the amount of players going one way is not how its decided who won the trade, its who got the singular best player. One "game changer" is worth.....I don't think any amount of even serviceable scrubs would equal that, simply because there are only so many roster spots. We must keep Hughes. What we really need is a time machine to go back and stop JB from inking all those terrible contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
