I am however, I believer in Benning I meant the rumours in general. I agree with you entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been quietly running a hockey academy for a decade, and I can pretty much guarantee you that he'll be behind a bench before long. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather hire him for the AHL for a year or so, but he's certainly an upgrade over Baumer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Someone explain why this season is only a write off for the Canucks. Just because we suck doesn’t mean the season doesn’t count lmao 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Jim's felt the heat. This hopefully cools things down but now he knows what that heat can feel like on full blast. Next time this happens he's likely out lol. No ownership saving his booty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious the two areas this team is struggling is D zone play and our power play. Those two things fall squarely on the shoulders of Brown and Baumer. Like how does Baumer keep allowing Myers to rush the puck like Hughes? Not every D man should have the green light to jump up. He’s gotta have a better handle on his defensemans strengths and weaknesses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full season of fans in the stands to recoup some money then he can spend big on a management overhaul. Benning will be able to add some more talent in another draft and then next season if he hasnt cleaned up some bad contracts then he can get the axe.

Cleaning up some of those bad contracts that he handed out will likely cost us picks (which logically reduces the effectiveness of the drafting, clearly the club’s strongest attribute). As to the thread topic...the ever ominous ‘higher ups vote of confidence’ which often is the kiss of death.

If Arizona can get a new GM, as well as Buffalo, the Canucks can EASILY get a competent GM to phone for a job. Neither of those people are NHL level GMs. Sure, FA could drag Shane out of the Roxy to be GM. That isn't the same as a REAL GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Well that is a death flag if I ever saw one. Sounds like any changes won't come mid season and this one is a write off (cause Aqua didn't give money for buyouts). I want to see JB gets promoted to President of Hockey Ops where he can concentrate on scouting and larger direction of the team and have someone who is a way better communicator and negotiator to navigate contract and trade talk. Mark Hunter or Futa sounds like good candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Also, he would never announce it beforehand. This is sort of a nonstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sounds like he got told no by Dean Lombardi for the 100th time about taking a job here and is doing some subsequent damage control to protect Benning and Weisbrod. I'd be very shocked to see Benning still around come the off-season. I'd have to question FA's ambitions to ice a good hockey team if Benning's still here by next season. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
