Granted, that’s not JB’s fault but it’s a lot of money to not be able to spend in the flat cap environment. One more year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s failed he’s a failure he needs to be fired ASAP we have one of the worst winning % in the league over the last 7 years.

You're going to upset all the "Homeys" with honesty like that, exposing the uselessness of our bottom 6 that Jim Benning was responsible for putting together (The worst in the league). Many Canucks fans would be more than happy with 7 more years of this $h1t because their heart rate goes up when you mention the word "Change" because that might disrupt their comfortable / predictable lives.

The most baffling thing about last off season for me was the “we ran outta time” comment when it came to signing Toffoli, Tanev and Markstrom. He had all season to work something out with them. I understand the Markstrom & Tanev decisions if what they signed for in Calgary was what they were seeking from VAN. Those deals will be prohibitive in the back end but letting Toffoli walk for that modest deal while re-signing RFA Virtanen and chasing an OEL trade with the cap as tight as it was made zero sense to me at the time (even now!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Did Benning really hint that he is going to re-sign Vesey? Making excuses for how hard it is to change teams mid season and talking about how good he thinks he can be? Honestly, is he watching the games? Fire this goof now if thats his assessment of Vesey. He has been absolute trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 The one thing I realized about Benning in all this is that off all the things we say about him the common thread is that he really doesn't do a good job taking control of a situation and navigating around the various circumstances. We all know Benning is good in drafting. But drafting is when the GM has the most control of the situation with the only factors you need to work around is your draft position (which isn't really a problem for Benning since the Canucks have mostly end up picking the 5 to 10 spots) and which player is available when it's your team. Other areas like managing the team, signing players, and trading requires you to navigate the situation with the players, the other team GM's, or the coaching staff. And this is, where I fear, Benning struggles at Another example is this Covid year. The stories you are hearing with DiPietro and how the Blues prevented DiPietro from playing games in Utica is very strange. And some could argue that the Canucks played poorly this season because of the schedule they had. But doesn't the GM have a say in the schedule? I know teams work with the league to come up with a schedule for the season. Why did other teams in the North Division get better schedules but the Canucks didn't? Or did the other GMs just did a better job working with the league when doing the schedule? So it's a thought but I just don't think Benning is good handling things when other external factors are in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
