Yes, they will have to change their name within about 10 years. How about the "Edmonton Windmills" !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roster, even when healthy, just isnt good enough under this GM. He has built the team the wrong way outside of drafting a good core. But other than Petterssen and Demko, which of those players were not considered consensus picks where they were taken? Boeser, no brainer. Hughes, no brainer. Podkolzin, no brainer. Add in the Juolevi and Virtanen misses and really its not godly drafting, its good drafting. It just looks godly because of Gillis and Nonis. We would miss nothing about Benning if he was fired. Even his drafting. Because when you are getting this many top picks because your team sucks, a GM should be expected to draft some good players out of that. Benning has done ok in later rounds but he has also squandered a lot of those players to get little in return that can help the team win. Whats the point of drafting well if you lose those guys that could be good supporting players for nothing? The Canucks cant rely only on drafting to turn the corner with this core. They need a GM that can surround that core in the next two years with the right players to open a competitive window. Based on his history, that guy is not Benning. your saying that Juolevi is a miss? Virtanen certainly but Joulevi? I guess that's your opinion IMHO it is time for a change and the team i'm seeing last few games is not a competitive nhl team. next year will be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wloutet Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 What would happen if we drafted Luke Hughes, to play defence with his brother. Then trade for Jack Hughes and have all three brothers here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he ends up not living up to his 5th overall but it he turns into a top 4 defensemen. Thats not a miss 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straw that broke the camels back for me was not being able to re-sign Tofoli. When we traded for Tof, I was on these boards saying stuff like “leave it to Jim, he has a plan. He’ll find a way to bring Tyler back for 2021.” Ever since then, I’ve taken a harder look at what Jim is bringing to the table and I’m not liking what I am seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
