Being a debby downer about everything is a real loser mentality. That's weird usually celebrating losing is a loser mentality but okeeee I don't think I'm a debbie downer, love the team, like the core group of young players and I like the coaching staff. Won't be upset if we draft 9th, excited as always for a new off-season. Just think this management group is busche league - even though Benning is a smart guy and very good at finding talent - and they've done a poor job managing this team. I also think the stats prove that out pretty well. We disagree, that's fine. Edited May 20, 2021 by awalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I couldn’t care less who’s in charge all I care about is winning and if they won’t make changes off ice then they sure as sh!t better make HUGE changes on the ice i mean go big game hunting, poach players during the expansion draft, being proactive - none of this “we’ll see what comes our way” BS go out and get it, move out money and for god sakes if you’re spend money spend it on top talent our free agent signings are the source of all our problems trades are meh - some good/some bad but none I would say are ugly drafting is good like most people would agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you apparently have failed to notice is the fact that there are 17 expiring contracts with 20Million in cap space. With Pettersson and Hughes to sign with their expiring RFA contracts. Sure maybe not all of those will be filled but you can't be short that many bodies going forward. But hey, nice try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA, as the owner, wants fans engaged. These fans are engaged big time. So much so they are spending their time and money to voice their opinions about the club. As soon as we go 8-1-1 in the first @0 next season these fans will fight for tickets, and merchandise. Well... anger > apathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s that honey coming along this year. You act like FA should feel bad about being the boss and doing things his way......like it's a character flaw or something. Don't most business owners run their businesses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Looking at the off season schedule, this is really not the best of times to do a complete change in management. We already have a compressed offseason as it is and throwing in the hammer that is the expansion draft make it even tighter. Bringing a completely new group may do way more harm than JB could ever do this off season with his hands tied. Gonna reserve my wrath until they make it clear that there will be no other additions other than the Sedins or Courtnall or if they sign another no name coach should Green be let go. Ok I will bring in the nuclear bomb if Bomer is retained. Edited May 20, 2021 by 24K PureCool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't most business owners run their businesses? Owning an NHL franchise isn’t like owning a normal business. It’s like your honey bee farm, do you make the decisions for the bees and tell them what to do? Or do you let them do what they do. FA job isn’t to steer and run the team. That’s what the GM and the president is for. FA is the Canucks bank account. And that’s all that he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones, they care more about protecting their brand than anything and the fans suffer. Must suck when your crosstown rivals are doing everything they can to win every trophy in sight and MU is, rather underwhelming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to let JB and company make decisions on their own. If the owner of the company I worked for controlled every aspect of our daily tasks, no one would work. That’s why we have “managers”. To manage the employees, hire new people, deal with budgeting and costs. The owner just sits on top of his pedestal and watches his business run by his trusted employees. If he sees something he doesn’t like he will deal with it accordingly. It’s not the owners job to deal with all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
