Why we are never in the conversation for big name trades in the Benning era?

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

I'm sure Benning will bring in a Dman or two, but who?  Jones? Parayko?  Cernak?  Nahh...  Benning has a tendency to trade for non-star players who are on the decline or about to. That's why VAN has Roussel, Beagle, Holtby, Eriksson, Ferland, etc.  Miller and Hamonic might be exceptions.

 

So, if you want to know who Jim will be bringing in, just take a look at the league D stats and see who's had their best years already. That's our guy. :picard:

how dare Gillis's team finish top 8 in the league every year how dare he only have late 1st round pick every year that most teams in the league would whiff on. how dare he doesn't have any top 6 picks every year to fill the prospect pool. news flash most team that's been sitting near the top of the league standing have pretty bare prospect pools. so what did benning do? whiffs on his 2 top 6 picks traded away mccann for a pylon that he felt the need to re-sign right away. then started tossing away draft picks and prospect and gotten no return out of it.. it's actually pretty pathetic how little top end or or above average prospect we have during benning's tenure so far that's even still with the team considering we have like the 3rd or 5th worse record in the league since benning took over. woo lind rathbone lockwood gadjovich etc are nothing really to get excited about. outside of the 1st round what does benning have to show for? demko and Hoglander.. batting only 60% on top 10 picks not including podz which is tbd. but probably in your eyes all our prospect are gonna be nhl impact player or something. our prospect pool is loaded etc etc etc.

This honestly sounds like one big run on whine.  Can you further elaborate on "tossing away draft picks?" because that seems exaggerated.  Picks in the second to 7th round aren't really too much to get worried about unless you hit a winner, which is tough to do.  So I'd like you to list the picks that were thrown away that concern you.

 

Most "prospects" aren't anything to get too excited about out of the gates....the cream of the crop are in the top tier of the draft and go quickly.   We've had some nice surprises at later picks and I don't think you understand that this is more of a crapshoot than a matter of going and picking out shining stars from the shining star aisle at the draft.  If you don't get a top pick it's anyone's guess for all draft picks.  The jump to the NHL can weed out players with potential who just don't make the jump as seamlessly as some may expect.  It's a roll of the dice.

 

Just because a pick is traded, doesn't it mean an impact player was....it's an unknown.  Draft picks have come to represent "gold" to some but they're more of a lottery ticket.  You may or may not win something.

 

Yes, good teams build through the draft but some teams have been terrible and get a lot of high picks.  I don't know that our fanbase can suffer through us being that terrible for long durations...they'd cry.

 

I think you totally overlook the fact that prospects don't always slide in with impact...they can take time to develop (properly).  And some never do. 

 

Yet a guy like Brock is a gem that we got at 23(?).  A lot of teams overlooked him but...

 

I'm not crying over McCann as a huge "impact player".  I feel like some stay stuck on things that prove their point but completely ignore other things that don't support the narrative they're sold on.

Every name that you listed there, with the exception of Miller, was a free agent signing. And Miller has been our best player since he got here.

Thing is, they're hard to come by.  Teams aren't giving up top D men and it can be slim pickings unless you pay a king's ransom in bidding wars when they do become available.  Can get burned that way and I'm happy to see them tread carefully.  There's a balance to be struck that's really difficult to achieve.

Hey be thankful we aren’t the Loser Leafs and their terrible contracts.  Look at how horrid their 11 million dollar contacts are looking!  Couldn’t even give those guys away.

Thats why i think we should load up with D in this draft. Especially RHD use our first 3 picks even for it(maybe lol 2 for sure). Next year is turning out to be a strong draft where even if we make playoffs there might be a boeser type guy in the later part of the first.

I think at this point in the rebuild, its good to avoid the big names. And when it comes to prospects and assets, I feel like its the opposite, we have quite a few prospects who have been doing very well in their respective leagues. Maybe the reason why it looks like we dont have many prospects is because the ones we are drafting are making the team and making an impact so they go from draft picks/prospects to NHLers overnight. 
If we were to go after the big names now, its going to cost us a roster player, prospect and a pick or more. Thats a lot to move out only to get 1 player in return. We should be going after the big guys when we are competing/heading into playoffs. Let the team play it out for a bit and then identify the guy we need. We dont need to just go after a guy everytime because he is available, we need the right fit. Someone who will do well in our systems and work well off their dpartner/linemates

 

Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, Demko, Hughes, Hoglander, Rathbone, Podkolzin, Juolevi are all guys that are/were prospects that are about to or instantly became NHLers. I would also even mention Virtanen and McCann, both are in the NHL, for now…. Virtanen’s career/future is in question

 

We have guys like DiPietro, Karlsson, McDonough, Kunz, Lockwood, Lind, Gadjovich, Woo, Focht, Malone who are all doing pretty decently where they are right now.

 

JB’s drafting has produced 1801 NHL games in 7 years…..thats almost more than Gillis’s drafting and Gillis’s drafting had a 6 year head start on playing in the NHL.

Gillis’ drafting has produced 1969 NHL games. Next season, Benning will surpass that in less than 20 games. 

 

I dont think the future for Vancouver could be any brighter. As long as we can continue to draft and produce NHL players through our own organization, we will be a very good team for a very long time. All we have to do is land a few guys here and there at the through trade and or free agency and we will be a contending team for many years

 

Look at Tampa, the large majority of their team was allllll drafted by Tampa, they developed in the system and they took a handful of years to get where they are now. 
 

Vancouver is drafting, developing and icing a team that is largely becoming more and more of Vancouvers own draft picks and they are making an impact. 
 

Be patient my friend. The good times are right around the corner

Lemme know when we draft a Kucherov or a Hedman.

GEE THANKS GILLIS FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB OF DRAFTING, BENNING SUUUUURE CAN USE THOSE PROSPECTS TO HIS ADVANTAGE. AND THANKS FOR ALL THE NMC'S WE ARE SO GLAD THESE GUYS DONT EVER WANT TO LEAVE AND HAVE THE CHOICE OF EXACTLY WHERE THEY WANT TO GO!!! YAYYYYY

 

 

LOOOOOOOOOOL PSYCHE!!!

 

How do you assemble a f***ing cup winning team without any actual assets to move to get great value in return? Jim Benning went bargain shopping he searched for the best value he could get with the pile of wet dogsh*t that Gillis left behind.

 

Tell me HOW.....HOW is a GM with zero prospects, a bunch of deadweight, declining and completely aged core, supposed to get excellent value in any trade or signing?

 

i'll do it again, this time for you

owners want revenue

revenue = playoffs

playoffs = 2014-15

2014-15 = hope

hope = held onto

held onto = too long

too long = sedins retired

sedins retired = rebuild

rebuild = cant hide

cant hide = ownership must accept

ownership must accept = support

support = Benning in charge

Benning in charge = shot caller

shot caller = sees the plan

sees the plan = noticed good young core

good young core = add a guy

add a guy = JT Miller

JT Miller = playoff hopes once again

Playoff hopes = add more

add more = Toffoli

Toffoli = playoffs

playoffs = happy fans

happy fans = yay

yay = revenue

revenue = happy owners

Happy owners = more support

more support = buyouts

buyouts = bye bye LE

bye bye LE = Yay

Yay = playoff revenue

playoff revenue = playoffs

playoffs = happy fans and happy owner

happy fans and happy owner = yay again

 

 

happy now?

 

 

Oh... as for the Sedins being "done" in 2012... did you mean this 2012?

Im really confused as to which 2012 it was that they were done.... I coulda sworn it was 2018 they retired??

There's the year you are talking about!! The one with all of Mike Gillis's great draft pick!!!!...... Get it... Draft pick, not picks, because Gillis couldnt draft to save his life.

 

Jeez they only finished 2nd and 3rd in team scoring?? Maybe it was actually this 2012 year? Not the 2012 year they won the Presidents Trophy like in 2011-12 but this 2012 season

Those Tables are there entire season 5v5 and 5v4 included into their corsi and fenwick

Heres just the 5v5

 

CF% rel -- Relative Corsi For % at Even Strength
CF% - CFoff%
On-Ice Corsi For % - Off-Ice Corsi For %

 

FF% -- Fenwick For % in All Situations
FF / (FF + FA)
Above 50% means the team was controlling the
puck more often than not with this player on the
ice in this situation.

 

So above 50% Corsi and Fenwick = team possessed the puck more than the opponent when player 'X'

positive CF% rel = Canucks controlled the puck more when player 'X' is on the ice.

1 The Sedin's lacked a decent supporting cast as their careers went on. They had a decent supporting cast in 2014-15 and they had very a successful season, the team was top 10 in the league (8th) and made the post season.

 

2. Even as their careers came winding down to an end they were still the top 2 relied upon guys, meaning..... Gillis's failed drafting let them down later in their careers because no one was there to take over the reigns or help the team win.

 

3. They still possessed the puck quite a lot.

 

4. +CF% rel means when the Sedins were on the ice, Vancouver possessed the puck quite a bit more than when any other combination of players were on the ice.

 

 

5. Once again, the Sedins meant possession. They were far from done. They lacked support.

 

 

Team corsi in 2015-16 was 47.2 Daniel had 50.1 and Henrik had 50.9

Team corsi in 2016-17 was 47.9 Daniel had 50.6 and Henrik had 50.5

Team corsi in 2017-18 was 47.7 Daniel had 53.4 and Henrik had 52.2

 

 

 

 

 

the Sedins scored 20 + 22 points in the 2011 playoffs

they combined foir 21 playoff points the rest of their careers

 

you stated earlier that Jim spent the final years of the Sedin's careers trying to get them a cup

(and so it was not a rebuild)

but 

above you say they didn't have the supporting cast

I asked earlier if the 2017 team was a cup contender (you did not answer) and now you are saying they didn't have a supporting cast

 

so which is it?

Cup team or no supporting cast?

 

I infer that Jim was building a Cup contender with 2 aging stars and no supporting cast

cliff notes: you can't get something for nothing..... we can make a big trade. but at least one of the core 6 players or the 9th overall pick has to go. probably 2 of these assets if neither is QH or EP
 

i don't understand many of the comments in here,

 

1) how many big name/top player trades are there in the NHL? most teams want to keep these players. and to me, it makes sense that they are most valuable to the teams where they are already playing very well. who knows with another team/city/coach/teammates?

 

2) how many teams are mentioned in these trades?... i also think players want to live/play in USA. players seem to stay down there when they retire. and i don't think the reverse is true

 

3) we have the assets to trade for a star (seth jones?).... trade EP or QH and maybe something moderate... or trade 2 of BB, BH, Demko, Miller, 9th pick overall (maybe have to add in 3rd moderate asset too)........ people don't want to trade players when they are playing well. and then their value is negatively impacted once they are injury-prone and/or don't play as well....... to get max value, you need to trade player at peak. but then people don't want to do that.

Cupboard is pretty bare, because Benning's good prospects are all being brought into the team. Last year's Draft was a wash, no 1st or 2nd. 

 

Benning needed to acquire as many higher round picks as he could over the last 5+ years. He didn't do that. 

 

Jim Benning is afraid of cap space and the future. Both go hand and hand in his present day debauchery. Judging from his alarming press conference, we are in for a Benning special with an order of Caesar salad on the side. 
 

The only asset he has is his 1st Pick. But we are so screwed that he probably won’t be able to free enough cap to receive a player equal to the price of acquiring that pick. Lol. You’re not going to receive a good player on a ELC Jim, lol. 

 

He is so bad that he actually prevents himself from making even bigger mistakes. 
 

He is so bad, that his failure at building a “Winning culture” allowed him to draft Hughes and EP while concurrently being unable to lock them up long term cause he has no cap space. 

 

The Best he has finished in 7 years is 17th OA yet we are maxed out in cap space with a ghetto prospect pool. 
 

Then people actually get mad when you question any of this. 
 

Patience  is what they say. Ya, the very thing that got us all these horrible contracts so we could be competitive NOW. 
 

….patience, Gillis, Gillis, Gillis, bare cupboards, NTC, Gillis, winning culture, Ownership’s fault, COVID, Luongo, flat cap. Gillis. Paper bags, huggy bears, wah! Gillis, look at Buffalo, go cheer for Toronto,

Statements like this are just silly, and completely factually incorrect.

i agree totally..... of course, hughes, demko etc. are great trade assets. 

 

i think people think you need to get something for nothing......  it's marginally ok only to trade something (the 9th pick) that isn't contributing to team now or in near future.

Am I the only one thinking chasing these big names are just dumb? 

These big names get moved for a reason.

Big names also tend to have some form of NTC (excluding UFAs).  They tend to want to go to playoff teams or big US market teams.

Ok, what mountain do we have in this organization that can be used to backfill the holes?

To be substantially better we need:

A 3rd line centre

A top pairing RHD

At least 1 top 6 forward

Is Hammer and Edler coming back? What do we have to replace them? What space to we have to retain them? 

 

He is going to do whatever it takes to make the team better, tell me how he is going to do that without surrendering his 1st? Podz? Seriously, the other team wants to win the trade too, how is any of this possible? 
 

I’ll tell you how it’s possible, major, permanent damage to our team 5 years from now, that’s how.

Bingo!

Must be nice to be able to "win" an argument by just kicking the ball into whatever net is closest.

 

If Excuse #1 is Jim was catering to the Sedins because they were still productive, by trading a second for Vey, and signing LE, and Gagner, and.... we all know the list through the years.......as support players to take us over the top...that was a failure too!    There's no participation trophy for GMs.  

 

And by going all in every year with the "quick turnaround", "day to day" managing style in those first 4 seasons, it crippled and stalled the rebuild from within method.

 

The alternative was "wasting" the Sedin's final years by not only keeping your draft picks and prospects you are entitled to, you actually add more! :o.  (like Rangers, Ottawa, LA)  instead of ending up with less than you are even allotted.  And yes, the more the merrier. Even later round picks. Not just because down the road its better to develop your own players for a lot of reasons...first dibs, friendly cap hits, loyalty, familiarity with systems, even if they only end up on the third or fourth line.  (Burrows ended up moving up nicely),  but also to have enough you can package superfluous picks up when a great opportunity comes along.

 

 

Starting the rebuild after we went out in the first round in 2015 would have been ideal.  But I can see how that taste of playoffs would entice the owner, GM to delay the rebuild another season.  And hindsight 20/20.   But after dumping McCann and two more draft picks (a 2nd and 4th with one 5th back) for Gudbranson to go for it again in 2016, and failing spectacularly, THAT summer should have been the come to Jesus moment IMO.  By then the Sedins would have been already gifted FOUR more seasons after 2011 to go for the Cup.

 

But JB doubled down, and went for the brass ring again....enter Loui stage left. then Gagner, then...

Then when this second "quick turnaround" didn't pan out.......Lets try it again! with a new round of foundational vets for even more picks out the door. And I gave JB the benefit of the doubt back then.  I was a glass half full on JB.  But its just a accumulation of bad deals, depleted cupboards, empty promises, and just dumb, simple mistakes like no communication with players who are anxiously looking to sign their next contract. Finally reached a boiling point last fall.  Losing not only Toffoli, but Madden and a second as well. And a value RH d like Stecher.  If you look at Value as a commodity, this team has been bleeding it for years.  And its catching up at the exact wrong time.

 

Wait til next summer when it will all come together!  I hope all those that still are high on Jim are right about that. I truly do.

Ok, what mountain do we have in this organization that can be used to backfill the holes?

To be substantially better we need:

A 3rd line centre

A top pairing RHD

At least 1 top 6 forward

Is Hammer and Edler coming back? What do we have to replace them? What space to we have to retain them? 

 

He is going to do whatever it takes to make the team better, tell me how he is going to do that without surrendering his 1st? Podz? Seriously, the other team wants to win the trade too, how is any of this possible? 
 

I’ll tell you how it’s possible, major, permanent damage to our team 5 years from now, that’s how. 

You said he had no assetts.

Now you move the goal posts.
