(your choice if you want to consider the fact that the guy they booted him out for has also just been booted out a year later). Horvat's the captain, in case you're still pretending to watch Canucks hockey, which I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great dodge. At least this time you replied with something when you lost the argument, usually you just disappear.

Smashian Kassian Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think I'd take Zadorov over some of the UFA options. He's not as good as Schmidt IMO but his skillset is intriguing, can play both sides & he's still youngish. Hughes - Hamonic OEL - Zadorov Rathbone - Myers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case this goes sideways Lol I'm proud to cheer for the Canucks team, regardless of who the freaking GM is, unlike some people. Apparently we are somehow the "benning bros" - what a ridiculous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the guy who TRIED TO ARGUE in failure about Gillis' magical GMing abilities, while completely disregarding his failures. Yeah, I remember that. You suck.

It's the opposite here, but only here. The results support one "side", I'll let you guess which one. The other can only offer meaningless rhetoric having to do with "the plan" and "patience". Quite Trumpian, actually. "This will be the greatest rebuild ever, people tell me, all the time, it's remarkable. Everywhere I go the people say it. We're doing a great job." Yeah, our team looks awful now. Benning has done a fantastic job cleaning up the mess left for him by the idiot he replaced, especially since the real rebuild didn't start until the Sedins retired. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a poll today of 31 GMs, 27 thought that Benning had a week of multiple home runs Ok - I just made that up, but it is as valid as the bolded sentence quoted.

Either Benning made a good trade to get him, or he made a good trade to get rid of him.

Just happens to be way overpaid for what he brings. If I'm a rebuilding team in need of players to fill out a roster and Tampa is willing to ship a first to get rid of Johnson, I'd take it.
