Butters Stoch Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Benning isn't going anywhere because FA refuses to admit that he made a mistake with his re-tool idea and thinking that Benning could pull it off. STOP GIVING THIS TEAM YOUR MONEY or else we're gonna be forced to watch a capped out team that trades picks/prospects but can't even make the playoffs for many more years 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Pearson Horvat Podkolzin Boeser Peterson Garland Motte JT Hoglander ________ Dickinson ________ Myers OEL Hughes Poolman ______ _______ We are missing four players and they are all on the defensive side of the game. That is not on the coach. They need two big solid defensive D men. Players who can shut down the opposition and play the PK. Maybe Woo is one? The forth line needs two defensive forwards who know how to kill penalties. Sutter was to be one and Lockwood could be on his way. They are also missing depth. We have none. I mean "NONE" ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alright man, I've been told JB makes good on the 5th and 6th round picks he doesn't end up trading away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His kids are grown up now (and are all splitting time between Russia and America as they are American born and having careers that aren't confined to Russia) and he is comfortable on both continents with both languages.

Fair, but also staying in his home country where he's a legend has to have a lot of appeal. I'd be happy to be wrong; he's a brilliant hockey mind and an absolute class act as well.

Bure_Pavel Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Make sense to fire both, let the new GM pick the coaching staff. On Benning for not recognizing a coaching change was needed, the star players and special teams are not performing under Green. Make Daniel and Henrik Co-GM's Edited November 15, 2021 by Bure_Pavel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Regarding this alpha dog talk is there any word on who this could be? While I do think there is some truth to this story, until there's more info to this I would not want to speculate at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 There's a 3 game home stand then a 5 game road trip. Not sure why the delay. I would think it would be best to get some new management/coaches before the road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm tired of people characterizing Benning's tenure as "8 years of failure." We were a rebuilding team for much of that time, and he drafted really well. We have him to thank for Demko, Boeser, Pettersson, and Hughes; plus Podkolzin and Klimovich look like players. He has also made some savvy trades like the one for JT Miller. This team on paper is the best we've had since 2011. Our poor start is not on the GM, it's on the coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ey40 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I really want to work for the Aquilini. I can be really miserable doing my job for 7 straight years but he will not fire me, instead also gives me a vote of confidence. Other than working for the government, I do not think of any other jobs that would provide this kind of "job security"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really hard to tell when he traded away draft picks every year to speed up the rebuilding. Other than the 6 players you name, which players do you think are ready to play in the big league, especially in the defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not playoff caliber at all. That is also on Benning. Plenty of evidence to support that Motte and Sutter are always injured and can’t be relied on. Yet he ignores it and doesn’t bring in extra bodies to help in that area. He loves to go shop at the bottom of the barrel and take the leftovers.

PositionOfPower Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Everyone knows the definition of insanity expecting a different outcome with Green or Benning is insanity. Fans are sick and tired of seeing him behind the bench and his predictable facial expression whenever a penalty is called against. Everytime time I see this junior level coach what comes to mind is him eating a pizza and saying "this is good stuff". FIRE GREEN we are sick of your season letter saying this year blah blah blah will be different. HELLO ITS BEEN 7 fr****n years. Invest in a proper legit coach with a good win % and stop trying to hire someone you can control and are cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
