Provost Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 4 hours ago, Kurgom said: Ownership is a lot worse off money wise than most people realize, and nothing will happen until they recover financially from the pandemic. Green is a budget coach that will never coach in the NHL again, Benning is a budget GM, they would have been gone by now if the pandemic didn't happen. Then trade away a high priced talent and hire a good coach and GM with the money. This argument doesn’t hold any water, Benning is doing nothing but costing money by signing guys to bad contracts which he has to buy out or aren’t playing for us… or he has to use assets like 1st round picks which turn into cheap ELC players 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua59 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Will make no difference at this point season over. I find it funny that so many people know Aaquilini's financial situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem like they like to cave to fan and media pressure. I could see them stubbornly sticking with these guys till the end of the season.

TheRussianRocket1994 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 People can say fire the coach / gm all they want...and i'm not saying i disagree at this point, but there is way too much blame on them and no where near enough blame on the players! Especially some of the highest paid ones. There is no excuse for how this team has played. Is there room for improvement on parts of the team, sure, but this team is drastically better than they've showed!! I've stayed away from here for good reason and will prob do so again until there's change(s) / the s*** storm settles. Gong show! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't care about fan happiness but the economic health of their company and team is their number one goal. Management won't spend on this lost season no matter the damage it will do, that's how they've always operated around these kinds of situations.

Tiger-Hearted Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 After three disastrous road games and based on this season overall, it's become very painfully obvious...the entire Canucks brand is broken. There has been absolutely NO leadership and accountability at all levels. Young star players like Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser have regressed. The trading of young prospects like Jared McCann, Gustav Forsling and Jonathan Dahlen, who are all enjoying NHL success right now, and 2nd round picks with the lack of quality coming to Vancouver in return is biting this franchise in the arse BIG TIME. Not to mention the drafting of Jake Virtanen 6th overall which likely impacted GM Jim Benning's decision to draft Olli Juolevi over Matt Tkachuk. Chairman Francesco Aquilini needs to be relegated by the Aquilini family by being placed in the background while new Canucks Sports & Entertainment CEO Michael Doyle needs to be THE boss and hire a qualified GM replacement. Leadership and accountability are badly needed. Benning AND John Weisbrod must go. Weisbrod is NOT a hockey person. Just a former NBA executive who's a "Yes Man". His hiring came at the expense of former assistant GM Laurence Gilman who is very highly respected and understands the salary cap thoroughly. The loss of former director of scouting Judd Brackett will most likely prove costly. All because he wasn't a Benning "Yes Man". Unless these crucial changes are made, nothing will improve. Very sorry for the pessimism but a spade needs to be called a "spade". 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the GM that assembled this team, there is obviously some blame on the players but do you really want Jim Benning at the helm again making trades to "improve" this team? NO. You fire Jim Benning and clean house. Let a new GM come in here that will bring his own coach as well as time to assess this team for the year. Once the new GM has analyzed this team, then he can make some moves that he thinks is necessary. Enough of this mediocracy. Enough. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too much blame on one side when it should be across the board. Yes he assemble this team, but there is NO way this roster is anywhere near this bad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
