Which is odd and lazy on their part as Lekkerimaki was ranked from 9-18 in most scouting lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loui Eriksson was the greatest signing we've ever made, he's been an integral piece of building a healthy and hardworking team culture. They should honestly build a statue of him outside the arena. Right @eeeeergh? Loui is our king. You are a gentleman and a scholar. truer words were never spoken. Loui is the once and future king. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s our owner’s fault for pushing Benning into making a bad “win now” trade. I am really starting to believe he is related to OEL cause the fuzzy logic, he uses to justify the current version of OEL and the trades, is just baffling.

Not for the Canucks, but for somebody. He sucked long before legal issues. Showing up out of shape year after year was sad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just now, ilduce39 said: I was more sympathetic to Benning than most but Virtanen and Juolevi were both pretty brutal. We’ve had a lot of heartbreak at the draft, though. I consider Virtanen to be the owners choice and he went with Juolevi (not BPA) because Benning, when interviewed by Bob MacKenzie was asked directly about not having a top defensive prospect so he picked who he thought was the best D available. Both my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not even playing much PK for us anymore. He’s not playing PP. he’s a bottom pairing guy who is paid like a top,pair. It’s a horrid contract that we are stuck with for five more years. Thanks to our owner pushing his GM to “win now”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to call him #2 when he is averaging 3 minutes less a game... but yes playing with Quinn will make anyone look like #2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t rank OEL top 5 either I want to see how low this organization goes. Podz and a 1st for Karlsson Bo for Seguin Boeser for Anderson Lets go all in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this time last year Pete was pouting on the bench and visibly adolescent on the ice. Just because he "looks like a Sedin" now doesn't make him one. The sad truth is we don't have a leader right now. Schenn is probably the closest thing we have to a captain after Bo. I would go for a season with no captain until one presents himself as ready to take that role. I think Pete needs to prove himself more before he wears the C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning did hand out NtCs like candy...which obviously must have handcuffed them a bit We had many but my main point was that we didn't have those type of players that wanted to chase cups. This is the worry, the character makeup of the players we draft. Burrows and Hansen were the only two that were willing to take one for the team and allow themselves to be traded.

Methinks he’s still playing through a lingering injury, but I can see where you’re coming from and agree with you in terms of what the contract means going forward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
