2017/2018 Management Discussion | NEW MOD WARNING IN OP AS OF 5/20/18

[PG Canuck]

i dunno, its all up to the ownership....due to the results of last years drafting...benning aint going nowhere unless he repeats the mistakes he made before that ...then yes he would be good as gone.

I guess that's why Elliotte Friedman said on 650 today that the Canucks are interested in the GM market, and what is out there. You poor soul...I almost feel sorry for you because the writing couldn't be anymore on the wall right now, but I don't even feel sorry because Benning has ruined my favourite team and made it a laughing stock from where we were before.

And it turns out his biggest "asset" isn't even being taken into consideration anymore. Judd Brackett is the saviour we need.

I myself won't breathe easy til I witness Benning riding a taxi out of the city or him tied to a rocket and shot towards the sun, either is acceptable.

i really dont care, yes benning did terrible.

i guess its time for judd brackett to be the GM!

not.

who the f*** is out there avaliable? name somebody that isnt trash.

 

[Bleach Clean]

@PG Canuck I know that it's looking like Benning will be shown the door, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. They've kept him for 4 years. He's not gone yet. And I don't trust Aqua or Linden to do the right thing.

Patience.

I AGREE THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD REPLACE BENNING IS JUDGE BRACKET HIS PROTEGE THAT HE HIRED AND ALSO RAISED AS AN ORPHAN GOOD POINT AS USUAL

Brisebois, raw potato, Brisbois’ nail clippings, boiled potato, Brisebois’ left shoe, mashed potato...

I'm feeling a lot better now compared to how I felt starting this season and the little hot streak we started on. Aquilini and Linden haven't been very supportive of Benning ever since...that bodes well. Then Friedman is saying the Canucks are interested in what is out there for GM's. It's really only a matter of time, and Benning is going to have to do something to make Aquilini change his mind at this point IMO.

Literally anyone over what we have now is an upgrade.

It's obviously no guarantee, but the tone has changed so much between Aquilini/Linden it's encouraging.

Like most of us said last year, Benning used his get out of jail card last year after firing WD

 

[RobertKron]

It's obviously no guarantee, but the tone has changed so much between Aquilini/Linden it's encouraging.

Part of me thinks that they're trying to play it cool, failing miserably, and telegraphing their intentions as usual, but another part of me also understands that this isn't really a group that appears to ever operate on any sort of actual plan, so...

I like your optimism. I do hope it will lead to good things.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna brace myself for the dreaded TDL...

 

[PG Canuck]

Yeah it's how it always goes in the NHL. GM fires the coach as his get out jail card, but if it continues the fingers start to point at the GM. All fingers are on Benning now.

 

[valkynax]

You're right, they don't look like guys with a plan.

Hey speaking of which...

 

[xtra]

Wait what did eliotte Friedman say?

 

[PG Canuck]

Part of me thinks that they're trying to play it cool, failing miserably, and telegraphing their intentions as usual, but another part of me also understands that this isn't really a group that appears to ever operate on any sort of actual plan, so...

I'm probably a bit more optimistic than I should be, but it seems like every day or every other day there's a quote from someone indicating things aren't looking good for Benning. Friedman today saying what he said is another good step towards the end goal.

 

[Yggdrasil]

Literally anyone over what we have now is an upgrade.

ignorance is bliss.

thats what i thought.

thats why none of u have zero connections towards aquilini or management.

 

[PG Canuck]

ignorance is bliss.

thats what i thought. thats why none of u are aquilini or management.

So you are part of Benning's management group? Everything is starting to add up now...

 

[Yggdrasil]

So you are part of Benning's management group? Everything is starting to add up now...

"literally anyone would be an upgrade..."

lets hire mike milbury then!

like i said, U KNOW NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

your hatred is so blind

Lombardi would be OK.

Hell I'm willing to shoot Ralph Kreuger a message and see if he's interested.

It won't be a bad gig to fulfill either. Normally I'd say the expectation/bar's so low it's easy to not disappoint. In this case Benning has broken the bar and tossed it out of the window so...

Have you replied to what Friedman said today? That the Canucks have a drafting system that doens't include Benning and his expertise?

Is your love so blind?

Dubas/Fenton/etc would be upgrades.

 

[Yggdrasil]

...Jon Snow. Yggdrasil = Ygritte confirmed.

u know nothing again,

yggdrasil is the tree of life that connects 9 worlds in norse mythology... u know the one that has odin, thor, loki and the valkyries. FOR VALHALLA!

i want ralph kreuger honestly... screw the rest.

give him the gm job and full control .

hell, if i was aquilini i'd demote linden to vice president and give ralph the president + gm position so he can leave his football club.
