2019 Off-Season Non-Management Thread - Canucks/Boeser talking 4-5 years, $7m AAV - Kypreos)

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Phaneuf bought out. Any interest bringing him in to play 3rd pair minutes?

Ashton Sautner is a better option than Dion Phaneuf.

So, to sum up, anything that Benning does will be a catastrophe. Good to know...

 

[CanaFan]

Except it wasn’t blades of steel.

Was Nintendo ice hockey.

Good catch. 30 years of cobwebs built up on that one.

Nah, all his moves are gonna be amazing like acquiring Gudbranson, Bartkowski, Sutter, Prust, Eriksson, Sbisa, Beagle, Schaller, Clendenning, Dahlen, Vey, ...

I had to stop cause I’m running out of data listing all his amazing moves.

 

[CanuckCity]

Still think if we're trading for anyone that Colin Miller should be the target.

He ticks all the boxes (other than physicality i guess) and has fallen out of favour in Vegas.

Then in FA target Nyqvist.

Don't forget all the draft picks Benning traded away on top to get those "assets".

Pretty much..He will be criticized for whomever he signs..or..criticized for not signing anybody (or missing out on a player)...It's a complete no win situation.

All bases have been covered.

Lmaooo talk about not seeing the forest for the trees

Totally. All his great moves get ripped daily, like ... hmmm, struggling to think of examples.

Got some?

 

[sting101]

what i cant understand is why teams dont give us their best players for washed up bums and shit draft picks

You were ripping Pettersson pretty much right after he was drafted?

 

[Cupless44]

Can you honestly defend his UFA performance so far? Seriously?

Pathetic

Are we talking draft picks here?

Didn’t think so.


And no, I didn’t rip the pick, as I’m sure you’ve checked, otherwise you’d have posted it by now.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I'm not disagreeing with you that pro scouting under his watch has been poor...I'm just stating a point that he will get ripped no matter what he does July 1st.

If he signs Atremi Panarin, you think he’s getting ripped?

 

[CanaFan]

Pathetic

Par for the course. It’s not the GM’s body of work, it’s the fanbase’s irrational hatred for him.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Picking the highest ranked, highest scoring, record breaking European player with a top 5 pick sure was a STROKE OF GENIUS!!!!

Only a master scout gm savant genius hybrid could have made that decision.

 

[Bleach Clean]

what i cant understand is why teams dont give us their best players for washed up bums and **** draft picks

In year 5, I would hope that the GM has accumulated more than just washed up bums?

And more humorous commentary from PoM. Pettersson is now a “move”.

 

[CanaFan]

This can only be confirmed if he makes good moves. So it will likely remain just your pet theory.

It’s the only well he can draw from.

Pearson Stecher Sutter Leivo Baertschi Roussel are bums?

 

[CanaFan]

Pearson Stecher Sutter Leivo Baertschi Roussel are bums?

No, they aren’t washed up bums, they range from marginally useful to decent depth pieces on a wildcard team.

The term damning with faint praise might apply here. There has been a lot of washed up bums though.

I didnt say you ripped the actual pick..selective memory indeed.

what does “pretty much right after the pick” imply then? And you have a pretty broad definition of “ripped” if that’s what you think I was doing. I “rip” Juolevi, I had concerns about Pettersson’s strength, weight, and skating in the NHL. All valid concerns that he managed to overcome.
