Bravo Benning. The D is pretty much rebuilt.

Nobody else gave the OP a like for that post? I'm the only one? It was a interesting, refreshing post without all the toxic negativity. Too bad he'll never get to see his lone like because it said he was last seen on this site in 2016. You guys didn't run him off did you? "oh, somebody's in a good mood about the team, lets run him off."

A post from three years ago?

That was so incredibly wrong?

Why are you so obviously ignorant lol

OP had Juolevi being a first pairing D, Gudbranson as a second pair D, with Tryamkin anchoring the third.

Two of those guys aren't in the NHL and the worst of the three plays for us and is the worst defenseman in the NHL.

Hmm

I didn't see a timeline on his prediction and when you draft a guy 5th overall, pretty safe to say the entire organization thought he's be a starter. I'm obviously ignorant because i obviously never got my grade 10, obviously.

Isn't he great, folks? Let's give him a big hand! He'll be back tomorrow from 8-10 in the Starfish Lounge! Remember our specials; Rickard's White $4.99 pints, and wings are 2 for 1 after 7!

Thank you, thank you very much.

Buddy on the first page talking about how Gubranson is the new Bieksa lmao

 

[RobertKron]

What is a realistic projection for Juolevi at this point? Wasn't able to see many highlights of his play in the AHL before his injury, but he did manage 13 points in 18 games.

15 year anchor and probably best ever Canuck defenseman.

Thank god he isn't because he'd be retired, hanging around the all star game, trying to get some air time.

That would be so, so much better for the Canucks than the current situation where he plays for the Canucks.

 

[RobertKron]

Funny how the defense is exactly the same projection as what we are projecting now but just with Hughes because we have still sucked since this was posted.

No they have luke schenn now

Timberman is drunk again

shhhhh

I'll take threads that didn't age well for a 100 Alex.

LOL OP

And yet somehow still more effective than Gudbranson.

 

[CherryToke]

Gudbranson will be fine when he gets more experience. Hasn't even played 500 games and you guys are writing him off?

He's not even 30 years old yet - give him some time to develop, sheesh guys.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

That was a rough read.

Also a great example of certain posters opus moderandi.

Every time I see that comparison, I cringe.

Gudbranson over the past three years is comparable to last legs Bieksa in Anaheim.

Bieksa in his glory days was an absolute stud top four D.

It's actually hilarious to compare a player that was a pretty big fan favourite (Bieksa) to a player that is universally hated by the current fanbase (Gudbranson). At the time, I guess it could make sense, but Bieksa was loved a lot.

It's like comparing a player to Burrows (except KB3 wasn't as loved as Burr). Anyone from that 2011 team is basically adored, for good reasons.

I've heard he's gonna be a real good top 4 Dman for us.

Except Aaron Rome. Man I miss the days when he and Tanner Glass were all we had to complain about.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

It really is all pretty depressing. Really is a shame Tryamkin didn't stick around. Aside from Stecher, I have no confidence in this defensive group going forward.

 

[I am toxic]

Bravo?

Or encore?

 

[PM]

I only read the first post to make sure this was a real thread and I love it. I remember people saying how well Benning result our D and it was so hilarious then and even better now. Edler is actually this teams third most valuable player behind Markstrom and Pettersson. Tanev is fourth.
