Hmm....Benning is kind of waffling about Willie....needs to save the tape of the last two games, if he's undecided....but that Shinkaruk trade is going to haunt his going forward.

And Dorsett here's a buyout for you
And Higgins here's a buyout for you
And Burrows here's a buyout for you
And Sbisa here's a buyout for you
And yes I know you are UFAs but just to be sure because my paperwork aint real good,
Vrbata here's a buyout for you

And Willie, here's a buyout
So he'll get a $4+ million contract on his next deal?
(should give Sutter a thank you card)
He isn't the guy who God created to kill penalties though.

This is the year....
That was a tough game to be at.
On one hand I want the Canucks to get the best pick possible - but on the other, being surrounded by Flames fans and having to hear the annoyances of a home team scoring....I probably should have just stayed home.

Turn on TSN 1040 post game......
"I trust Benning I think he's surrounded himself with smart people"
Turn off TSN 1040 post game.......
I mean if it's your job to commentate about hockey then shouldn't you at least know that surrounding yourself with Weisbrod and firing Gilman is the opposite of trying to surround yourself with smart people.
I mean jesus christ. If all you are going to do is repeat managements talking points you really shouldn't be qualified to be on the radio or in media in general. All you are is shill for management. This is worse then the afternoon guys defending Sbisa. Because at least they are pretty obvious that they don't give a **** about hockey because every second word out of them is about the NFL and how that one fat guy goes on trips with famous people.

13 GA against the Oilers and the Flames. Marky and Miller deserves better. I wonder who gets the nod for the last game now, I'm guessing Miller since he won't want to end the season like this.
Bo, please keep growing. You are just about the only skater I have high hopes for.
7 goals for his team and Shinkaruk gets 0 points and a -1.. Benning knew what he was doing

Don't think they do post game links, not sure.
First thing i said was call out "ward" on the "smart men behind this team". Mentioned the sbisa/dorsett signings and prust trade.
Then I talked about how this is a time to celebrate, we not only have 4th in lottery, but also we pick better in other rounds.
Mentioned Tyler Benson and Ty Ronning as potential 2nd/3rd round picks that we should target.
He gave me a ton of time.
Also mentioned that this drop is massive because at worst we pick 7th.
So we will get 1 of the big 3 D-men, or 1 of the big 3 F. Tkatchuk will be in the middle their.

I don't see why so many people are so excited about a 4-6 pick. Are the teams that pick ahead of us (better players) going to good next year?
Did McDavid make Edmonton good? How about Eichel in Buffalo ? Columbus has had a ton of top 5 picks, they any good?
We are going to be basement dwellers for a decade. This team is not making the playoffs in next 5 years.
Didn't listen so don't know what time you called but this is the link to the post-game - so you should be able to find the time of your segment.

Eichel's Sabres finished higher then the canucks
Ekblad's Panthers won their division

So we can't get excited for the future just because we won't be a good team in a short time? Ok....

Hahahaha Buffalo is 14th in the conference , and we aren't getting as good of a player. So we should be pumped about that?
And for The panthers, you chose 1/10 teams where this happens to make your point. Do you want me to list the 9 other examples where top picks go to teams and they continue to be junk teams for years?

Imagine this team with subpar goaltending all year. Imagine if Miller kept up his >.910% play and if Marky didn't have that streak when Miller went down. Now imagine if one or both of them take a step back next season. Boy it's hard feeling optimistic about this organization at the moment. Praying for a top 4 pick - I want one of the Finns or our choice of Chychrun/Juolevi/Sergachev etc.
Horvat, Baertschi, Hutton, Tanev and Hansen are the only players I really think are pieces. The Sedins are a given but they will - naturally - decline and won't be first liners of high quality anymore. Edler is a good hockey player and Markström has looked promising for the majority of this season but has been sort of falling off as of late. Virtanen and McCann hasn't really impressed me as much I thought they would but should be pieces moving forward.
I feel depressed.
EDIT: OK, just watched this photo where ESPN has ranked the top Canucks performer every game and realized that maybe Markström hasn't exactly fallen off. https://twitter.com/patersonjeff/status/718287885359792128/photo/1

Yea, when they said "Benning is doing a fine job" and "This free agent class is terrible" I basically knew the media has had their ear pulled by Linden and co.
