Because some posters still believe water is dry?

Honestly what else should we talk about? Any conversation about the management is going to be negative due to how incompetent they are.

The more negativity there is focused on management the better.

Sutter's play, Eriksson's play, Vrbata's play, Higgins' play, Burrows play, Virtanen's play, McCann's play, Sedins play are just symptoms of the brain tumour that is our front office and major surgery is needed ASAP.

Just doing my best to reinforce this. :).

What else can we talk about? We can talk about what we as fans can do to help facilitate this major surgery.

As a Sens fan particularly you should feel our pain. The Sens are the poster child for this problem, in fairness to them, mostly out of necessity for survival.

Oh I feel you folks, Sorry didn't reply quicker im sorta fighting a cold and was knocked out for a few hours.

Now back to the post, I'm not trying to say anything bad but what's going to happen once the Sedins are gone.

Ottawa isnt in a bottom five because Anderson is playing like Hasek in comparison to our team which is just awful.

Have you not noticed that the Canucks have trouble scoring? Have you not noticed that Sutter has scored a goal in the last 4 games?

He's on a 4 game goal streak and you say he's a terrible option for the Sedins and barely producing? :shakehead

4 games makes a season, am I right?

Nobody has been able to figure it out conclusively.

General thought is that the blue players are the guys they like and the black players the guys they don't ... but if so their scouting is so comically bad it's unbelievable.

yeah, I'm pretty sure there were no coherent readings of the colors on the board. they all painted the team as an order of magnitude stupider and out of touch than they already are
 
I don't know how Dan Murphy kept a straight face with that video.

I think there is more than two colours? I have some issues with colour-blindness so hard for me to tell.

Also every team has either an "X" or a "?" or a checkmark in the top corners. For example Columbus has two checkmarks, Detroi has a ? in the left and a checkmark on the right, Toronto has an "X" in the left and a checkmark on the right. Shrug.

What do the blue and black ink mean again?

When you connect the blue inked words with lines it creates complex geometric shapes that capture quantum equations for how to fit square pegs nicely into round holes.

There's no way they happened to linger on the one with the spelling error for that long by accident, right?

Looking again, it's pretty obvious that blue is players they like and black players they don't. Most good players are blue, most bad players and bad contracts are black, and anyone Benning dumped is black.

But you can see absolutely hilarious blind spots when it comes to skill players under 5'10 (Atkinson, Johnson), impact players with work ethic issues (Kessel, Nash, Ovechkin) and offensive defenders (Letang, Green). And with that sort of antipathy to talent, it isn't surprising we have such a boring, low-scoring team now.

'One' with the spelling mistake? Pittsbugh's defense contains 'Depres' and 'Matta'. :laugh:

Honestly not sure how you guys managed to spot out the words.

i don't think it's that easy of an explanation because it offers too many completely insane outcomes
 
It seems that their is a consensus that Benning is a bad manager because the Canucks have a bad team 3 years into his term. add that together with many inconsequential deals and it is checkmate. However I think it is much more complicated than that we had a stale aging lineup with no prospects in 2013. Now we have a little less stale lineup with a few prospects. Next year if Boeser, virtanen and OJ arrive it is a bit less stale year after this years first and Demko. In 3 years this should be a young exciting team with perhaps only the Sedins Ericksson over 30. A great manager could have done it a year quicker perhaps. However that we were going to the bottom was determined by the 2006 to 2012 drafts .

By pausing the video you can make out the rosters of about a dozen teams and partial rosters of a few more.

Such as?

All it tells me is that Benning is a lousy talent evaluator and a mindset stuck in 30 years ago when it comes to small/skill players. Which we already know to be true.

Somehow can't seem to pause at the right frame where the words are legible for me.

You're not missing much. Even if what people are speculating about is true (ie blue ink for players they want, black for ones they don't) all it confirms is something that's already been established beyond any doubt: Benning can't judge hockey talent worth ****.

When Benning took over the team Horvat, Hutton, and Markstrom were still prospects. Also in the system trending well at the time was Shinkaruk, Jensen, Gaunce, Cassels, Corrado, and Subban.

Other than the fact that the current group hasn't had time to grow warts, I'd say there's little difference in value between the prospect pool back then and the prospect pool today. But if you consider that Gillis final 3 drafts he was drafting from a natural position of 29, 26, and 24, while Benning's 3 draft his natural position was 6, 23, and 3, that's actually rather pathetic.

In terms of prospect pool strength we hit our peak after the 2014 draft, but Benning whittled down that haul by whiffing on Nylander/Ehlers for Virtanen, throwing away Forsling for nothing, and selling on McCann early.

No the team now is very exciting and good. You are wrong.
