I am perhaps the most positive fan on here. Have 4 seasons tickets and always think its going to be a good year.
Benning is supposed to be good at evaluating talent. So ... His massive overpayment for Sbisa, Dorsett, Prust and Sutter will be the answer. I look at this roster, being a cap payroll team ... and just shake my head.
I was amazed last year that we had as good a season as we did.
I will be amazed this year if we make the playoffs.
I can not see any other favorable outcome other than we get a top 3 draft pick, Benning is gone and McCann Virtanen Trymakin Cassels etc etc prove to be great picks.
I suspect the most depressing part of all of this is that Benning seems to need to prove repeatedly that everything Gillis did needs to be fixed, and that all of his moves have been golden. Even though he has already sold 3 - 4 of his decisions for nothing.
Glad that Aquilini (who I think is a very unpleasant *******) is getting his financial ass handed to him with the US$ and the fan base no longer wiling to overpay for tickets.
Benning should be gone by Thanksgiving if the Canucks are not in contention.
