If there's anything that should worry you (or any of us), it's scenarios like this:






Seriously, David ****ING Desharnais???? I have trouble believing EVEN Benning could be so stupid, but then again I have underestimated him before ...



Believe CanaFan, believe.

Have to be patient and just wait it out. Nothing is a given with Benning.

I doubt that rumour is true.. Marc Bergevin has already used up his 1 trade with Benning, pretty sure the league has a policy to wait your turn

I have trouble believing that you actually think that account is reliable??

I don't like to make ultimatums or threats based on events that could actually happen, but no word of a lie if that deal takes place I will seriously find a new hobby or sporting interest to replace the Canucks for the rest of Benning's (hopefully short) regime. it's been a rough ride so far but that would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back then sadistically murders his entire family, neighbours, and village.

A twitter account with 7k followers that I've never heard of? Sounds legit. But there's no point in worrying about what moves Benning will do. Yes, he will continue to make terrible trades until he's fired. There's no point in stressing about it, it's going to happen.

I have no idea if it's reliable or not. I'm merely commenting on my hypothetical reaction if it were to come to pass.

All rumours are unreliable but the sad thing is that I can't look at this one and despite its oderous implications for the team I can't even say with any conviction that it would never happen.

Cause gotta make playoffs next year and future captain material and stuff ...

The problem is with this GM I can't just blow off the ridiculous sounding rumours....

Wouldn't blame you.

Essentially how I feel. I'm apathetic to what Benning does.

Absolute zero interest in giving Montreal Dubois and help them clear their deadweight off the roster. Better not happen.

I honestly think you folks should just ignore that kind of stuff, it's not even worth discussing.

Sad thing is I think some here are actively hoping for it to be true...

We should but having Benning in charge has made many shell shocked and paranoid....suffering from BTS. ( bad trade syndrome )

Some people are stupid. I hate what Benning has done to this franchise over the past couple of years, but a move like that could legitimately set us back another five.

We need someone to ask him what he thinks Brown is projected to be. If he doesn't say first liner, I think we're good.

Someone will blow doors off so much with a real good foundational player who will make us tough to play against and stand up to their teammates so we're probably getting Scott Hartnell. And we'll throw in a 2nd round pick because we're nervous the other team won't accept.

But he'll sucker them into giving us a 5th rounder too, cuz he's an OGGM.
