I think he might be persona non grata in Vancouver only behind Messier and Benning.

Benning was just incompetent as a GM. Keenan (& Messier) was a poor excuse for a human being.

Keenan was vital in helping clean up the mess Pat left post 1994.

he did more harm than good in the 90s treated his players like shit. being a coach/gm that was a players worst nightmare, i remember he aquired a few players 1 month and the next month or 3 4 weeks later they're traded.

Yah zero f*cks given about MK. Didn't even come close to my 'man I hate that guy scale'.

Truly a nonentity in this market for me. Part of the blurry dark background of some bleak seasons and nothing more.

And he made an absolutely brilliant trade running 16 out of town. Yep he was mean to Grant Ledyard and a couple other scrubs. The guy I was pissed he dealt was Gelinas. That team was garbage fire when he got here. And BTW Brian Burke has done some pretty horrendous things to players......like Peter Zezel for instance.
