Guy was a clown. Pat Quinn built this team from the ground up.

And then Quinn was asleep at the wheel. He was pissed at the new ownership after he had hired his buddy Rick Ley to coach the team and then he had to fire him. Then they hire the idiot Tom Renney, he hung onto guys like Babych, Murzyn, McLean and several others until they had no value.

I'm a Quinn guy from 87-95. But he deserved the boot in 97. Sure they had Almo, but Bure wanted out long before Keenan got here. Linden's play was cratering. They let Diduck walk, Ronning too.

Quinn built it, then he let it rot.

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

I know this is off topic, but don’t get Benning off the hook for being a bad person and chalk it up to being incompetent (which he was). Benning’s selfishness and ego hurt the franchise for much longer than Messier and Keenan ever did.
