You can't help but want to punch Benning in the face. I don't want a GM that breast feeds his children when they're 8 years old like Regier but Benning showed zero regard for Tyler Seguin as human being there. Chiarelli couldn't wait to change the subject on that one as the guys around continue to mallet a 21 year old like a piece of meat.
wow
to the refrences, to the opinions, the entire post
yes I certainly want to punch him in the face, zero regard as a human being? wow, just wow. You never see Chiarelli's reaction they cut the scene and jump to another part of the video. Continue to mallet a 21 yr old like a piece of meat? The worst thing said was "we are about winning not babysitting." Other than that the only comments made were "its about knowing when to move on", that entire scene summarizes everything we want to change with a new GM. He's willing to give up on a player thats not part of the winning formula, hes not married to older players, he identifies the core and holds them together everyone else is expendable. Outside of wanting to hit him in the face he sounds like exactly what you would want for this team.
I don't need to love the GM, I just need to know he's willing to do anything to put a winner together. Let Pegula worry about treating people like a human. Isn't that what the locker rooms for?
edit: Ha, just saw the second part. That staff doesn't have a very high opinion of Seguin. "Not willing to pay the price." Sounds like some players on the Sabres over the last decade. Stand by my opinion though. If Darcy had that kind of attitude and that team around him then we trade D Roy when hes .8ppg top 2 center and get a boat load instead of Ott and a pick.
