Wow, after checking that site out I didn't know that the Souix fans where that active.

Shouldn't Canuck fans on Hockeysfuture be "pumping Benning's tires" a little more?

Say what you will about Benning and some of his signings (i.e. Miller, Sbisa, Dorsett, Sutter, etc.......the signings that the anti-Benning crowd vehemently despise), but Boeser and Demko look like absolute gems.
Time will tell obviously if it actually translates to the NHL level, but why aren't more posters giving Benning credit where credit is due?

i want the bartkowski thread back
most "anti-benning" people (myself included) do give him a ton of credit for the boeser and demko picks.

How much more credit can we give the Boeser/Demko picks? A ton of us think they're going to be absolute stud first liners/future starters.
We're not pumping Benning's tires specifically because the godawful trainwreck moves combined with these types of home runs result in an overall mixed reaction (with the negatives overwhelming the positives right now because they're guaranteed negatives and Benning is directly to blame because they make no sense, whereas the draft picks are still just hopefuls that are tracking exceedingly well and could possibly be attributed to other things-- We simply don't know).

Boeser has a great shot but I was most impressed with his ability to make plays down the stretch and in the playoffs when teams were focused on taking away his shot.

Hopefully Vancouver doesn't sign him.
It would be way more beneficial to stay one more year and have Tyson Jost as his linemate and develop with some elite talent

Weird time to be a Canucks fan 2024
I saw on elite prospects a scout had compared Boeser to Patrick Sharp and I think that's a pretty apt comparison.

His dynamic offensive presence is definitely similar to Sharp, but he doesn't have the same sort of stride as Sharp. He reminds me more of Corey Perry.

Doesn't make much sense. He's 3rd in overall points and 5th in points/game in the entire NCAA. What's left to prove? Should be in the AHL/NHL next year. Delaying signing also further exposes you to the risk he walks for nothing (although probably low in this case, can't see him sticking around long enough in college for that to happen).
Funny that this management team watched Virtanen's very mediocre D+1 season and felt he needed to be forced into the lineup, but can't come to the same conclusion with Boeser's much, much more impressive season.

If Jimbo has gone back to Vancouver without having tendered an offer to Boeser, what does that say about our odds of signing Stecher and Caggiula? Not meaning to chicken little here, but now I'm curious.
EDIT: Welllllllllllllllll Stecher and the NoDak boys were busy with what appears to be a legendary bender after the game. Maybe it's nothing worth speculating about.
