Hes made some bad moves, Forsling trade was bad, but not bad as in, the other player that went the other way is biting us or could have been doing this blah blah blah for Vancouver type of bad.
Clendenning is no longer a Canuck, Forsling has played more games for the Hawks, a minor win , Forsling is currently in the AHL minor win, but none the less a win.
trading a 2nd round for Linden Vey. A bad trade, but back to my original point, its not like it's a move that we will regret type of move, since that 2nd round was traded again, and the player by the name of Roland Mckeown. Currently not an NHL player.
I don't like think giving up an extra 3rd round pick in the Sutter trade.
But the fact is, we gave up a 3rd round pick. Plus Sutter is still playing for us, not a bad trade, Bonino wasn't playing too well for us.
McCann trade, lets put it this way, Gudbranson has played more games, and even have more ice time for our team then McCann has for Florida, 2nd rounder is a tougher pill to swallow, it can be a good or bad trade depending on how you see it. I think Gudbranson. is more helpful to any NHL team right now then a Jared McCann, who is barely hanging on as a 3rd line player.
despite giving up some extra picks, he's stock piled our prospects pool like we've never seen before. Grandlund Baertchi trades are awesome, Dhalen, Goldobin trades were good trades, Pouliout trade.. well..... what can I say, he's playing for us, he's been scratched despite that, when he does play its around 19 minutes per game, he has more games played for us then Pedan with Pittsburgh a minor win for Vancouver, regardless its a 'win' by virtue of how many games is played for the team.
overall I am glad they extended Benning. Wether people think it's a bad trade or not, none of them has came back and bit them in the butt or anything, the only trade I can think of is Forsling could have been a serviceable dman for us.
good move. quite happy he's sticking around for a few more years at least.
