Knowing Jim Benning, he’s gonna trade it for a penalty killing 3rd C

Lots to complain about in regards to Benning, his history of trading away any 1st round picks isnt one of them. It got them:
JT Miller
Conor Garland
The value is there but was the risk worth it? This team is not trending in the right direction and there's no more youth in the pipeline to give us any further hope. We're already missing our 2nd this year and Lord knows what happens with our 1st while Benning digs in further.
This franchise is a mess and trading away 1sts is not working out. Just because the value is acceptable doesn't mean it was a good trade.
The only acceptable move would be for a top 4 right d man.Knowing Jim Benning, he’s gonna trade it for a penalty killing 3rd C

True, the other 24 picks he’s dealt have hurt though.Lots to complain about in regards to Benning, his history of trading away any 1st round picks isnt one of them. It got them:

Imagine if he actually trades the pick that ends up becoming Wright
Would you rather he trade the pick for another Miller/Garland/etc. or draft another Juolevi/Virtanen?

Rasmuss Anderson says hello
You just made a very reasonable argument as to why you don’t deal picks… who knows who you may have gotten with the pick.Canucks didnt deal Anderson they dealt the pick. who knows if Anderson was even in their radar.
Why pick Anderson? Might as well say the Canucks traded Kaprizov, Cirelli, Garland etc since all those guys were available with that pick.

Certainly of the 25 picks Benning has delay in 8 years 8-10 of those players would be nhl players and maybe 3-5 high end players….
Build through the draft, every good team in the nhl does it.

Our prospect pool is one of the worst in the league, the point is we could have had an Anderson instead of the nothing we have now, even the Miller trade, if we continue to be a pile of garbage, he is gone next season and we traded away a player who could be on an ELC and contributing well after he goes. This is the problem, quick fixes don't work in the long run, even if we win in the (kind of) short term, you don't do these things if your not a contender.
i dont care about prospect pools when our roster is filled with u25 players we can build around for the next decade. prospects are magic beans. Then you also have guys like Hoglander and Podkolzin who are 20 yrs old
We also have promising player in the system
