Benning asked why he only got a 3rd. "It is what is", "Harder to deal in the west, figuring it out"

Give Treliving & Chiarelli a call Jim!

That's a stupid statement, sorry but it is. The Flames and Oilers and been losing for years while piling up prospects and picks to make those kinds of moves. You can't compete with what they have when you're winning and going to the finals.

Isn't that the truth.

Hockey was fun to watch again last year, you even said so yourself.

That's the first time since 1968 that a team has had three consecutive picks in the first round. You act like it happens every year? Canucks have had five 1st rounders in the past three years. How many has Boston had?

Edit: they've had four...so we've had more picks than them.

Are you high? you need to stop smoking that moose Sh!t.

I was on here less than two weeks ago reminding everyone that Baerschi Vey and Clendenning were our picks already and I a very happy with that.

You are a total nut job man. you take every single word that people type as bible.

I wasnt here two weeks ago to see you contradict yourself,,, sorry. Today you say we got nothing out of the 2nd... how was I supposed to know you were saying something different two weeks ago and changed your mind since then.

I'm just saying if you are going to do a rebuild pick the best draft in 10 years and load up, which is what they did.

I like our position better.

I'm not going to slander Benning just yet because he's still somewhat getting his feet wet. But I'm not impressed.

Back to tinting these fifteen gallons of paint.

If it wasn't for the drafting we had last year, I would be really disappointed.

I get off this afternoon for days off I will have a decent breakdown post later.

Too bad their picks were horrible.

Vantel, I have a life outside of the internet.

I would show people "you when you are not on HB" but the truth is, thats only when you sleep. Maybe you need a life outside of HB and you wouldnt be so disappointed that all these rumors turn out to be BS and don't amount to a 1 year rebuild...

I'm satisfied with his utilization of his 1st, 2nd and two 3rds. After that... I admit, I don't know enough about the players.

going out right now

In one year Benning got us happier and younger.

A vet goalie to watch over markstrom as he becomes a monster

A top 6 winger in sven with skill
A potential top 4 with pp qb ability in clendening
Another top 6 in Virtanen
Another top 6 in McCann
Yet another potential top six with size in Boeser
A great young 3rd line center in Bonino he's not a 2nd he's a 3rd with a salary of 1.9 for 3 more ears great trade.
Got dorsett who is a beauty 3rd 4th line leader

Moved out a back up goalie for a few picks meh
We will see what Vey becomes meh

Missed on Garrison big time
Sbisa was and is terrible should have tried to trade him not extend him
Needs to move bieksa and higgy for picks still may happen

All in all Benning is doing a fantastic job.

I'm disappointed with the lack of player movement but not blaming the GM. If there were decent trades he would have made them. If people want players dumped, we can do that later. Today was not the final roster day... we can trade waive and bury players when the time comes. You can also go over the cap for the next couple of moths as well. People are treating the draft like October.

I know - pick a side and support it. The team is about to suck...deal with it.

You and booner are preaching a slow and steady rebuild. Which is understandable. Others, including myself, Re preaching a much faster approach. Both approaches have the same conclusion. Just different timelines. Not sure why this topic is so controversial. Both have been shown to work if managed properly.

This team is tearing us apart!!!
