It's so hard to win it all, so many great teams don't win it, look at this year with Nashville (great team) Los Angeles Chicago St Louis....they're all so deep and talented.

When I look at those rosters and then look at the Canucks roster I just posted, my heart sinks because I realize how much work Benning has to do to make the roster a winning one.

LA - Kopitar, Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, Doughty, Muzzin, Lucic, Gaborik
Nashville - Forsberg, Johansen, Neal, Josi, Weber, Smith, Ellis
Chicago - Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Panarin, Anisimov, Hjalmarsson, Shaw, Teravainen
St. Louis - Tarasenko, Schwartz, Stastny, Steen, Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk, Backes, Brouwer, Fabbri, Bergland

How do you compete with that? And I didn't even include Anaheim or San Jose.

And some of those teams are going through future cap problems. They look awesome but I bet some of those players are gone soon. Especially in St Louis and Chicago.
