Nobody is hung up on anything, you just seem to be confused as to the meaning of the word.

Now that you've googled it, i'm sure you understand what JB meant by it as well.

To be honest I don't think Benning knows what foundational means or he's just saying that to cover his own ass.

And scraps don't forget scraps.

Well aren't those things you mentioned about hockey?

If that's what you interpreted my post, then I didn't articulate very well, I was sarcastically mentioning them.

But if you can't beat them then you might as well join them...

Generational=franchise=foundational=guys you build the team around.

so we're building this team around Sutter?????????????

If you were to ask Carol, I don't think she would say any of the above, it should be about hockey.

Look at page 9, how much of hat page was about food?

I guess he could be using words he's heard others use.

On top of him, he's the foundation of course.

We need a sarcastic font.

Rank in order from top to bottom:


Foundational player
Core player
Franchise player
Role player

Add in any other term known to describe a players importance on a team.

I think you made your point here. Golfing sees Sutter below role player and just above plug by his description. This is why he calls himself a realist. Canuck players suck and only reason this team sucks. That's his post point every time.

And scraps don't forget scraps.
- A_SteamingLombardi

The all important scraps, Marwood is drooling.

well at least thats better then the next 2 pgs of a dictionary definition

foundational not found in the Dictionary- according to websters

On top of him, he's the foundation of course.

sorry! I've been corrected again, I'm so (frank)ing confused. This team sucks so bad we are arguing over words.

True

You should try his scraps pie.

Everything flies right over your head.

He's also one of our many 20 goal scorers to never score 20 goals.

The usual BS about the Leafs between periods in a Canucks/Oilers tilt.
Let Ontario become the 51st state & be done with them.
Kyprios is a butt muchin sycophant

A polite way of not calling him a franchise or core player 😂😂👍

poor Sutter

As I said earlier, IMO the only foundational piece this team has at this point is Bo.

Were all hoping BB, Tree and OJ are those types, but it's yet to be determined.
