He's not afraid to approach players, but he's not going to bully anyone into waiving. Very few GM's would do that to a long serving veteran player.

True but Edler is not his signing either.
Q is loyalty to a veteran or the team comes 1st?
I see it is a 50/50 situation

You have already thought Gillis and Bennings trades were for peanuts almost always

Were they salted though?

We'll see how it plays out, I'll bet on Benning respectfully approaching Edler about it and leaving it up to him.

Is next year, year three?

You wish, we haven't hit year 1 yet.

I would agree.....I think Eddie gets a bad rap but I think a new address might do him some good.

dude now your a psychologist ?

This year was an accidental tank again(Eriksson signing makes no sense otherwise), but they did finally give up at the TDL, so i'll say it counts as a half.

Next year is 1.5

Benning brought in Sutter(who's 28) to grow as a vet with the future core, I think he thinks the same about Tanev(who's 27).

I think he'll consider approaching Edler, but who knows if Edler will say yes.

Another very important issue is Who will be running this gong show ? Lefty is not the only person to call Benning an idiot. The last time the fans were that unhappy FA fired the coach and GM

Juolevi is a pretty sweet building block imo.

No, it started Feb 27th 2017 so when the season starts next year we'll be in month 8

I have a feeling my coconut trees that are 6 years away from producing will be producing before the Canucks.

Learn to take a joke.

Seriously, people act like this team wouldn't suck without these "man games lost"

It's such a misleading number.
- Nucker101

try to make changes on a game to game basis at this level and this is what you get, they were in a lot of games early in the year, injuries and the schedule caught up to them. I looked at the schedule at the beginning of the year and compared to other teams and it wasn't even close, I knew they wouldn't survive. I was hoping.

I don't think Benning is going anywhere unless Linden goes too. He'll get a new coach at least.

As much as I don't really think anyone has done a bang on job, stability at the top has some value.

Back to back 6 month bans from Ek and two kids under 2 years old. It's been a journey, but of all the seasons to be serving a ban for, the 2016-2017 seems like a good one to have done it.

I'm pretty sure Nucker called Benning an idiot before anyone else did and that's why he was shamed out of here.
