This is roughly the totality, cancelling out picks that he acquired/traded that were in the same round. And not including the AHL'ers traded(insert Lack, Larsen and Vey jokes here). Also removing players/picks he acquired and then traded again.

Hopefully someone else takes what good he's done a carries it forward.

That's how he rolls throw out misrepresentations and calls it truth lol. But hey like I said to Nucker the other day you will see now the ones who wanted the losses the most complain the loudest now.

Sedins are headed for 45 point seasons, that's actually not that bad...sorry Vantel

Vegas picking C William Karlsson was a huge win for them, where did this kid come from? Shows you what some young players can do with opportunities.

Another Anaheim pick

They will play one more season. Book it.

So I can complain about inept management but all the while getting what I want again

I really wonder why more of the rich teams/owners don't try and poach some of these scouts from teams like Anaheim/Nashville/Tampa/Winnipeg, etc.

I know they'd need permission, but you gotta imagine that tampering would be pretty easy since these guys all travel a lot.

If I was an owner/GM, I'd try to poach as many of their scouts as I could.

lol...actually for what they are being paid it's very bad.

Lol.

We beat Pittsburgh twice handly and looked fast but we had a full lineup.
- Bettmanhatesus

JV and Pouliot are the only faster additions right now to roster. But the team's style of game is different because of TG's system. Its the opposite of WD's and why their pace looks faster.

Sad but true.

The Canucks have to get something out of the twins retirement.

Lol.
- bloatedmosquito

it's not the losing that pisses me off, it's the inept moves that prolongs rebuilding that drives me nuts. That lies with both Aquilini and Benning.

We got a riot in 2011

There was tons, but he snorted it all.

I think it may have more to do on how the teams finishes. If this injury crisis kills the season, I would think the Sedins retire. Before Bo went down, I thought if the Canucks managed to get into a playoff spot, the Sedins would want to try another year.

Cap-space

For all the talk about the age gap, how many of the age gap guys that Benning acquired would actually be core players on playoff teams?

Sven? Is he a legit top 6 player on a playoff team? Granlund isn't even a top 6 player on a bottom feeder right now. Gudbranson might not even be a Canuck next year. Sutter isn't a top 6 player.

And by trading assets to cover the "age gap", he was talking away depth from the next "age gap".

It's these things that are annoying. Hopefully he's learning his lessons and looking back at his moves to adapt and adjust.

- LeftCoaster

Nowhere near as bad as you'd think. Henrik is ahead of Alex Wennberg and daniel is one spot behind Leon D.

What is the defence suppose to look like in four or five years? How is Benning addressing this? Pouliot was a nice addition and there's Juolevi, but where's the push from below beyond those kids? I don't see anything!
- LeftCoaster

edler = retired
tanev = ufa
everyone else including prospects other than OJ are 5,6 or 7 dmen

hopefully we can sign some college ufas and unload everything not tied between now and the deadline and draft a boat load of dmen this year and next if we have to

The point was, for their age, their production is not bad at all.

It may already be happening where BB the rookie is now being counted on to spark Gagner. JV now looked on to making Burmi & Goldy click. Both got significant time with Sedins. Well that's development for you lol.
