you’ve been there and have done that. You should really think about a new shtick, embrace Benning, embrace the decisions, embrace the path the team is taking, good and bad. You could change your username to LeftNuckerCoaster.

Dahlen has great potential, I'll give Benning a thumbs up there. Goldobin, really, wasted the two seconds from Bieksa & Garrison and got us an AHL dman from Lack....yay.

Dahlen was a great trade. Brisebois is in his first pro year. ANA pick was used to upgrade from Bonino to Sutter and he got back a 3rd which is now a solid prospect(Lockwood)

For all the poor asset management we've seen from Benning, one more second round pick would/could go such a long ways this June to further improving the club.

Is that too much to ask?

Who's writing him off, I'm just saying he hasn't helped the team yet. Projecting I'd say he's at best a depth dman. Hopefully wrong but I don't think so. I wouldn't be hanging my hat on that one that's for sure. An ok depth move.

Should've stuck with Boner and drafted Taylor Raddysh, but no, Yzerman took him

Your golden boy Yzerman also traded a 2nd for Garrison who was washed up. And signed Callahan to a ridiculous contract. Also drafted Drouin over Seth Jones. No GM is perfect.

Yzerman also drafted Brett Connolly 6th overall over guys like Skinner, Mikael Granlund, and Cam Fowler. And he let Marchessault walk as a UFA.

Lefty conveniently ignores the bad of other GM’s and does the opposite with Benning.

True....but that doesn't mean you shouldn't always demand and expect the best

I don't think there's been a GM in NHL history who's walked away with a perfect record, being just ok at your job isn't what fans should be happy with though.

At the end of the day the Canucks will get to where they want to go, they just perhaps could've got there faster.

Well it's been fun bashing Benning again, never gets old, but it's lunch time and I heard they're serving hotdogs

Carolina has a lot of cap space this year. Will have lots of cap space next season. LE will be really good with them I bet.

Utica playing Syracuse tonight.

Hopefully Johnston is scouting for Benning. Lots of players to watch.
