You read the same stories I did.

So JB isn't much different then a lot of other GM's

Maybe it was more of a plan then "learning". No one really knows. A lot of GM's with the same issues around the league then.

I've admittedly said Benning is learning to be a better GM, much like Sakic his signings after Eriksson have been better and he's stopped trading away 2nd round picks.

I still don't like him though

I admit that JB's record isn't perfect.

Hoping that Van could still land a top 5 pick this season. I don't feel the need for ANY D in the draft though. It's Dahlin or Boqvist in the top 5 or i'm looking at a forward. If Van was able to pick up another 1st in the 14-20 range. Strongly looking at Jett Woo. He is close to NHL ready.

The money here is tax free USD, every year here is like working three at home, financially it's a no-brainer. It's not like I'm in a tropical resort though and it's hard on my wife, but we made this decision together and understand the end-game...which is retirement with comfort.

Yah. My buddy paid off his student loans quite quickly.

I actually interviewed with an oil company about 7 years ago to go work over in the middle east. 1 month on, 1 month off. 120,000 USD. Was supposed to go over with a friend but he back out, found out he was having a kid. I don't regret not getting the job. Met the wife 4 months later.

I make a more then comfortable income with the current job.

Bold... Chump change to you I hear.

You can't date your hot dogs. Well Nucker can but usually one can't.

Tanev won't be traded this year unless it is a really really good deal.

You can't talk about mentoring in one sentence and then trade Tanev in the next .

I would like to see our entire 4 th line changed.

At center Winnik Sceviour or Nolan

LW Hendricks D Grant or Archibald

RW Smith-Pelly Hansen Wingles or Drew Stafford.

All these players can be signed for a million. Three mil to fix your fourth line and it would hit and score.
