I said near the end of January that the next 20 games we needed to win at least 12 out of the next 20 and we have lost what 9 out of 12 so far? We are not making the playoffs. The dream/prediction I had at the beginning of the season isn't dead yet but its close.

You’re like the black knight with no arms and no legs. You should have let Arthur pass when he asked you.

You can take it to the bank JP Barry broke Benning's balls getting Dahlen traded.

Benning did not want to piss of Karlssons agent

My favorite Benning add on to his pressers......

JP Barry did the Canucks a favour.

that's what they're saying

People wanted a high draft pick . They wanted Jack Hughes. Benning provided them the best D to reach that hope.

If we get jack Hughes I'll consider this season a success.

that was gold lol

That wasn't the question. They've drafted top 10 3 out 5 multiple times and managed to get 1-2 good players from those years.

Name more then two good players that they've drafted within 5 years in the first round.

Man, that D

I don't understand, but my post wasn't very clear either perhaps. I'm saying that they've gotten 1-2 good players players a couple times when drafting top 10 3 out of 5 years.

Examples would be Ladd/Staal, Skinner/Lindholm, Lindholm/Hanifin, Hanifin Svech.

My point being, most teams which draft in the top 10 for multiple years in a row are going to get a couple good players, so claiming Benning is good because Petey and Boeser doesn't hold weight with me. Now if 2 of Hughes, JV and Joulevi turn into impact players as well, I think it's fair to say Jim has been better than most teams.

1-0 would be a treat no? How many rounds into the shootout before someone finally scores...

Remember when people said Dahlin was overrated, kid looks golden for an 18 year old defenseman.

I've said it before. It's nice to find the later round gems but if you don't hit at the top of the draft then it doesn't really matter.

I don't get the "plan", why rotate between top pair and pressbox? It's not as bad as mccann and JV's development plans but still seems erratic. By now they should either cut him loose or let him play IMO.

I hope they plant Eriksson in the pressbox, it will be a good message to send to the vets.
