You would trade him for a 6 or 7 and a month later you would laugh at Benning for only being able to get a 6 th or a 7 th. I have seen you do it.

Like when?

I’ve been begging Benning to sell anything he can for draft picks since the day he got here so I’m curious to know what moves you’re talking about.

Unlike Minivan I don't keep notes and records but you have been in many conversations with me even discussing that Benning is over his head( I agreed).

You haven't liked Bennings accomplishments mostly since he got here.

Benning in over his head has nothing to do with what you implied. You implied that I like some off his player for picks trades initially and then mock them later.

I can't think of a single player for pick trade that he's made that I've disliked. I was in the minority about liking the Lack deal. I praised the Garrison/Bieksa/Hansen/Burrows/MDZ deals.


It's when he acquires mentors and roster players instead of futures that I laugh at him and die a little more on the inside.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't recall any time Benning has traded a player for a pick 1-for-1 that I've not been okay with.

A couple of weeks ago you mocked Benning for amassing a bunch of 6 th round picks . No specific trade was mentioned just the over all result

When I posted that giant chart/picture of picks he's acquired/traded?


that's what you took from that?

That was frustration/mockery about the high/mid picks he has traded away, not the picks he's acquired


Come on dude, I know you think Jimbo is improving and deep down you feel bad for him(I kinda do too), but these false accusations are silly.

I rip him for A LOT of poop, but never for acquiring picks for players.

Any opinions on Rafferty's play, tonight?

You are wrong about my feeling for Benning I couldn't care less if he was fired but have a better replacement in mind. I see names like Krueger Gillis Lombardi and Holland floating around and I laugh at how people are sheep. Mention a name and even if they know nothing about them people are slurping it up.

I personally don't know who is better fit for the Canucks at this time but I don't want to start all over again. That is why I am not tossing out names .

Fair enough, but don't question my love for draft picks

Hes not exactly a spring chicken remember the Brandon powerhouses with him in charge .

you're the one clueless about "gay frogs" and the zeitgeist... you took something most people clued into the culture would know as a parody, as some kind of insult, and even when pointed out that its something non-homophobic, you keep acting like your panties are all twisted... lighten up....

maybe you should just stick to coming up with roster projections...

I really like why I have seen from Hughes he looks like he’s played in the league at times for years. He still makes some mistakes but very calm out there and a bit more physical and stronger than I thought

The refs were complete idiots tonight.

edit: The NHL refs I mean
- boonerbuck

They were just Canuck fans.

A lot of guys in here would have called the game the exact same way. Including me.

9th seed, pick 10th at draft.

Deal with it Byatches.

Which describes several posters here.....whining about everything at every turn ..even when they advocated for it.
