Yeah just because there are two other reputable GMs that made worse deals in the same week doesn't make Bennings better.

I am trying to look at the bigger picture

Will he be an improvement?
Will he bring back a good return at the end of his contract?
Is he cost effecient?

Like I said I don't like the trade but I need to see it play out.

We have all said this way too many times. Hell we all said it his first move as GM.

Look at the Hayes deal . Fletcher and the Flyers gave up a first round pick and a young prospect drafted in the first round to pay Hayes 7 mil for 7 years. They helped Winnipeg with their cap issues and gave them a first.

Benning does something similar but a lesser extent and receives 3 times the flack.

I still need to see the final team this year and how much of an improvement .

I am coming around on the miller deal now, its not as bad as hb gm's make it out to be and I agree the summer isn't over yet. I told the blog posters will focus and female dog about what went out and not what came in and I was right.

It’s ok to be angry now AND angry later. No one will hold it against you.

That is the problem. If we were a playoff team looking to get the team over that threshold to make us go deep in the playoffs yeah you make this deal grudgingly at the deadline. What you don't do is what Benning did mortgaging the future to show off at the draft with the slim hope of making the playoffs.

The saddest part is he truly believes this is a smart play.

And now he and the team are laughed at by every other team in the NHL. The Canucks were the only team giving 1st round picks to help out capped teams. F*cking stupid. I knew this summer was going to be a train wreck.

HB GM = Canuck fan on HB


Blog posters = Canuck fans on HB


We’re all the same people, you’re in that group too.

It’s not about being right or wrong, we just want the team to win a cup at some point, the issue is that everyone has their own opinions on how to get there.

Good luck trying to sign UFA's when everyone in hockey recognizes your GM is completely incompetent and will never, ever build a winner.

He needs to be fired. For the love of god, please....

I still like the direction of the team.

conditional pick not picks, the pick wont matter for 5 to 7 years more than likely.

How do you know this?
Trading away 1st round picks when you are currently not a playoff team is so f*cking dumb.

They can still sign UFA's that only care about the money.

I will willing to bet that Rafferty or Woo will play RHD for Canucks before Myers does.

5 to 7 years still matter to me.
It was one of his worst trades and he's made some awful ones. Agents and other GM's are going to bend him over knowing he's nothing more than a beta pillow-biter.

I am trying to justify by thinking this was just a part of a larger trade to get Barrie and somehow it fell through or we are waiting for it to happen yet. I am trying to be positive but don't like it.

Things could change and he could get top minutes and thrive. He is good player I could see him getting 65 point potentially.
