What does having a book and respecting someone's opinion have to do with one another?

My book used to settle week long arguments.

Absolutely nothing, other than to see how long it would take for you to bite.

So glad Canucks have Benning then.

Tanking has never brought instant success, but it will bring success at some point, to what degree depends 100% on management.

Better success if there is a much more elite player in the draft. Last couple drafts have been a bit weaker for instant success.

Olli, boner, lind and hoagie, the 4 I will be watching. Olli and hoagie have the best chance of cracking the lineup out of the 4.

Texting with Swedish coach Tomas Monten on #Canucks pick Arvid Costmar being named 1 of Sweden’s best players - “Think he battled hard for us. He won faceoffs and worked his line good. Play both PK and PP. Came to play every single night.”

There were quite of few that wanted other players actually. I was one of them but glad to be wrong. Glass was probably the player most wanted when the Canucks time came to pick. Very few actually wanted Petey. 2 or 3 people tops but as usual, a couple of years pass and magically the number of people who wanted Petey grows 10 fold.

That being said, I don't really remember much talk about Petey not translating to an NHL player. It was simply a case of desiring a different player. There were concerns about his thin frame etc(not me) but as far as skill goes, what was there to argue about? He was a dominant player against men in his draft +1 season. MVP regular and playoffs. Scoring leader... world class unicycling juggling score at will highlight reel. Confidence to spare... Early in his draft +1 season, I knew JB made the right choice...

MANY in here wanted Glass including myself good to be wrong.

But hey that's why Benning is the GM and the 'geniuses' in here aren't...

Rasmussen before. The WHL tends to be disappointing drafting players high.

When the Twins had dinner with Petey the writing was on the wall.
