I don’t get why people want to take an elite player at one position and turn them into an average player at a different one.

Benning is on record saying lots of things and stuff and good for our club and we have a foundational player in Sutter. Didn't he say we could turn the team around quick. He has the worst winning pct of probably almost every gm we've had in the modern era. I've been through some dark days as a fan but holy crap this team lacks direction from the top down.

Rangers are smart making changes before exit meetings with players.

It looks like another summer of players/personnel being left in the dark.

It's fine to be secretive with the press, however you need to be transparent with your staff. I don't believe the Canucks are doing this because they don't have the foresight.

I wonder if GM’s around the league will look at this situation and decide to hire Green thinking Benning is an idiot and if he had iced a better team Green would have been successful, or if they will say playoff Bubble, the team is solid, Green failed as a coach?

I think they'll call JB and ask for Loui 1st then tell JB they'll settle on Bo in a deal. JB will think he won cause it wasn't the first ask and he was negotiating. Genius Lloyd sheer genius!

NYR received permission to speak to Gallant. A good example not to have your coach be a lame duck as long as Green.
- VanHockeyGuy

Should have fired Green last season after the team made it into the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Imagine if a story leaked now where Benning had been given permission to speak with Gallant - while Green is still coaching...

That would be just one more tire on the fire or if the dumpster is allready full another dumpster. Yes it's a ture fire in a dumpster

It's commonplace to grasp at straws and come up with goofy scenarios when the club is struggling. I never understood the call to make Miller a C either. Play him to his strengths. But this rallying Cry for Bo-Miller-Petey down the middle for 3 line 'depth' never made any sense.

The team will be much better next season with the addition of Podkolzin and McTavish, up front and Jake McCabe and Ryan Murray on defense, along with the return of Elias, for half a season.

You must be so proud of your team. Nothing says success more than winning meaningless games.
