So 21 bad GMs that haven't won the cup. Benning is in good company.

I don’t buy into the if you don’t win the cup you should be fired crowd. In fact, I think Owners (or Presidents) fire GMs too often, same for GM’s with coaches.

But Benning has definitely been one of the worst in a group of bad GM’s over the past 7 years. He’s spent so much bad money, from an owners perspective, I can’t believe he still has a job.

Most rebuilds take 12-15 years, so we are ahead of schedule

I think most of it has to do with the 4 year contracts owners hands out to coaches and to GM's normally. GM and coaches are also on pretty much year to year basis.

I will say I am surprised he is still here too.

I will also point out that in his time of GM multiple GMs have been fired. So singling him out as one of the worst?

Next I don't think there is a lot out there that hasn't been refurbished . The fact that Francesco is now growing his own product (management) I think this is a big step.

Took Bergevin 9 years. 2 more years for Benning.

Unique set of circumstances with an equally as bad owner being his boss.
