Vey was a minor hiccup.
Kassian cost only Hodgson. No loss there.
EG & Sutter were not bad deals overall.
All & all most GM's have done worse during their tenures.
Now that is not to say JB is a magician but he is under the gun now.

Lefty thought there was a long list of bad.

HE played for the Canucks before you were born.

So he is in the bar looking to get laid.
A: testosterone lol

He openly blabs to anyone he is a lock.
A: confidence not a guarantee from anyone eg JB

Fit or not he won't be on the roster unless its earned IMO.
Be shocked if he were not in shape & throws away his career.
He cannot be that dumb or could he be?
- Nighthawk

He's from Abbotsford

Apocalypse Now is one of the best movies ever made.

I disagree, there are plenty of movies better. This was a curse movie that almost took Martin Sheen from us.

U said a GM that can actually make a trade & i think he does fine.
Called u out on how we could've done much better is all.

You might as well just give up, Benning should have traded whatever to draft Matthews, Miller should have been traded straight across for Murray, Sedins should be kicked to the curb and Crosby brought in as a replacement, Tanev should be traded for Karlsson, Tryamkin should have been given 30 minutes a night and then tucked into bed because he might get his feelings hurt.

Oh and Benning is also responsible for Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord, Nashville loosing to Pittsburgh.

What did Trump ever do to you?

then Jake thought it was for him and ate it all

Nah I was just trying to defend JB a little, Willie wasn't a great NHL coach, especially with the young guys.

At the end of the day JB hired that clown, so who's the fool I suppose.
- Crazybagoham

My impression is that willie was lindens hire. He knew him and pushed for him.

Any movie.....the original Rambo

I don't think you grasp how much work is involved in being a GM , they aren't just pretty faces
- VANTEL

thats also why he has assistants too. For things like that.

I would also think that long ago there would be an established set of Rinks, gyms and food services for any city they enter. It also all likely set up by jbs assistants once the teams schedule is set just before the season. THat way each facility has this information well in advance
