Benning is a duche. How dare he traded a top prospect in Shink for a plug like Grunland?

I think you're flagging in the wrong thread.

I got the impression he didn't want to be here.

Kudos for willing to drop the gloves so often, but thought he was supposed to be a better player along the boards and battling for the puck. We saw some good play from him early and then it disappeared, maybe the injury had a lot to do with it.

More importantly, his wife didn't want him to be here.

Canuck fans over 30 have been through re-builds before and are patient, fans under 30 just hate on Benning because they don't know better.

Fans under 30 r swayed by media.
Fans over 30 arrive at their own opinion.

Totally son! I can tell the age of the posters pretty quickly....Phucker for example is 19, in case you weren't sure

I'm a little surprised that you have not yet ripped apart the 2016-17 projected lineup that John Shannon put up during last night's second intermission!

I've got that screenshot for you to take your knives to, as well as hard-working Tryamkin, injured Prust and an unlikely win against Arizona.

This!!!!

WTF I have seen 3 different reports "confirming"LOL that Tryamkin says he 6'6, 6'7 and 6'8. So what the f@ck is he?

+/- is as useless as tits on a bull. Hockey is a team sport. There is a 5 man unit on ice. And if you are getting a defensive zone start, then most likely you are up against other teams top line. Since most teams like to have their top guys get more offensive zone starts. If anything, you should be complaining about it would be his F/O %. If Bo wins more f/o then they get possession and clear the zone. Realistically if you put a career offensive guy without any defensive skills with another sophomore that is all offense as well and label them as your shutdown line then it is the same as putting lipstick on a pig.
WD is more at fault here then anyone else. If he wants Bo to be more defensively responsible then give him a more defensive winger. Bo with Burr and Varby/Bear is a lot different then Bo with Bear and Varby.
My point is to stop blindly taking stats as the holy grail and factor in some common sense.
I am not saying Bo is in the same category as Bergeron or Toews but both of those guys have atleast 1 more defensively minded player on their line at all times.

id say to everyone give the kid a break. He goes from OHL to NHL overnight and exceeds expectations. He's been thrown into roles he's probably not quite ready for like tough assignments against top NHL lines. He's what 20? Give him some time on 2nd line and his +/- will improve.
