Lol... Montreal is in way worst shape then us.
MB traded an in prime perennial Norris candidate for a great defensemen (5years to late), rewarded the teams top defensive prospect for a soft French winger, etc... etc... plus prices contract

You're talking about two of the worst GM's in the league, like finding two of the ugliest women in the world and debating who's uglier?

Andrew Shaw's contract is up there for me as well. I think the legacy of his tenure is wasting away the years they had while players were on good contracts

He can erase most of his mistakes with a good year.

Nothing but love 24/7



I don't know if it the hair , the expressions , or the Armani suits but that looks like someone I try to not sit beside on the Skytrain.

I would think he smells of mothballs

It was pretty difficult. I had to make the trades before the season started so the value wasn't so high on the picks. That also meant simulating the year with a team worse than most AHL rosters. They got 8 wins.

I forgot about shaw.

Next year if price bounces back they could be good again, for the year. But they are going to go down fast as their long term contracts get older, they're like Chicago without the cups.

I've been scouring over contracts all day, not busy at work, I'd like to get Cal Foote from Tampa for taking on the Ryan Callaghan contract.

This armchair GM'ing is hard work

I'm just going to be pointing out that you originally excluded MB from the worst 3 gms list. And now you're calling him one of the two worst GMs?

You're as confused in regards to GM hate as the Canucks are confused in regards to whether or not they're rebuilding.

Therefore your opinion isn't as valid as it once was. You're Don to me....

Bergevin is bottom five for sure, imo he's not as bad as Benning though.

Tallon admitted that he didn't offer MB the package of picks for him. Instead he offered him him some spit, or to take it dry.
SJ wasn't as well endowed so he took their offer.

He won't do that, Eriksson will get PK time and a bottom six role with Sutter. They need some vets still.

What’s the point of having a bunch of Vets who all suck and have to play together, because you know, they suck?

MB us worse than Benning by a lot. JB took a trash roster and started building a future. MB took a good roster and turned it to trash.

I bet MB is going to really change the look of that team this year and people will be shocked . You said it yourself 5 picks in the first 60 .

So confused...

So..MB isn't as bad as Benning, but you earlier stated that he's a bottom two GM.

So ..... Both Benning and MB are worst Gms then snow, Chia, Dorion, Tallon?

I respectfully disagree that they are worst then all the above, or that Benning is the worst gm in the nhl.

Well it gives the kids time to develop properly in a developmental league, for one thing. JUolevi should go to Utica. So should Dahlen and Pettersson IMO. Gaudette i like on the Canucks, if he has a good camp go for it. We shouldn't be in a hurry to crush these kids confidence a la JV, Hutton or McCann
