I don't care about feelings or shell shock or the best experience ever, it was piss poor planning by management. Benning got f*cking schooled by Chuck Fletcher.

They were caught with there pants around their knees .

A 7th rounder in 2020 lol

Thank God it's the 2020 pick can you imagine the heat Benning would take if he moved another of his acquired picks.

Really though? They traded Nilsson for. 6th in 2019 and sent a 7th in 2020 for a goalie that costs $2mill less. So saved $ and upgraded picks. Poor little Mikey had to play a game against the mean sharks. What am I missing? Seems like a win

It was piss poor managing. I just don't mind that the kid played.

That was a stupid, amateurish plan.
- Marwood

This is the only thing that matters.

If this was their "grand plan" for making it through the season and playoffs I guess any of us really could be an NHL executive.

My biggest regret was that it wasn’t a 2019 pick. Would have been pretty epic in here and on Twitter

No wonder you fight with everyone on here.

It could be the ANA pick from the MDZ trad.

You may think I am defending Benning but I am really not. To me this falls into the category Sh1t happens. They have already 4 NHL goalies signed and all three have fallen . I am not sure how many of the 50 available contracts they should spend on a goalie.

Now they are at 5 and if he gets injured tomorrow we will then need a sixth

This blog is (frank)ed up, people overeacting or just being dumb.

I will tell you Mini . You will say in one post I think I know everything and in your next post you will say Benning screwed up and should have selected this guy instead and then post 50 different prospects that you would have taken instead while boring us to death.

I may be the number one know it all but bud you are a very close second.
- VANTEL

What does my opinion have to do with you telling everyone everything? I don't tell Benning he needs to draft a certain player or he is wrong. I have players I would like to see drafted. Not really different Cam Robinson but I don't publish my list online.

I just looked it upon CapFriendly

Canucks are now at 47 Contracts and 5 of those Contracts are goalies .

I read on Canucks Army that Canucks have their eye on 2 college Dmen UFAs year . I am not sure if this will affect the contract situation but if it does we will be at 49

One contract is already allocated for Hughes. That being said, we need at least three more goalies to be safe

That pick could be lower then Van's the way Ana is trending.

Did you hear what Auld said today to clarify why DiPietro played last night?

I did hear him and I posted it so those that missed it could have an understanding of what occurred no different than posting the Comets scores for those who were not following. Much like on here I see you now trying to take over that also

Mazanec, keep up vintsy.
- belcherbd

No, he's the 5th, I'm wondering who the 4th is.

Yes & yup.
- Marwood

The kid seems really extrinsically motivated.

It still counts as part of the 50 contracts even if injured
Marky
Demko
Bachman
DiPietro
Mazenek

Is it to early to say we missed the playoffs because of injuries?

No, he's the 5th, I'm wondering who the 4th is.
