It's only the delusional and ignorant that can't recognize that Benning's failed through his tenure but has improved to the point where he actually made the team better this year.

So Benning has done this by dumb luck?

Who's delusional and ignorant.

So many moons ago this question was polled to NFL fans...

So who is the best & worst commentator?
Howard Cosell won both.

I’d say our fans are the Howard Cosell’s of hockey 😂😂

Forgot about Chicago and there missing playoffs 9 out 10 years.

Don't worry though after 5 out 6 years missing some Canucks fans just couldn't handle a rebuild and were seen jumping freely off bridges.

They water them.

Actually it's easier to grow them in drier places because they're less susceptible to fruit burst if they get too much water while the fruit is ripening.

My cherry tree is growing well but I transplanted it about 6 weeks ago. No fruit until next year.

lol. Smart ass.

Mine is about 3 years old, 8 feet tall, and produces a poopload of cherries. But then the animals pick it clean about 2 weeks before they are ripe. I should be swimming in cherries, but noooo. (frank)ing wildlife.

I think a few Canucks fans have just been following the narrative for so long, they will say anything to keep it going now. Could probably win the cup and some would still say Benning is a terrible GM.

Apple trees on the coast.

lol. So true.

The best is when they get to the apple a little too late and they start eating the fruit on the ground, which has started to ferment.

Everything likes getting bombed; birds, bears, racoons, and squirrels.

You dont think Edm has had a young core? How many times over the past 10 years have people predicted their dominance, your proving my point.

Dude gets little to no credit for Petterson, Boeser, Pearson, Baertschi, Leivo, Gaudette, Demko, Stecher, Madden and Woo but plenty of hate for Eriksson, Sutter, Gudbranson, Virtanen and Juolevi

It's hilarious.

No, I've been pretty clear he's done a good job recently....

Do you truly not recognize the correlation between bad teams and good prospects?

How often does the good young core on paper turn into a successful team?

It wasn't that long ago that Benning's fan boys were patting themselves on the back about Lind being the steal of the draft and that Cassels would be shutting down McDavid for the next decade.

Cassels wasn't JB, typical Gillis pick. Either an overage QMJHL'er or a slow dude.

Lind improved down the stretch for Utica, he just needed time too adjust. He'll be fine.

every time LE gets brought up, I'm gonna start listing off stats about EP non-stop.

If they never get tired of complaining about LE, I'm sure they'll never get tired of seeing EP's stat line and rookie records being thrown in their faces. Have it both ways

WTF are you talking about? All of the whiners (me included) have praise JB on his drafting. So he gets all the credit for EP, BB, and the rest.

But decent drafting doesn't exclude him from criticism for his brutal mistakes and what appears to be a lack of vision. Being good at spotting amateur talent doesn't make you a good GM.

Now, if you are just trolling then ignore the above.

Some of these things are not like the others....

Why aren't McCann, Etem, Miller, Vrbata, Trayamkin, Bonono, Vey on your list?

LE gets talked about daily in here, you're telling me that JB gets equal praise for his good moves as he does hate for his bad moves?


Please.

Etem cost nothing. McCann and Gudbrabnson is the same thing. Miller and Vrbata produced.

Tryamkin was a good 3rd round pick, better than most of Gillis' top picks, and he could be back next year. Bonino/Sutter is the same.

Vey, I'll give you that one, but then I'm adding Garrison for a 2nd to the positive list so it's a break even there.

So we agree, they all looked good, performed okay for a while and then didn't actually make a difference?
