Awwww...you ok Ernie

Jimbo doesn’t get his share of the credit. Usually all too often judged on looks & speech. A vain approach to judge him blinded to what has been done & what is to come.

Like I said before many on here will owe him a glorified apology in a few years.

Is what it is.

My question is why promote him, why not promote someone else if there is a need to promote someone. What is so special about being part of a group/team that you want to single out Brackett.

Leave things as is, Brackett has been part of the scouting group for 12 years and was recently promoted about 3 years ago.

I understand your point, and agree that there’s a lot of Benning hate & Brackett love... but to play the flip side could it not be that Benning thinks he’s doing an excellent job, sees him growing the past 3 years, think he is a fit for a higher job and wants to reward him?

I honestly have no idea how much one person does more than the other in the Canucks management — don’t think anyone here truly does — but Brackett has gotten a lot more face time and media responsibility the past couple of seasons.

Pod with another goal. Good for him.

I realize that the week break here is long with no games to discuss, and I also know that there is a lot of harmless banter between posters that has been going on for a few years now.

But I would appreciate if everyone could still be respectful of fellow posters and keep the jabs in a loving respectful manner.

Thanks

I agree with your overall statement, I was interpreting the posts that Brackett needs to be promoted because he is the real drafting genius.

If the internal management committee has identified Brackett as deserving of promotion then absolutely, that's their decision.

For fans to inaccurately state that Brackett is the sole individual responsible for pick acquisitions, and that Benning is an idiot so Brackett should be promoted, is where I was stating my thoughts.

Some thoughts on Podkolzin and the development of young Russians in the KHL, in the new blog:
