Alex Edler will reach 900 games tonight, joining the Sedins and Trevor Linden as the only other players to achieve this for the Canucks

Take from Drance.

Not my money so I don't care, but if fans want to spend their money to read articles from a person who has no idea how run an NHL organization and has never played pro hockey then spend away.

Drance and Dayal are clueless writers and it does not surprise me one bit that sheeple follow their word as gospel.

I don't want JB to sign anyone, for obvious reasons

I'd be happy with a hockey trade, but not an overpayment. So that's unlikely as well.

I am going to disagree there. Benning walked in they had Bo for a prospect and Edler Tanev and a bunch of old unmovable guys.


Holland walked into Draisitl McDavid Nurse Kleffbom RNH .

Of course it will take more than one year he is just going to continue the process that Chaiarelli started. His goalie situation still stinks and his choice for third line center is just as bad as it ever was.

- VANTEL

Agree Benning walked into a much lesser situation. But Holland needs more than one year to right the ship in EDM was the point.

So you don't want him to sign anyone . You have no one in mind who to sign , but you are angry at him that he won't sign anyone.

He is basically just carrying on the job that Chiarelli did.

Gillis didn't leave a complete mess, this is such a crock of BS! He was mandated by the owner to be competitive but when he left, Jim Benning had a perfect opportunity to to start a rebuild, but again, they chose not to. That's not Mike Gillis's fault.

Jim Benning didn't really have any prospects because Gillis's drafting was so bad but he had 18 million dollars in cap space, with a 69 million dollar cap, he had a bunch of guys of value to trade like Ryan Kesler, Kevin Bieksa, Chris Higgins, Jannik Hansen, Jason Garrison, Alex Burrows and Dan Hamhuis.

The notion that Mike Gillis left a complete mess because he didn't draft well is complete bullshit.

Benning turned Kesler, Bieksa, Garrison, Hansen, Lack and Burrows into a 1st, two 2nds, three 3rds, two 7ths and two first round project drafted guys. They had a 100 point season Benning's first year, there was plenty of opportunity when Jim Benning arrived.

While the things that Gillis added for the cup run were fantastic (and prior)he did handcuff the club for almost a decade with 9-10 NTC's and arguably the worst drafting in club history. It was a bit of a mess lol...

Sure maybe FA brought in a GM that 'didnt want to rebuild' but doesn't chnage the fact Gillis left a bit of sh!t storm behind like most GMs do on their way out.

When did I say anything about wanting him to sign anyone in free agency?

His signings speak for themselves, why let him make more mistakes?

The fact that this idiot doesn't realize that Pearson needs to be signed or traded by TDL shows he should not be writing at all. EP and QH can wait until after because they are RFA. Pearson is UFA and if JB waits until after TDL to try and sign him, then doesn't he looks even more like a fool than he does already.


Basically Pearson is more important to try and sign before TDL in order to make a decision on him going forward.
