Benning never said Clark would get signed for sure

Did I state that?

MJ was absolutely the best defender.

My order of those 3 would be MJ, Kobe, Lebron.

Welcome to BasketBuzz!

Maybe Benning did?

“We’re going to get something worked out there,” Benning said confidently on Donnie & Dhali. “He is an important guy in our group and, like I’ve said before, he’s good at what he does. We’ll get that figured out.”

Sure, he doesn’t say “we will 100% get Ian signed to a new contract by next Tuesday”. But come on, he’s confident a deal will be done.

Now he and Travis are reviewing the assistant coaches. It could still happen.

Benning is to the Canucks as what Jar Jar Binks is to Star Wars: a bumbling idiot who sometimes gets things right (usually out of clumsiness and stupidity) and is more so a character that you'd rather not hear talk.

It isn’t, never said it was, learn to read.

oh your implications seemed to leave out the fact they were past development of jr. ... but too bad the age block prevented them to go to AHL.

Wait's for pushback from the Glee Club.

Federal govt approves cross border travel for NHL playoff.

Clearly they were under developed for the NHL. I don’t believe there was nothing to gain by returning to Junior.

like...bad habits dominating less physically developed CHL kids or slow less skilled over agers?

This is why new management structure is needed and JB can continue to fail upwards.

Is a 2nd round pick in this years draft enough for a team (Buffalo, Detroit, Kraken) to take Loui Eriksson?

He still has some value...He's a great finisher (empty nets only, including own net) and wonderful leader (sees the game well from the box) who can help out a young team (AHL only).

Honestly he is quite good in EN situations, helps close out wins, plus Green trusts him in those 1 goal close out situations

You’re right, the CHL is no place for anyone who’s been drafted by an NHL team.

Going back to junior after your draft or draft +1 year does not have any correlation with picking up "bad habits" from playing lesser competition. They set a draft eligible age for a reason, and the same goes with the CHL age group. Saying otherwise is silly.

Most media who deal with him face to face say that Jim's a good hockey man and a good person

what does a "good hockey man" even mean. What makes him a good hockey man. This saying is stupid.
