Stillman leads the Canucks with 5.26 goals against per 60 minutes. He has the worst expected goals per 60 out of all the defencemen and has been the worst defenceman at defending against high-danger shots against, allowing 14.61 high-danger shot attempts per 60 minutes.

I think what the fire Benning crowd wanted was stop making things worse.
- overpay for intangibles
- trade for Miller
- trade for Toffoli
- let UFA’s walk for nothing
- trade for Schmidt
- sign Holtby (and buy him out)
- trade for OEL/Garland

Basically, if Benning had just not done the thing he thought he should do they would be in a way better place. Allow those earlier ugly contracts to expire on their own, sign shorter term guys to hold the fort while you stockpile draft picks and prospects and invest in their development. Every time he made a mistake he made another one trying to correct it.

Having said that, things have continued since so…

The grass is greener right?

Always going to be different and better till it's not. Could do all the opposite and it not work as well which sucks.

I just watch till I can't anymore, rinse and repeat.

If Horvat îs traded and his worth is a 1lc as his agent says. Should Van fans expect a return near Eichel's?

Benning got Sbisa, a first, one year of Nick Bonino and a third.

So, I am guessing this new group will get Holl, Kerfoot, a first and a third.

I could see Horvat getting a 1st, a solid prospect and potentially a 2024 1st if he keeps playing the way he is. Sure he's a rental, but any serious team would rather pay more for a PPG center who is tops of the league on face offs than save on a 3rd liner.

I miss Dim Jim. With him you knew you were going to get hardcore mistakes with a cartoon voice interview to follow.

This new group brings refined ineptness. Well-dressed, sharp looking, well Grammar'd chaos.

When they have nice things, make sure to trash them.

I'd take anything at this point in time. Kidding.... sort of.

There is always a few good/decent 2nd rounders. Canucks haven't picked many of them though

They took the chance, picked a few, traded away a few and lost them all pretty much.

Get a better GM Professional and amateur scouting staff as well.

Welll if it’s any consolation, Rasmus Anderson was picked with Vancouvers 2nd rounder. Maybe Benning and his scouts weren’t the draft gurus Nucker claimed them to be.

Harman Dayal didn't like Rutherford's comments because Bruce is a very qualified coach but the roster construction (which is on management) is poor.

It all depends on what some consider to be nice things.

I think most people have just realized that this core isn't good enough to be a contender. Blame the coaches, role players, etc, but it won't matter.

Even if we get nice things, they all turn to Schmidt.
