The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)

[Cousin Strawberry]

... and now you suckle at his teet.

And the obvious motive: A G E N D A

You sold your soul for your anti-Benning agenda old pal.

With the electronic swipe of a cursor, everything you are arguing for can be flipped and aimed right back! Ha! Heroes and Villains everywhere...

There really is an alternate reality thinly divided from the one we exist in isnt there

Today's CC postings is for the ages - Blobby quoting Bitchford. Unfuckingbelievable

Again - Bubbles gone on record as calling McPhee a genius for his work in Vegas but has no response for McPhees recent ravings over Sbisa all the while McPhee waives he good buddy Garrison and Nuckles good buddy Griffin Reinhart

The post was about Vatanen who you only know by size. Seriously do you actually watch the games lol ?

Your thoughts on McPhees glee with Sbisa? What did your hero McPhee do with Garrison and Reinhart?

I get what you're saying Danny, I do

HE SOLD HIS SOUL

So RD,

Where do you expect the Canucks to be in the next 2-3 seasons.

[Chef Boi RD]

You back on the horse again, Raffles?

Lol he doesn’t even know what shithole dive bar he will shut down next week. Let’s see Cobalt, American, Savoy, Astoria, Patricia...., or maybe the Turf or the Dell

Up and coming amigo, a team to pay attention to

[Ronning's Ghost]

Chiarellis top 5

1. Trading Barzal and Beauvellier for Reinhart
2. Trading Hall for Larsson
3. Trading Eberle for Strome
4. Signing Russell to 4 years $4 milllion pet
5. Signing Lucic long term to massive bucks or drafting Puljiatvi 4th overall or not getting a legitimate no. 1 goalie?

Island Nucklehead is campaigning for the Oilers to be respected for the rebuild Chiarelli is doing.

As for is the case for Gillis (as explained above), a criticism of Benning is not an implication that Chiarelli would have done something better. Re-hashing Chiarelli moves is irrelevant, and worse, uninteresting.

That standard of comparison is not what Chiarelli would have done, but -- as chosen by his most fervent supporters -- what a genius would have done.

Looking forward to that Masterpiece (dynasty). What do you think remains to be done, and how many more seasons do you think it will take ?

Would you agree that the most important thing for this organization moving forward from the Gillis fiasco post 2011 is Drafting and Developing? With that in mind how well of a job do you think Jimbro Benning has done in that department?

My contribution to getting back on track, a drafting and development mid-term assessment, as requested:

We have seen 3 Benning draft picks play in the NHL: Virtanen, Tryamkin, and Boeser. I think it's premature to form an opinion on any others until they play at least 40 NHL games.

Virtanen, based on what we have seen so far, is disappointing for a sixth overall. He may still improve, but right now, we're looking at a C-/D+

Tryamkin looked very good, but doesn't play for the Canucks right now. So that's drafting B+, developing F.

Boeser was a 23th overall pick who is a Calder candidate. Pretty clear A for drafting, but since he entered the NHL out of college, someone else gets credit for the development.

That's a grade point average of about 2.1, or around a C.

The encouraging news is that he seems to be trending upwards. Benning advocates might reasonably hope that Pettersson and Lind will boost his average.

I answered your question, now please answer mine. What does the architect of the rebuild still have to add to create a masterpiece (by position and role), and how many more seasons will it take ?

Ronnings Goiter is poster of the year

[Chef Boi RD]

What he needs to add is an owner to remove the silver spoon from his twat and have the manhood to show his GM the confidence and patience for him to do his job properly, Rome wasn't built in a day, and in those days, mistakes will be made. Benning needs to just keep on hitting well at the draft like he's shown. I could give two shits about your Vanek and Eriksson place holders.
