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

[Strangelove]

I'm thinking he's spent time in a "facility" somehwere in the past involuntarily admitted. All signs point to mental health issues for sure.

Edgy...are you seeing Jim Benning in the room with you right now?

I would highly recommend he returns to said facility for some extra electroconvulsive therapy as soon as possible.

Fuckin hilarious



This must be the Edge he is referring to in his name.

Then I'll change my opinion accordingly (because my head is not always buried in the sand like you guys lol).

Wait... you just admitted that you have no idea of the big picture and that you're lacking in imagination

... and we have our heads buried in the sand?

I mean at least we speculate on what the big picture might be...

Benning hasn't shown he has been able to manage the cap very effectively to date.

He's done just fine so far.

Getting hit with the unexpected Luongo penalty (thanks Gillis!) and unexpected flat cap ($84M they said) has hurt a bit

... but nothing that can't be overcome.

He overpaid on some UFAs (rebuilding teams must overpay) as stop-gaps for the rebuild, but they're going away just in time.

(except for Loui... or is he?)

You think there's a chance that Loui will agree to terminate his deal when he's still owed something like $7-8 million? Hahahahaha.

In four days that number becomes $5M in theory... but more like $4M in reality (10% deferment, 20% escrow).

Loui has earned $60M in the NHL and has a chain of restaurants to run in Sweden

... and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to ride the buses in the A.

No one here has access to all of the facts. It's inherently speculation.

Exactly my point. You seem incapable of "speculation".

You act as though the tiny bit of the picture you have access to... is the entire picture.

Well you and the rest of the tardy kids back at the funny farm.

I had another post that addressed all of these points but you seemed to have deleted it. Can you bring it back? Otherwise this place seems pretty toxic in literally censoring a perfectly valid and respectful discussion on Benning, bizarre stuff.

Oh fuck off with comments like this. Coming from HF where the mods protect dimwits like you this is rich, the mods have made that place a fucking joke and fans from all over are laughing at posters like MS, 50 and several others.

If you had any balls you should tell us your handle at Hf, see we won’t ban you here because of what you post, but the mods there will ban us for what we post here. Does that sound logical?

Careful Fingers, there's a good chance the Edgy One is a dangerous psychopath.

This is why I've gone so easy on him/her.

Fingers is all middle fingers right now. Love it!

Fixed for accuracy.

Welp, it took 6 years, but Benning has done what no Tank team has done - won a playoff series.

Edmonton, Toronto, buffalo, Calgary.

He's done what no V-shaped rebuild has done without any draft lottery luck.

He's matched the Avs' progression from tanking for Mackinnon.

Was it a perfect rebuild? Nope.

But it was fast, relative to where they started - bad, old, slow, and almost no prospects in the pipeline after a solid decade of poor drafting.

For whatever credit Gillis gets, they've now done what Gillis's teams failed to do from 2012-2014: win a playoff series.

[Carl Yagro]

Amen, ESQ.

Other GMs are now looking at the JB model as to how to rebuild quickly. It's true. Not making this up.

Disbelievers can choke down your crow with your whine.

Genius
