Benning was a complete mongoloid with some of the moves he made.He was 40 % on top 10 picks. Not good enough. Look at the Jets top picks for a 5 plus year period. They have the spine of a good team for years to come.

The trades I can deal with for the most part. Sure Forsling blossomed elsewhere. Shit happens. Good draft prick. Terrible pro scouting regarding Adam Clendenning. Trading for Keith Ballard and David Booth were shitty moves because these guys sucked cap space. Not Air Thief bad.... but bad. All managers make dumb moves.

The huge problem I had with Elmo is the fact that he was a coward dealing with the media and as a manager could not lead. He was Lennie Small. The Covid fiasco, the Virtanen debacle. He hid like a coward and got Miller and Green to take the heat.

The Juolevi pick though is INEXCUSABLE. ANY scout that recommended that player to be drafted 5th overall in 2016 should be sorting clothes at Value Village

He was an obese dumb cunt. Should have topped out as a scout. Whoever though FF he was GM material is as stupid as he was. Frankie A. I think Trevor is smarter than that.

As soon as Trevor was signed word was on the street he was going after Benning. He spoke to Can Neely directly to get permission to speak to Benning and Neely sold high on him. It was a linden decision.
The only HW the Canucks need
