Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Hearing his name so much tonight moved me to reflect that in some ways, Gustav Forsling encapsulates Benning's tenure in Vancouver.
The Good:
Finding a guy in the 5th round (126th) who goes on to play top 4 defensive minutes on a playoff team is pretty darn good drafting. Genius ! Yay !
The Bad:
Trading said top 4 Dman for what ultimately turns into ~ 1/3 of Brandon Sutter is pretty dismal asset management. Awwww....

It sure took him a long time to reach his potential. What’s he on his fourth organization?
It was a bad trade. I’d like to know who the pro scout is that thought Adam Clendenning could skate at the NHL level.
There’s some funny posts in the first few pages of this thread. Topper’s constant praising ad defending of Luca Sbisa is hilarious

I hope for Jim’s sake he’s been going for Long relaxing walks on Cannon Beach Oregon where he lives enjoying the fruits of his labours, sipping fine craft brews downtown Portland, getting tattoos, reading paperback in coffee shops, has a booth at the farmers market hawking his crafts and hobbies, spinning vinyl, wearing red wings with skinny jeans and is sporting a zz top beard , the cat deserves itBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 9:52 pmDo you think a team will hire him as a GM?Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:52 pm I love this thread, I will miss the Genius but he still lives on
