It’s smart of you to dodge my question. You know Benning had fuck all to do with Boston’s success

Benning was not hired until mid summer of 2006. Do you think he was pulling strings while he was still employed by Buffalo?

For the record I like some of the work he’s done here.

But all of the core on that 2011 team preceded him. That shit is all black and white and easy to research. The drafting was poor while he was there. It’s been pretty good since. I’m not sure if he was heavily involved on the pro side of things or the amateur. Either way the core was brought in by Gorton and Chia. And the new emerging core is all Don Sweeney and Scott Bradley.

“They were Gillis players cause Gillis re-signed them” - Blob

even though they were brought in by other GM’s like he says regarding Benning in Boston

Did he keep key core players that were already there before he arrived in 2006, like Gillis? That seems to matter to you when it comes to giving credit where credit is due “but he re-signed the Sedins etc, etc, etc”

Benning.was hired in the summer of 2006 by Boston, as you said. They didn’t win the cup until 5 years later in the summer of 2011. A lot of changes can happen in an organization in 5 years, no? Like re-signing players? Like you say about Gillis?

Proved my point. Thank you. You can’t answer the question because you hate the answer

“But Gillis re-signed players that were here before him” - Blob

Apparently that means a lot to Blob. But it doesn’t count for Benning. 5 years in Boston before they won the cup in 2011. 5 years. Means nothing apparently. “but Gillis re-signed them”

Hired by the Boston Bruins in 2006 before winning the cup in 2011. I guess the assistant GM Benning did sweet FA in those 5 years. They just liked having him around for 5 years of shits and giggles

Meanwhile Gillis gets a mulligan for re-signing players that were there prior to him and didn’t win a cup
