Sven Baertschi
Then Elms drafted the wrong London Knight.
Handed them Tanev and Marky after that. He’s done more to build the Flames than Brad Treliving has.

Maybe we can send them Benning next and he can reciprocate from across the fence

Hoping he trades Petey to the Flames nextVin Tanner wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 11:46 amFlames fans probably want Benning here for the next decade.

Green can't seem to get this young, talented group going and Benning has made some pretty bad decisions in both drafting and trades (most of the memorable ones to the benefit my Flames).

Voted the obvious and what should have been done last season, to replace the coaching and management staff, anything involving ownership is a wasted vote. I don't think Benning is clear to even make minor transactions at this point.

Re: What are the two most important future moves?
The coaching change is an obvious one.
I was torn on the GM vs POHO. Went with the POHO because that guy could replace the GM if that's what is necessary.....so it's kinda like picking 3 options for the price of 2.

Nah I don't think you do. He's young and way too talented not to turn it around at some point.

Re: What are the two most important future moves?
If Benning and Aquaman choose the POHO, then Benning will get a whole new rope. It might take him a long time to hang himself. I’ve always liked Benning’s drafting, and thought he wasn’t given a fair shake by the Gillis sycophants from day one, but the moves since signing Pearson have been baffling to me, so I chose GM over POHOs, but I’d like to see both jobs filed with new people. They need someone with a better eye to make the right signings and trades at the NHL level, no matter how good the prospects he drafts are.

Re: What are the two most important future moves?
I'm OK with Benning having some Rope if it keeps him around for drafting talent.....mostly because that rope will be held by the new PoHO.Cherry Picker wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 4:30 pmIf Benning and Aquaman choose the POHO, then Benning will get a whole new rope.

I have also reached the point where I think it's time for change at both positions. As I said, it was the only way to land 2 for the price of 3.
