Same but anyone they replace him with will be xerious step back in drafting unless they luck into one of the top contender builders...which are all employed right now. I was thinking Jimmy Rutherford but he proba ly doesnt want to come be a yes man
This is interesting, who in your mind are the top contender builders and what do they do that none of the others can pull out of their ass but once a decade?

I don’t want to give up on the drafting that Benning brings, but I agree that it sure feels like something is brewing.

If they punt Benning I defo do not want a retread. I want a proven winner.
Don Waddell, lou Lammorello maybe, McPhee, obviously Yzerman is the best of the best

Rutherford took that pens group to perennial contender status but if he doesnt have Crosby and Malkin i dont know if they win...he was adept and going for it and swinging big deals that landed key complimentary cogs for winning championships

If they move on from Benning i can only see Jimmy Rutherford being a winning option

No Waddell or Rutherford.

Think AGM for Colorado, Raleigh, Tampa, Washington, .... teams that have been successful and know how to manage a cap unlike Elmo

Bring back some guys with actual balls to ask some questions of this freak show of a management/ownership crew.

Neil Macrae, David Pratt, Tony Gallagher, JP McConnell, John Mckeachie, Kent Gilchrist would have put the boots to these clowns up and down.
sportsnet absolutely sucks shit at covering the NHL. Bring back Don Cherry. I heard part of his podcast, I was attracted to the headline he didn’t think the Leaves would win shit this year

See what happens when he isn’t muzzled ? He speaks truth to power

Leaves suck
I never thought for a second that you would be advocating the return of Don "You People!" Cherry.....

Had nothing to do with Doc. Just our own exchanges.

I didn’t recall anything you said about it at the time.

I don’t like sportsnet, I don’t like how the NHL gave them a monopoly. I hate monopolies that’s in a socialist’s wheelhouse.

I hate Bettman for the selling the tv rights to Canada directly to a leaves fan’s network.

I also hate Bettman for the salary cap and moving canadian franchises

Fuck that guy

You don't think the media asks the hard questions to get to the hard truths and yet you've decided management is a freak show?

Does that mean that you believe the anti Benning/ownership agenda some in the media are pushing or the National media who are reporting that there are very few leaks coming from inside the organization which has led most in the media to resort to guessing and speculation and as we have seen just making stuff up?

Why is it that we learn most breaking stories or get the most insight from the National media?

I think it tells us how poorly the organization and players view the local media, not to mention have you ever listened to the questions some of the more prominent local members ask in the zoom calls? They sound like they have just taken up the game and would welcome the return of Peter Puck to explain the game to them....

I suspect most aren't earning more than enough to survive month to month which would explain the lack of quality journalists in the market...

And I still maintain that the media outlets should transfer them to other markets every 3 to 5 years to keep the shows fresh and hopefully reduce the agendas that some carry...

Take care...

You sound like someone who supports communism?

It's called capitalism in a multi billion dollar industry...

If you don't like the limited number of companies who can afford to play in the sandbox, spend your time on a picket line demanding that player salaries go back to the good old days when players worked in the summers to top up their playing salaries so they could make ends meet...

Of all of the thing to complain about you pick this?

It's an odd complaint when you begin the post by accusing the NHL of being socialist...

Capitalism follows the money and the money is in Toronto and the Central Canada, we don't have to like it but it is what it is...

And of all the years to complain about the attention Toronto gets with Matthews having a historic season in leaves history and the leaves finishing at the top of the standings in the division...

Take care..
