Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... okay Hargraves.

But you did get excessive with the vitriol for a couple of years, you were very difficult to live with!

Twas over the top buds, but rebuilds are tough and so all is forgiven.

However, some of the Around The Bend Gang over there should never be forgiven IMHO.

I’m fairly certain I wasn’t the only one over the top.

But yeah nothing like that big bulbous pus filled blister.

Meh, Blob wasn't over the top at all and was a welcome counter point of view to prevent the Echo Chamber effect - kept the rest of us honest in our posts to have to defend them! Right , Tyler Bertuzzi?)

So according to Bleach Clean, ten Canucks players are having career years and Tyler Myers is somehow being buoyed or carried by Quinn Hughes. I hope this character is smart enough to realize that kids having better years than previously isn’t them having a “career year”. And how the fuck is Hughes carrying Myers. They played together for 7 or 8 games. What a knob.

Miller and Pearson are the ONLY guys having “career years”. Markström has played at this level for two years now. Anything to bend and twist the truth. Some of these people are so far down a rabbit hole they’ve become downright twisted and bitter. It’s all about being right. Why even watch the team?

Why even watch the team?

I don't think they do.

But some of them can still show you some mind-bending math!

I've often wondered if Shane was nailing the mom after Joey went bed and thats why he fucked off

Definitely some people that would just rather be right than see the Canucks succeed. I noted the fact that our young core progressing isn’t exactly shocking and it should be expected. I don’t have time to go back and forth with some people who just want to use random words from the dictionary to sound a bit smarter.

I’ll say, I am ok with how Benning has operated lately, but he quite clearly stumbled upon Pettersson and Hughes by just not building a good enough team and getting high picks - I think to say he was actively rebuilding, when the majority of his targets in previous years were age-gap players, is quite wrong. Nor did he stockpile draft picks in any year, he traded more than he acquired or near the same IIRC. That’s not ‘rebuilding’ in my eyes, that’s just being bad with bad pro-scouting and getting high picks that have since transformed the teams outlook.

Not taking anything away from actually selecting Pettersson/Hughes/Boeser, no one can deny that, but I don’t think this was your typical rebuild.

You won’t find an argument on these boards about this not being a typical rebuild. Benning’s real moves came when Linden left. Before that it was a “rebuild” that was designed to be loyal to a few vets, namely the Sedins, and give them every opportunity to get it done.

I’d say Benning wanted to tear it down when he came here but ownership said make the playoffs we aren’t done yet.

This is why owners hire GMs to run their shiny toys. One, they don’t know enough about hockey, and two, it gives them a scapegoat to fire when the inevitable happens. Lol.

[Mickey107]

The Sedins were always going to be permitted to retire as Canucks. Don't think that wasn't a factor in the way it played out.

I think you're confusing your Shane with your Old Yeller.

If your confusion is caused by rabies, I can swing by.

It certainly wasn't the rebuild in the style of Edmonton/Buffalo/Toronto/New Jersey etc. etc. - and obviously none of those rebuilds turned out, or if they can be considered completed it took twice as long as Benning's method.

Funny that he continued the "age-gap" acquisition method to get JT Miller and Tanner Pearson, but nobody's complaining about that anymore.

Also, unlike Edmonton/Buffalo/Toronto/New Jersey, Benning succeeded without a single ounce of draft lottery luck, managing to drop the most spots in the draft out of any team in the league.

Its a fair point that he didn't stockpile picks, but my personal opinion is that a Linden Vey is more valuable than a 2nd-round pick, and I could really care less about picks under the second round.

A nice counterpoint to the Benning Rebuild wll be the Red Wings - now entering Year 4 of no playoffs, and IMO no prospect of playoffs for a couple years at least, despite being helmed by two highly-regarded GMs in Holland and Yzerman. Holland had 21 picks in his last 2 drafts, and Yzerman had 11 last year, lets see if that pans out any better by the equivalent point in Benning's re-build.
