I didn’t say he had nothing to do with it. I just pointed out that the heavy lifting was done before he was in the front office sitting on Chiarelli’s kneeStrangelove wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 10:17 amI heard you the first time.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:34 pmChara, Bergeron, Lucic, Marchand and Thomas preceded himStrangelove wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 8:42 pmAss one would expect, in Blob MckenSie's twisted mind Bruin's Assistant GM Jim Benning had absolutely nothing to do with it!Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 6:09 pmChara, the 2006 draft, the 03 draft , Canucks injuries and the officials gifted Boston a cup in that order![]()
UK was wondering how much the genius had to do with the Cup win in Boston.
Your response paraphrased: "Nothing."

JB advocated the trading of Seguin as well. That move set their franchise back big time.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 9:34 pm Chara, Bergeron, Lucic, Marchand and Thomas preceded him
Advocating, guilty by association, t’was not Jimbro’s decision to make as we all know the hierarchy there at the time, it’s not rocket science - trading Sequin goes bigger than a assistant GM at the time, “hey Cam, hey Peter I traded Seguin to Dallas”. In defence of Boston - Seguin was party central in 2011-2012 to the point of where his teammates were having to baby sit him, keeping him in check, looked like he was a bad egg in the making but hats off to Seguin for straightening himself out in Dallas, the trade woke him upTodd Bersnoozi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 8:01 pmJB advocated the trading of Seguin as well.
