Learn to read Gomer Disciple. He gave away a years worth of picks for 2 1/4 years of Tanner Pearson. The guys I mentioned were pretty much bottom end scrubs that are always available for cheap on July 1 or on the waiver wire. No need to hemorrhage picks for a pile of garbage.PottedMeat107post_id=381589 wrote:Thu May 21, 2020 7:58 pmDid Skully really just complain about a 6th for Etem and a 3rd for Pedan?Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 7:42 pmShaddap Vincenzo Skully.

Scrubs like Vey, Baertschi, Etem, Pedan and Gudbranson are available on waivers or UFA all the time if this age gap was such a concern. It wasn’t very good asset management.
I didn’t read the article but even the most ardent Benning supporters must admit that those weren’t assets well spent.
Jeepers, this Hargraves chap demands perfection!
No GM in the league could ever meet the exacting standards of Skully, except perhaps MS... one day.

Vincenzo Skully. Google Harman Dayal take a look at what you’re agreeing with

I agreed with the one small part that I mentioned. I get it. You need a team of longshoremen armed with pipe wrenches to open your mind. No need to apologize... carry on.

Of course there were missteps every GM has them, they still needed to ice a competitive team for sake of bo, Jake, marky, Brock. They sucked but they didn’t get blown out of games like Detroit did this year. A lot of that “waste” was gambles and placeholders.
Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
He gave a C- overall. Apparently, 2 can singlehandedly? (meh) Definitely framing his article around recent unsubstantiated rumors a bit. Back-tracking way too much. When any decent level of autonomy probably didn't exist. Plenty on Pettersson and Hughes. Petey pictures start many stories.Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 5:51 pmI read it, harman Dayal wrote it and under sold how horrible the prospect pool was, talked about how great the assets Benning inherited in the old core was. He then went on to complain about the placeholder players benning had to acquire to ice an nhl team while they sucked for 3 years during the rebuild, bitched about the salary cap (as if benning won’t do anything about it this offseason). All in all pretty shitty article, made comparisons to Edmonton and buffalo, but I want to see how we compare to Detroit and the Rangers, lets see them do what we did in 3 seasons.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 5:24 pm Any subscribers to the Athletic?

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
It’s good to know botchfords legacy will live on with Bolo tie Burke and hateful Harmon. Funny thing is I think Harmon is trying to get on with an nhl team ala Ryan biech. Don’t know if trashing nhl exec’s is the way to go about it.Micky wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 12:26 amHe gave a C- overall. Apparently, 2 can singlehandedly?

Everybody wants to be the bad guy now. There's such a thing as too many heels even in a market that likes it's sports media heels like Vancouver. We need more baby faces in the market right now to balance things out. Even if the job isn't as much fun for them. Suck it up.

I’d enjoy punching Burke and Dayal at the same time.
