Canucks Young Guns

[Chef Boi RD]

Benning is slaying a minimum of 3 thoroughbreds per draft

2017 - Pettersen, Lind, Gadjovich, DiPietro
2016 - Juolevi, Dahlen, Lockwood
2015 - Boeser, Brisebios, Gaudette
2014 - Virtanen, Goldobin, Demko, Tryamkin, Forsling

Turns Shinkaruk into Granlund, Burrows into Dahlen, Mallet into Pouliot, a 2nd into Baertschi, Hansen into Goldobin, McCann into Gudbranson. Signs Stecher. A.MA.ZING

How is that NOT GENIUS?

Compare what Benning has done in 4 drafts to what Gillis did in 6 drafts and you will be awestruck by the Jimbro's workings

[Chef Boi RD]

Accept the genius, you're life will be so much brighter cause the future is as bright as bright can be

Unless Juolevi sucks...then we have exactly ZERO defensive prospects coming up the pipe

Bubbles hates D-men. He prefers Wingers - Virtanen, Boeser, Tkachuk, Svechnikov. The least important position in hockey. It's his love for terrible skating Ryan Clowes that stunts ole Bubbles

[Chef Boi RD]

Carolina has a beauty in this Necas. Just scored a goal, very dominant on the puck, Vegas is going to regret picking Glass over him. Necas was the player I thought could be the steal of the draft. Is Nolan Patrick the next Chad Kilger?

Kind of alarming that he was stripped of the captaincy and replaced on the top pairing by two younger players

Wow it doesn’t take much to be a genius in your world when only 2 of those names you mentioned is in the NHL. I guess I expect more from a genius.

The franchise really really REALLY needs this kid to be something special...otherwise its a crisis looking forward

No pressure kid

No idea . He’s got some fetish for Ryane Clowe and brings him up constantly. As for the rest of the drivel I like bpa regardless of position. I’d had no problem with them drafting Sergachev or Mcavoy or even Chychrun

[2Fingers]

Wait RD, are you saying Benning is a genius for Forsling because he drafted him? I think he is a complete fool in the trade for Clendening but then your bar is low that if Benning wipes himself without any help he is considered a genius.

Lol and they are all thoroughbreds even though two players in four drafts have made it and one is a fourth liner on a 20 point pace. You can add Forsling in if you want to call Benning a drafting savant but Benning and his crew of guzzlers on this board thought so little of him that he was traded for a shitty player in Clendenning. The same klown who trumpets Benning drafting Forsling said he was hot garbage after he was traded.

Getting the feeling somebody in this organization thinks "goal tending" is the least important position.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Drafting DiPietro tells me that isnt the case.

It seems to me that goaltending is the one position you can find players through free agency or minor trades to shortcut the tedious development process. Goalies just aren't worth as much it seems

Just saying do something about the laughable, now infamously famous, soft goals this team is allowing every game.
Whether that means finding a replacement for Dan. Giving Thatcher a look see, if for no other reason to shake up the other two, whatever. Just do something otherwise the league might have to give us a handicap.

[Chef Boi RD]

Benning has drafted two goalies - Demko and DiPietro, both considered excellent goalie prospects. Ask Chiapet how happy he is with Talbot. Goaltfnding is not a simple fix. A team should really not let two drafts go by without at least drafting one quality goalie prospect. JimBro knows his stuff

Bubbles prefers terrible skating sucker punching, spearing wingers over defenceman. He believed Wingers are Best Players Available
