I was more happy about Weisbrod getting fired than Benning. That guy is an absolute cancer anywhere he goes.

I think Kessel is going to be a good add for someone. But to those who want him here, how many more f***ing offensive minded wingers do the Canucks need? Maybe if they get rid of one of their overpaid underperforming middle 6 guys you sign him to a 1 year cheap deal. The Canucks are soft as butter. Same as they have been for a decade or more. Anyone they add needs to be able to play a tougher game. There are already enough guys who drive by and mail it in when the going gets tough.

Let’s not go too crazy. Benning was pretty much allergic to things going anything but worst case. It was actually kind of otherworldly levels of ineptitude.

Don’t forget the token 7th as well.

Too bad Jim Benning hasn’t got another gig as gm somewhere. He is the only gm who thinks trading expiring cap dumps for future cap dumps is a smart play. Well I guess I just explained why he is unemployed still.

Thinking of it as asset management means thinking of accumulating enough prime assets to improve your lineup anywhere it needs to be improved. No such thing as too many quality assets.

When you shift to think about it as assets to make the right moves to build a winning roster instead of thinking of it as depth.

No one can quantify how much is needed. The answer is enough to be able to make every move you need to make and/or fill every position necessary to fill. Asset management is the key. That means not wasting assets but accumulating them (players, picks, prospects) until you have enough to make the necessary moves to be competitive.

Not the Canucks despite having 10 years to do so. That was the whole point lol

You can never have enough assets. What you don’t need you use to get what you need. No idea why anyone is arguing that point. It’s been a main reason the Canucks have been trash for a decade.

lol I know. I was joking.

Ok has whoever kidnapped Drance given their ransom demands yet?

All 5 players being committed to defensive play helps a bit too.

Does he know how many times Edmonton has put him and Draisaitl out on their pp when they are blowing other teams out? ”They should go easy on us in that situation cause boo hoo whine whine”

Their overall defense is trash. And it doesn’t help that their forwards are for the most part allergic to defensive play.
