GM "I've lost more talent than your team can hope to ever have!"
That OEL trade still haunts me to this day, brutal work by Jimmy
I’ll be honest I’ve been trying to put the Bennington era behind me (my therapist says it’s not good for my rage), so I almost skipped this one. But I’m glad I didn’t because you managed to make it funny and it was somewhat therapeutic to look back on all the missteps and absolute flubs that were sold as hope by Jimbo and the boys. Plus the absolute spit take of a lineup you posted at the end. I think it’s easier to accept now that things are back on track and Allvin is busy building penguins west
Benning was clueless
Ive never seen a GM give picks away for free like Benning
Its almost worth reuploading your video so you can include the braindead quote he gave of "We live day to day"
Can you roast the Pierre Dorion Era in Ottawa next!? What a dumpster fire that team was for so long…still cleaning up his mess with a new owner and GM
Yeah Benning was terrible but his worst offence was being horribly mediocre/incompetent.
He's no Harold Ballard.
Let’s not forget he also threw coach Green under the bus by leaving all the press up to the coach while the team was devastated by Covid.
He’s really not, there are so many worse GMs across the league
Idk Peter cherillie was ass
the perspective team at the end is not cap compliant in any way.
I think Dorion could him a run for his money
Benning was lucky to get Hughes if not for Holland's blunder.
It almost looks like Benning was developing players in Vancouver for Liiga…
He was bad, but definetly not the worst of all time, even recently. Chiarelli was worse
Nobody is worse than Lou
FORSLING MENTIONED 🫵
definitely the worst GM in modern NHL history
Nothing makes me happier than seeing how far competent management has taken this team
Rob Blake is the modern day Jim Benning
Good lord you Canucks line up at the end would have been so goated haha
Did this clown even graduate from Grade 12? I am seriously asking this question because he was so I’ll equipped to handle this type of job. Is English his second language? The guy is a total dunce…sometimes I actually thought he must be mentally challenged or perhaps he had too many blows to his head when he was a player. Even Rocky sounded smarted than Jim.
And the aftermath was the second coming of the Torts disaster (2014) in 2022-23 before the Nucks finally turned it around
Nice recap of old dye-job Benning’s futility
My two favourite Canucks memories were when Green and Benning were fired and when I found out that Ekman-Larsson was bought out. I haven’t followed the Canucks closely for long (since like 2018 or 2019) but still. Idk what that says about management.
Given there is this minor thing called salary cap, that utopian dream lineup is not just unrealistic, it's impossible. So makes no sense even putting it up there.
Can't blame Benning when his boss Aqua man gave him the sole power without conferencing with others. What a job this owner and GM tandem was!
Bro acts like the Cap doesnt exist with that lineup at the end. Also referring to dudeds by their Chel Ovr's is laughable. I feel dummer after watching this. And I lived the the Larry Plough years in STL.
"Alex Meruelo Has Entered The Chat"
Jim benning made Canucks fans lives miserabke for years lol ( mine included) haha
You're a clueless clown. Chiarelli and Botterill were worse than Benning just in his tenure. It is hilarious how Canucks fans can brainwash people like yourself. Benning was just average bad. And not even close to the worst ever.
The Canucks GM before Benning, Mike "if I haven't got something good to do, then why pretend to do anything good for the team" Gillis, WAS WORSE than Benning, who inhereted Gillis' team of almost nothing other than the aging twins. Seriously? Gillis… Ugh. THE WORST. The record is set straight. Cheers!
Every move somehow gets worse lol this is legendary
It's like nobody read a book and now they think they can?
Worst Canucks GM I've ever seen in my life!
