    Default Friedman: Canucks extending Benning

    Surprised no one has posted this topic yet, so I'll get it going.

    Hearing VAN has extended GM Jim Benning. He was heading into the final season of his current contract.

    Would've been nice if they had done this before he felt compelled to trade a 1st rounder for JT Miller in what felt a bit like a desperation move, but what do I know?

    Theyve terminated worse contracts than this one. It means nothing.

    Don't forget the Russian.
    The next couple of years will be interesting - do they make the playoffs or go into a dismal downward spiral that mimics the endless cycle of GMs and Coaches in Coilerville.

    I think the big question is - who actually runs this team?

    On one hand it seems Benning wants to build through the draft.
    On the other, he makes moves to compete now.
    First it was Sutter in trade
    Then Ericksson
    Then Beagle, Roussel & that other guy.
    Now he swings Ferland and Myers -- least on the surface they seem better... At the time Eriksson didn't seem horrible, just the length of it.

    Right now, Benning seems to be getting by on hitting homeruns with his 1st round draft picks.
    He's a much better Assistant GM ala - Hunter in Tor.
    They need someone to come in and replace him on signing free agents. He really needs someone to negotiate trades for him. The man can't gain a draft pick in a deal to save his bloody life.

    It's a shame Utica is a cluster f---. There's some real good prospects going there that they're going to burn down into nothing.
    I said this before - I think Ryan Kesler is the last AHL forward Vancouver developed into a top 6 forward. Burrows too, sure, they arrived at the same time.

    Since then is been a graveyard for prospects.
    They need massive developmental changes top to bottom and now in order to save Lind, Gadjovic, and anyone else that lands there.
    You look at Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson, Gaudette - they did most of their growth in other leagues. Only Gaudette has spent any amount of time in Utica and he projects as a 3rd line C on Van moving forward.

    Good thing Madden has the NCAA; Podkolzin has the KHL & Hoglander has the SHL

    if Ferland and Myers have a good first year. his earlier moves will start to be forgotten
    Tryamkin should return in 2020/21 and Juolevi is going to turn into the teams best overall defenceman in 3 years (my hunch)
    When Juolevi turns into a top 4Dman, Benning will be given the keys to the city.

    Benning said Monday he's not concerned about the cap crunch and noted he has the permission of ownership to demote veterans.
