Eriksson, Baertschi...

Imagine what this team would be like if it weren't kneecapped by all of Benning's terrible FA signings.

I'll give Baertschi a pass because he was productive before his concussion issues.

Can someone CGI DeAngelo's head on to one of the Capitol Insurrectionists so he can't get in to Canada?

That would be great, thanks.

I think the safest thing to do would be to cancel the rest of the season.

For safety reasons.

Because being safe is important.

And safety

The Canucks desperately need some time off because they look dead tired on the ice.


Also they need to fire Jim Benning.

I know we all joke that the NHL doesn't give a gently caress about the players, but this is just getting ridiculous.

Starsfan posted:

Did the NHL actually state that on ice transmission wasn't a thing? I heard media guys saying that that but I couldn't believe it was actually a position of the league. I guess its not surprising from the same people who said that there was no evidence that fighting lead to concussions.

The NHL's stance on on-ice transmission was basically "we don't know for sure, so we're going to assume no".

tbh I think you have to suspend the guy when you're playing MORE games against the exact same team and it's not even the playoffs, like you want regular season headhunting to start being a thing?

Of course he should be suspended.

I'm just kind of surprised that DoPS actually did something the way it's been going the last couple of years.

Aquilini going with the vote of confidence a month into the season was the dumbest idea he could've had because it's clear he was wrong and now he can't fire the GM or coach

I honestly think that Benning and Green still have their jobs because Aquilini doesn't want to eat their contracts in a year where revenues are incredibly low.

HAS favorite Jarrod Tinordi, now on HAS' rival, the Boston Bruins.

Tinordi is tall and very bad at defense, so I'm surprised that Benning didn't claim him.

ThinkTank posted:

At least he's been a semi competent play driving forward for much of his career. Heinen is a similar offensive black hole but also a serious defence liability.

Moving a largely ineffective bottom six winger for a even less effective bottom line centre is a brutal decision. Virtanen drives me crazy but he's definitely not at the "dump for whatever we can get" level yet. If there's no upgrade on defence or depth in another area, don't trade him. He's fine and the team is not worse off with him in the lineup.

Leave it to Benning to find a worse option to trade Virtanen for.
