Interesting, don't know if this has been posted anywhere but comments on running the PP were surprising.

I'm actually pretty excited for this guy. Took a similar path to Giordano, so it'll be interesting to see if it translates as well for him as it did the Flames captain.

so you're saying if he becomes a Giordano like player that puts the Canucks only 3 Giordanos behind the Oilers in Giordanos?

Benning probably thinks he just signed Adam Larsson.

And tied with the Flames, correct.

^"Benning is dumb" jokes are going to remain fresh and relevant until he stops doing hopelessly dumb things. So don't hold your breath.

Anyway I imagine Larsen is intended to replace Yannick Weber, basically... but they're paying twice as much for him as Nash is for Weber. Meh.

Oh, the general theme of Benning being dumb isn't old. The particular "there's two..." is.

I always liked Larson. The guy can fly up and down the ice. His skating is outstanding.

Good signing.
