If I thought we had any chance at re-signing him in two years I'd be much less open to the trade, but here we are!

I can't understand why Benning was chasing OEL - like adding a $7M+ past-his-prime defenseman with 6 more years on his contract was the answer? He had already drafted Hughes... and had signed Myers. And because he was obsessed with that OEL deal (to correct all his past UFA mistakes - Roussel, Beagle, Eriksson) now Vancouver is stuck with three D making $6M+
Of course they had to let Markstrom go, with Demko developing into a No 1 starter - but why not retain Tanev and Toffoli? And just wait one more year to get rid of all your bad mistakes. Sheesh - Toffoli had good chemistry with Pettersson...
Ah, nuts.

What a mess that idiot left.

Best part to me is Canucks fans believing all these problem deals were Jim Bennings fault.
Jim Benning was a puppet for your meddling owners. The Aquilinis still own the Vancouver Canucks. The puppet masters now have a team of new puppets to work behind. I cannot wait to see the new Jims put their stamp on the team, starting with getting rid of your best player JT Miller.
