After today's horrible Bonino-Sutter trade, I decided to compile all of the trades that Jim Benning has made since taking over.
Out: Ryan Kesler Kevin Bieksa Jason Garrison Eddie Lack Zack Kassian Gustav Forsling 2nd Round Pick (Rasmus Andersson) 3rd Round Pick (Devon Siederoff) 2016 3rd Round Pick
In: Derek Dorsett Brandon Sutter Luca Sbisa 1st Round Pick (Jared McCann) Linden Vey Sven Baertschi 3rd Round Pick (Guillaum Brisebois) Brandon Prust
Ouch.
It would be one thing if they had gained a ton of cap space with these deals, but due to some pretty bad deals (Dorsett and Sbisa come to mind) they only saved 4.05 million from next year's cap for the 5 NHL players lost and gained (Kesler, Bieksa, Kassian, Lack and Garrison make 17.1 million while Vey, Sutter, Dorsett, Sbisa and Prust make 13.05 million).
Thank God I am not a Canucks fan...

The tank job hidden behind the illusion curtains of winning.

Messy situation. Still some solid pieces there along with some strong youth, but no direction........"pot calling the kettle black"

I have no clue. Nobody in Vancouver has a clue. I don't even think Jim Benning has any clue.
Sad times in Vancouver, 2011 was only 4 years ago and now the team looks like an absolute wasteland with one bright spot in Bo Horvat.

It's neither a re-load or a rebuild. In what world do you give up a decent top 9 center signed for 2 years at less than 2 million AND a 2nd round pick AND a young puck-moving defenseman for a player that is only marginally better than the guy your shipping out? Not to mention he's a pending UFA! It's madness. Benning clearly doesn't know what he's doing. If he felt that guys like Prust, Sutter, Bartkowski gave us a markedly better chance of winning, well then.. fair enough. He'd be wrong, but at least it would appear that he's trying to win now. But by trading Bieksa, Kassian, Lack.. for altogether very little it looks like he's trying to make the team both worse now AND worse later. It's gonna be ugly this year. I predict a 10th place finish and a 10th overall draft pick. Hopefully it costs Benning his job.

Jim Benning is as good at being a general manager is as a croissant is good at being used as a fucking dildo.

can we add the Luongo and Schneider deals just for fun in comparison those deals didn't actually cripple the fucking franchise. Only 15% of Luongo's salary was retained and no shit contracts came back in return, and Bo Horvat is the only bright spot on this fucking unpolished turd of a hockey team.
