So many other minor things that killed us that don’t even get mentioned because theyre lost under the pile
Tucker Poolman’s contract is still a problem in the year of our Lord, 2024, and has prevented us from collecting LTI space for years. For a 3rd pairing defenseman no one wanted.
Signing Pearson to a 10 million dollar contract extension for literally no reason when he was our only good trade piece in a lost season and had already started regressing.
I think a 2nd for Vey was him too
On and on and on, year after year after year of mistakes and defended time after time after time on here

He was an absolute disaster

Hated the hire almost from day 1. Decided to keep an open mind until the Kesler and Garrison deals. The ensuing decade was nothing short of absolute pain and misery

The Dahlen for Karlsson trade seems out of place, but other than that, this is spot on.

I am so glad we’re all on the same page now about this guy. It was a fun almost-decade of arguing about all these moves.

Great Video! I wanted to upvote it but I ran out of time…

Good lord. I wasn’t watching hockey through the Benning era so a lot of the context here is lost on me, but just comparing this shlub’s speech and bearing to any Tocchet soundbite is giving me second-hand embarrassment.

Well that was a jumpscare and a half until I saw the date.

THE REIGN OF ERROR

And yet a lot of this sub defended him until the very end, hell some of them still do.

I’m going out on a limb and say that Virtanen was an Aqua pick. Benning was a few months into the job, no way he was up to speed on what the team needs. Probably had a deal with Boston to not use his Boston inside info at the draft.

A necessary price to pay. We needed him to build the core. Not without flaws but all gms have flaws. Very few gms build and win with their team. It’s usually one gm building and the other one taking them there.

It’s too much
Most incompetent GM in franchise history.
