Benning would actually be a great guy for any team to hire to run their amateur scouting.

Just keep him far the hell away from any trade talks, free agents or contract negotiations.

Or a great hire. Bring him in as part of the GM team... Ask him what he would do in any given situation, be it trade, FA signing, and then do the opposite.

Jim Benning likely done in Vancouver

Holy shit, wtf.

The mother of all bad hockey takes.

I’ll admit to somewhat being sucked in by the Canucks, but I only thought they’d compete for one of the North’s four playoff spots this year.

But “Canada’s best chance to end the Cup drought”? A “favourable cap outlook”?

Holy shit that’s dumb.

[hockeylover]

asking for a friend....

Leaf fans can chip in for lessons.

 

[JackBurton]

Red Wings sign head coach Jeff Blashill to contract extension (sportsnet.ca)

In a league that fires coaches way too fast, this is a solid move. Collect those high picks witha likeable coach

Canadiens to allow fans May 29, first Canadian team to do so

The Montreal Canadiens plan to allow 2,500 fans in the Bell Centre starting May 29, which would mark the first NHL team in Canada to permit attendance since the pandemic shutdown.

I honestly think Ontario should do the same. Let in a small number of people who’ve gotten both their shots.

You could even have them wear masks to be extra safe.

Should be done with the Habs and into thinking about oilers/jets by game 5 - so meh to Montreal
