All Access - Inside the Canucks Scouting and Combine Meetings

[@allghilliedup21]

Allvin’s opening speech to his staff is light years ahead of whatever Benning would’ve said.

[@September2004]

I didn’t know anything about Jim Benning back then. Now I wonder why the hell he would take the job if he didn’t want to speak to the media.

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

I mean, Benning was an old school mentality so you know

[@September2004]

That’s old school? Doesn’t say much for old school unless things were different then.

[@zacloomer1921]

Allvin's speech was terrible, he didn't say "ya know" even once. Benning would've dropped at least thirty.

[@allghilliedup21]

@@zacloomer1921 well you know, things happened the way, you know, they did and it is what it is, you know. Ummmmmm you know we need to get better, that’s obvious, you know.

Interesting to see the sedins there I’m glad there learning as much as they can

[@manuelfilimon2779]

Literally need a 10 of these in an offseason

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

Agreed, I know I'd watch all 10

[@HEBSports]

This management is different their thinking about the future not the present benning was always about get into the playoffs and see what happens but Allvin is about winning the cup Making a competitive team year after year

[@CME-4575]

“We live day-to-day,” said Benning. “We live with today, we're in today's world. Like, we got a game against Toronto, we played Toronto last night, I thought we competed hard, we played a good game. They have a real good team. Im glad the benning and green era is over

[@Mzuch14]

And that’s what what we need. Benning didn’t do much after 2011 and it seems like this new management wants to push forward and not just make a good team but a playoff contenting team. Ya we might not win right away but I’m happy that their actually taking the time to build up the team

[@tylermorello1237]

can't even explain how excited I am for this new direction with Allvin and co!!

[@ffBkLee]

they really haven't done much other than land Kuzmenko and got rid of Hamonic, but those two moves alone give me so much more confidence.

[@j.t.miller1641]

that hamonic deal what such a sneaky move i couldn't believe Ottawa gave a 3rd round pick

[@billytessio6326]

Allvin turned Hamonic (3M) into Dermott (1.5M) and Kuzmenko (1.5M) via a third round pick.

[@mackielunkey2205]

@@billytessio6326 Imagine what he could do by trading Miller when the time’s right. Benning would’ve just traded Miller for a bunch of overpriced contracts with no damn of the potential consequences lickety split.

[@davideaston6944]

Benning, whether he meant it or not, whether it was true or not, just always came across as tentative, guarded, and lacking confidence. Allvin shows maturity, oozes confidence, and seems to have no question on his direction. It looks like we got a great management team in place, FINALLY, after a couple of decades of generally HORRIBLE mismanagement (whose ever fault that was). Good luck to the team, that they can make the difference for a long term solution towards a winner.

[@hornedlobster]

[@sierraseb3311]

Wow! Fascinating to see behind the scenes I've always wanted to see what happens at the Combine. Thanks to all the Canucks Staff for allowing us to sit in with them in the meetings. I have faith in the new management group. I'll sit back, let you do your job and I'll find out what the decisions are when they happen. Go Canucks Go!

[@TheCanucksfan59]

A lot of great hockey minds in that room! Looking forward to seeing what happens this off-season

[@SISON12]

Love these kinds of videos!! Keep ‘em coming!

[@DailyDoseOfWisdom4]

Can’t wait for the up coming superstars

[@PatrickStar-et4xz]

The 2023 draft fits that criteria.

[@OnceSolem]

This is great content guys !! We haven't seen too much from this new group in terms of on ice moves. But in this video you can see the calmness and confidence of Patrick, the down to earth knowledge and level headedness of Cammi and even further to that seeing the Sedins and the other wealth of knowledge and experience in the rooms give us a great feeling were going in a better direction that days gone. Be it total bust or future hall of famer its good to see the deliberation and process that has gone into this very difficult draft.

[@noneyobusiness499]

Benning probably on a scaffold cleaning the windows trying to learn how to run a meeting with Weisbrod hiding in the ceiling…

[@leematson8484]

Totally Agree with this strategy. Burke took a good focus on drafting, resulting in Kesler, Burrows, And a couple Sedins.

[@nicholaslouie7590]

It's still early, but I already feel so much better with this management group.

[@austonmatthews5205]

I have complete faith that these guys have the patience to build a contender. Aquilini just needs to stay out of the way and let them overhaul this roster

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

The roster doesn't need an overhaul, and Aquilini doesn't appear to be involved, stop with the paranoia. Oh wait, you're not even a canucks fan

[@PatrickStar-et4xz]

Agreed. I don't think Aquilini will stop meddling though.

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

@@PatrickStar-et4xz He will, cause Rutherford ain't gonna let him. Stop with the paranoia, you're only creating more stress on yourself

[@PatrickStar-et4xz]

Paranoia is a strong word. To say that an owner who had a strong influence on hockey ops will suddenly become neutral is wishful thinking on your part. We'll find out whether management has complete autonomy as time goes on.

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

@@PatrickStar-et4xz Ownership will keep their hands off, Rutherford has already talked about "managing up", so there is no reason to doubt why he won't have autonomy

Also glad the Canucks have hired women in high profile jobs Hardly any team is doing that and it's about time they do they're should be a female coach in the NHL (as long as she is qualified)

[@j.t.miller1641]

100% why Rutherford took the job was when francesco flew to his house and spoke with him he let him know that he can basically build the organization how he wants. Now they have an incredibly diverse and excited management team along with getting a new practice facility and upgrading the dressing rooms. Really looking forward to the future of this organization now

[@CanadianLoveKnot]

Someone should tall Allvin there are 31 other teams, no wonder this organization is a tire fire

[@alexrogan3845]

Yikes were in trouble already if Allvin thinks there's 31 teams ?....... lol

[@mikemurphy8996]

If they want to rebuild through the draft that’s great, but you shouldn’t do it while picking 15th overall and having a pretty good NHL team. I watched the Leafs do that for 20 years

Step ONE, for the scouting department (pro dept.): Find a top 4 D-man to play with Hughes... This is getting REALLY, REALLY stupid watching 3rd pairing D-men playing along side one of the best talents in the league. PLEASE stop matching him up with bottom feeders. (I can't imagine what Hughes must be thinking every night, "getting" to play with the likes of Hamonic, Poolman and Benn ... ugh! That'll get you up for the game, eh? (NOT).

[@johnc3351]

Drafting is one thing but the biggest issue is the farm. Seems like year after year we bring up guys not yet ready for the big stage (excluding the goalies, which have been excellent drafts and farming). Canucks just seem to lack strength year after year is what I'm saying.

[@goodtogo2769]

I think Jim Benning got caught in the numbers game as in he wanted to do it himself with not a lot of help or the Aqualinies wanted him to do it himself without a whole Lotta help The biggest thing I see in this new management group is they actually put together a huge team of voices and knowledge, again either something JB didn’t do and/or wasn’t allowed to anyways JB is the past looking forward to the future, now if I can just be alive when the Canucks actually win a Stanley Cup :-)

Can someone in management tell me how the Colorado Avalanche, was legally allowed to sign Cale Makar to an Illegal entry-level contract ? Within the same year he was drafted, he signed for $8 million/3 years. That’s illegal.

[@theseanie9958]

It wasn't an illegal contract. It was the year after he was drafted (he went and won the hobey baker in college in his d+1 year). He got over 8 mil because of performance bonuses that basically all top picks have in their contracts. Most just don't achieve them

There's a really good chance Vancouver will have to give up their 2022 1st round draft pick (15th overall). I could see Yzerman taking on Tyler Myers contract of 2 years for the 15th overall draft pick. There's a slight chance Yzerman might be willing to take on OEL's contract at 50% retained as well.

[@gocanuckurself1]

No! Keep the pick!

[@PatrickStar-et4xz]

Trading away higher-round picks at this stage is utterly foolish.

[@Plastpackad]

Not a chance. Yzer have Mo Seider + really good prospects in the pipe. He will not spend a draft pick for a player like Myers or OEL. Yzer is not trading on a whim.

[@jordannewman177]

They don’t have to do anything. The idea of giving up our 1st is beyond stupid.
