>“It just seemed like Benning was always able to persuade Francesco that they were one big move away from this team becoming something,”
Wow, I guess it’s easy to change the narrative when you aren’t able to be fired.
Fuck Francesco
If so, he was right. Absolutely appalling pick.
I love this team, but Aquilini is really making it hard to continue rooting for this team.
Aquilini has been using Benning as a scapegoat for years. This is nothing new. It’s laughable that this article tries to paint Benning as the one who was persuading Francesco to do things and not the other way around.
I find this part much more interesting considering the « Aqua meddling » narrative that still gets perpetuated
>“I think for the very first time, they have a guy in charge in Rutherford who is truly running the show,” said Mason. “I do know that Francesco has so much respect for him that he wouldn’t dare try to be intrusive in any way, in terms of hockey decisions, in a way that he might have been in the past, in terms of sitting in on draft meetings and things like that.
“I think he has so much respect for Rutherford that he’s hands off and he’s letting Rutherford run the show and whatever Rutherford decides is going to be the way they go.”
Makes sense. How many years in the biz with cups to his name. Rutherford knows his shit. And if any interference was going on Rutherford would quit at the drop of a hat anyway. 70+ years old. Too old for bullshit.
Me too aqua, me too
Based on his communication skills, trades and signings… If Benning could consistently persuade you of something, that’s not a great look
Yes, because Benning was SO persuasive that he was able to get his boss (Linden) fired. /s
We sure this isn’t a hit piece started by Francesco to just blame it all on Benning? I guess there’s no way to really tell.
The only time I would have liked for an Aqua interference. 🫡
But for every bust like Juolevi and Virtanen, we’re also in the timeline that got us Petey and Hughes so…the universe works in mysterious ways. 🤷♂️
If I only had an overpriced piece of land I could sell to Aqua….
Hahahahahahahahah and yet he lets this buffoon run the club after for another half decade. Just because you were born a billionaire doesn’t make you smart Mr. wittle aquaweenie
Wtf I love the blueberry man now.
Even a stopped clock…
Hmmm. Parse this sentence…
> He was absolutely livid about that, that they missed that mark so badly.
This is not really what you would say about an owner that was angry the day his team drafted someone – it’s what you’d say if the owner later came to the realization that his team had picked the wrong player well after the draft.
This is hindsight, not foresight. The title makes it sound like Aquilini was on the ball and hated the pick from Day 1.
I see a lot of people saying “if you hated it so much why didn’t you fire Benning sooner” but couldn’t it be more likely that it was a Linden move to not get Tkachuk, as has been speculated recently, and that was part of the falling out that lead to him being fired?
1-800-BULLSHIT
Lmfao. This is such a joke. I’m assuming Aqua wanted Ollie. Now regretting with Thachucks success, putting out this hit piece. He’s a loser and he always will be.
Meanwhile some other gm is like « fk i shouldve picked petterson »
Hindsights 20/20
Ownership like this is why this club won’t win as long as he is owner
Ryan Reynolds, please help buy the team
Nobody actually believes whatever this idiot says, right?
Blah blah blah
Aqua should have done something if he really hated it.
lmao sure
History repeats- when we drafted Shawn Antoski- the next pick? Keith Tkachuk.
