8 Years. We’re in the 8th season of the Benning era. A talented talent scout made Canucks GM by the Aquilinis when the fans demanded Gillis be fired. Gillis had GM’d the Nucks to the (jobbed) 2011 SCF and 2 President’s Trophies, but after getting swept in the 2012 first round panic was building in the building - for 2 years.
Since JB was signed as GM (later as President - as Franny fired Linden), the Nucks have seen 1 first round playoff run - technically not a run - and the Bubble Miracle that almost made it to the Western Final.
