Surprising he did not get one

Ya.  The compensation for a Bess offer sheet would only be a second and a third, right?  A team could have basically stolen Bess from right under our noses.  It still could happen though.  Bess hasn’t singed with us yet.  :lol:

 

ps.  B)

So with the signing of Leivo we have about 5.6 .7 left in cap space. Who's thinking boeser will sign for that? And we still have couple of rfa remaining. Wonder what's happening on the Sutter eriksson or tanev trade

I think we actually have more like 11 million.  That Cap site doesn’t realize we have 25 contracts.  Two of those are Utica bound without us having to hold 1 million from them.

8 contracts have to be sent down.  If you include Roussel on LTIR, they'll have over $13M free cap space to sign Boeser and Goldy.  The other 2 RFA'a will be in Utica

Benning is going to use $13M to sign Boeser and Goldy?! OMG fire him immediately before he destroys the team!

That's what I heard too.

Blame the centre of the hockey universe.

Over the past seven months, Toronto Maple Leafs restricted free agents William Nylander and Auston Matthews each played a role in rewriting the rules for stars coming out of their entry-level deals.

One pushed his rookie general manager to the final five minutes of the signing deadline and reaped a generous financial reward as a result. The other inked a massive bridge/commitment hybrid deal that will walk him to unrestricted free agency at the age of 26.

The negotiating leverage has nudged toward the young stars ruling a faster, more skilled league. That’s evident by the number of emerging stars who turned down in-season offers, opting instead to put up pinball numbers and cash in on the bets they made on themselves.

Here’s a look at our top 15 RFAs-in-waiting, whose contract negotiations we’re most intrigued to see play out based on their 2018-19 performance.

This summer’s class — loaded with Canadian-team stars — will have an especially significant impact on the salary cap pictures in Toronto, Winnipeg, Tampa and Calgary.

Restricted free agents have the option of discussing offer sheets with opposing clubs as of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, and we’re eagerly awaiting to see what happens with this star-studded Group 2 class.

(Jump to #7 on the list)

7. Brock Boeser vancouver-canucks.png
Age on July 1: 22
Position: Right wing
2018-19 salary cap hit: $925,000
Arbitration rights: No
Bargaining chips: 2018 Calder Trophy runner-up. 2018 All-Star Game MVP. Lethal shot. Great chemistry with franchise centre Elias Pettersson. Class act. Back-to-back 26-goal seasons despite never reaching the 70-game mark. Registered career highs in assists (30) and points (56). That flow.

The latest: While GM Jim Benning is active in both the UFA and trade markets, Boeser’s camp and the Canucks have at least opened extension talks, which is a positive sign. It remains a matter of closing the gap, which Sportsnet’s Irfaan Gaffar reported was still a significant one as of late May.

If Boeser is able to avoid a bridge deal, he should become the highest-paid member of the team.

Gaffar suggests Benning would be more comfortable with a six-year term, which is what he gave Bo Horvat when he came out of his entry-level deal, than an eight-year pact.

“Bo took a huge step in his third year, and I think I can do the same,” Boeser said.

A good learning tool would be teaching people how to turn off their radio and TV and stop reading the papers.

To wit, prime example:

 

Quote

"According to Capfriendly.com, the signing lifts the Canucks’ salary total to just over $75.9 million — about $5.5 million below the NHL’s $81.5-million salary cap.

While that figure does include defencemen Ashton Sautner and Guillaume Brisebois, who are likely bound for Utica when the season starts, the club will still need to move some pieces if they hope to re-sign star winger Brock Boeser and depth forward Nikolay Goldobin, who are both restricted free agents."

Is it too much to ask for just basic factual accuracy, let alone reasoned analysis?

"But a week after free agency, Benning has whittled that $30 million down to some $5.5 million with Brock Boeser still to sign. Which means the Canucks are right back where they started."

If he hits 40 he's worth it, when he hasn't yet and if he doesn't good luck trading him for that amount of picks or equivalent with a 10 mil salary

Man, he was on pace his rookie year eh. I hate thinking about how he went out, just URKS me.

If they keep quoting each others "facts" even if they are wrong, pretty soon, we don't know which one is the idiot...... :huh:  Wait, what?

 

How many times have we seen this happen?
