He could sign a 4 year deal and an 8 year deal after that and still be in Vancouver for a long time. He didn't say anything about term at all. This is why I loath the endless speculation for contract signings.. my optimistic guess is a 6x6 or 7x7 deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if that's actually what's being said, but it's all we have. It makes sense with other younger players reportedly taking/asking for shorter terms out of their ELCs to maximize their payday (Matthews, Marner, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they delayed Brock's signing 4-6 wks into the season? Use some pretext of a LBI(for example). It would be fully agreed(in private) between JB & BB. Shake hands on a number, then go through the motions as the team adjusts/tweaks roster/cap/LTIR etc, until it's perfectly ideal for lift-off. Basically, use the model of that little princess WillyNy. - Could pro-rate the salary so Brock gets a whack of $, up front. Maybe even a large bonus next summer - Imagine we could lock him in for about 45~47 mill/7 yrs. Perhaps getting a lower cap-hit, by taking such a measure? - Assuming EP & Hughes will be up for large coin, this might be helpful when we really need every $'s space - It's kind of a circuitous way to have a 24 man roster in the Fall. Probably a fwd(s) gets banged up, & then we'd just shorten the plan, if necc - So you give a depth guy an opportunity to see if he meshes with some new faces. Could be valuable research-time for later in the yr(when teams are often depleted) - Or you might even swing a Nov deal, if someone bumps their value up, as another team hits early injuries. Make the deal just as Brock is returning to lineup. I know everyone wants to hit Oct full-blast, top lineup poised on the starting line..but it increasingly appears to me the winners pace themselves, & don't really roll hard/steady until the season's 2nd half. Brock might even benefit from great health, & a focused 60 game season. With no chance of any offer sheet(ineligible of course), I'd be fine if they looked at all $ options(to keep his cap-hit low as possible). Or, is this just a crazy idea?.. This is a terrible idea IMO. We’re tryin to make the playoffs and continue to attract high end talent moving forward into our window years. Not resigning our top winger and one of our best players for a few months could cost us huge ie....no playoffs. Not to mention the other potential damage and variables like maybe Tryamkin comes back sooner if we’re in a position to compete and maybe he doesn’t if we continue to suck Hahahaha. I doubt Brock is willing to do this considering how much he suffered last summer and he seems to be ready to come out hot this year and have a career year I’m sorry but I don’t see it.

WiDeN Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'm pretty sure the last thing Brock wants is a late start to the year like he had last year. He wants a full training camp, and a good start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for a young player like BB. I would be worried if he was only looking for a one year deal because that would most likely mean he isn't happy playing here. I assume BB's strategy is to prove himself as a top 6 forward in the next 4 years and then ask for a pay raise. What he doesn't want to do is lock himself in at $6-7m for 8 years because he might be selling himself short.

Amebushi Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 3 minutes ago, NUCKER67 said: I wonder why he only wants 4 years. I see a player like Brock wanting a four year contract as a sign of confidence in himself. In four years the cap will climb due to increased revenue in the league. The Seattle expansion, the new TV deal etc. Right now he is a first line winger, maybe considered a star player but after injuries in two years there are question marks in his game that will temper contract talks. In four years if he stays healthy and puts the puck in the net he will be poised to get a big time pay day. Why take $7 million for seven years if you can take $6 million for four and then $10-12 million after that? Players who believe in themselves want shorter term “bridge” deals. Flash in the pan “contract year” players want to go straight to the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzam Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The Nylander situation was a huge mess for them and he never got going. Brock already had problems getting going after a serious injury. We need him signed and in camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 lol the canucks will be out of the playoff race before november even rolls around XD this team needs everyone to contribute the entire year to have a chance of making the playoff.. any of their top player out for a pro long period of time = not a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Canucks have created a salary structure. Bo signed for 5.5. No one else is above 6. If Boeser gets 7 they better be sure he produces because they will be setting the bar for Petey and Hughes. They need to get this right. No rush, I don't think waiting is hurting them as some have suggested. It took a while for Bo but they got it right. If he wants too much the trade him. Everyone is replaceable.
