apollo Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Happy birthday big guy. Should be the best money puck signing in Jim's career and definitely the best money puck deal of the 2019 free agent frenzy. Boy are we blessed we have such a great city that attracts free agents like no other. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best area in the world to live, as indicated by the volume of people moving here from around the globe Edited July 26, 2019 by Alflives 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many beautiful places to live in BC that we don't all need to crowd into the same already overcrowded place. I grew up in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver and it is indeed an awesome place to live or grow up but I can't afford to live there now. Nor do I want to spend all my time hustling money so that I could. I have 5 acres of beautiful forest in northern BC and I love it. But if everyone wants to crowd into Vancouver until it bursts then that's up to them but I'm glad I went north. Go Canucks Go! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly the greatest province / state / piece of land / whatever you want to call it. Super Natural British Columbia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a "money puck deal" would be something that involved signing a guy for perceived low market value based on some mumbo jumbo stats? Benn is a very solid veteran 3rd pairing guy. His contract is decent value though I wouldn't call it an underpaid deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Montreal had a 3 year 2.5 AAV deal. Jordie is a good BC boy that took a discount to play at home. Not to mention escaping the Eastern winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
