Is this a regular thing for the owner of an NHL team to be involved in player contract negotiations? I just heard that he was involved on the weekend when Brock told his agent he wanted to get this done.....not all along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if an owner with such passion for his team should even get involved at all? Passion clouds judgement. Although, in this case, the deal is great for us.

Tre Mac Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Brock's agent is on TSN1040, I am going to reckon he is also from Minnesota. "We're happy for Brack, he loooves Vancoooover" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners have been involved for a long time.....if you get a chance read Pat Quinn's book.....there's a part where his trying to sign Gretz and Gretz wanted to sleep on it but ownership got involved and wanted asap..... also heard flyers owners are very hands on too or where not sure now... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Capfriendy, the Canucks are only 1.7M above cap space but that includes a 26 man roster that must be trimmed to 23 by the start of the season! This is off season has been fan tastic! Yup, so basically subtract +/- $3m leaves us about $1.5m in cap space without even putting Roussel on IR. JB getting all of what he accomplished this summer done = 4 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're certainly right about some owners playing with their teams like they are toys. Glad we have Bess locked up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) So for all those beating on Sekeres, Boeser’s agent in a 650 interview confirmed that a 7x7 deal was offered by the team at the draft.

I'm surprised Bess's agent confirmed that. I kind of shows that he messed up. Now Brock is getting paid more than a million less. I'd say Brock needs to get himself a new agent. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -DLC- Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 Listened to Ben on the drive in. A couple things stood out: that he was at the Vikings game and got a call ... I'll call you back later, I'm busy??? No. You talk NOW because we're waiting. Also that the 3 year is with a vision to do 8 or so afterward. I want to hear the swear off they had. The "leak" of the 7 upset him but was that because it looked worse on the team to not have that disclosed? Because that's a fairly decent offer in my view. Not sure how I feel about this agent. Although I do like that he acknowledges the position the Canucks were in with the Luongo thing and other signings taking place...plus the cap not going up to what they'd expected it to. So he "gets it". I do like that the media addressed the issue of is there a desire for him to play in Minny and it sounds like no. That this is the best place for him. And I agree. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Sutter on the 3rd line for now until Gaudette is ready so no rush to trade him a this point as Gaudette should be playing top minutes in Utica this year. Goldy looks good, I wouldn't trade him until we see him in action. He could be a sleeper this year. I like Leivo on the 3rd line playing with Sutter and Virtanen so I'm not sure where Baertschi fits in as Ferland will be given every chance to play with Petey and Brock and BO and Miller look like they already have chemistry and BO had chemistry with Pearson last year so I can see those 3 playing together as well. So that leaves Beartschi either on the 3rd line or in the press box. It will be good competition this year as we have much more depth. Who knows maybe Eriksson proves himself and earns a spot on the 4th line. With Boeser signing under $6 million we can actually keep Eriksson on the roster if Benning chooses to, we can send Biega and Schaller to Utica and put Roussel on LTIR. Lots of options right now. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's pretty clear that we're going to have to start moving out some bodies at some point soon (and even more in the future as kids keep developing/arriving). We've got 26 legit NHL'ers on a 23 man roster and that's before any kids push for spots. May the best men win and best of luck to those we move on from in the near future Edited September 17, 2019 by aGENT 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a contract he should have advised Brock to sign, especially considering Brock wants long term stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
