Was definitely the highlight of the interview. Media is so stupid. There was articles about how Benning f'd their cap situation in regards to Boeser. Any time this man signs someone in free agency there are articles and media types talking about how Benning doesn't know what he's doing in free agency. He needs to get more jabs in at the media for their idiotic takes. 2 1 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's a fairly decent offer in my view. I thought the same thing a couple days ago. The "leak" made me think the organization was firing a PR shot over his bow, because it was a decent offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got in trouble early in his GM career for speaking about other players but I don't see him "leaking" things. Gillis I'd believe would do that. Benning seems like a stand up guy, almost to a fault. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these types of negotiations, it's not a bad thing to manage PR that way. Imo, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's a bad tactic, just doesn't seem like a Benning move imo. Hockey is one of the more "team" based games. It's smart to "leak" contract negotiations.

BlastPast Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Imo the leaked proposed 6 X 7.0 deal was leaked by the team to counter the (possibly agent driven) narrative that the salary cap was preventing them from engaging in a long term deal. The agent didn't like it because it could make his client look unreasonable. Agent: The salary cap is preventing a long term deal Team: Well, we offered you a 6 X 7 so.... Agent : !@#$%^ Just speculation. Hey, I could work for the media ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't think he was the orchestrator of any leak - that doesn't strike me as Benning - but once the info was out there, I think he'd be fine with it. Especially if it got Boeser back into camp quicker, which is more Benning-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he got POed because it's clear he should have advised Brock to accept that deal. The agent looks like he did a terrible job for Brock. 49 million dollars or 18 million dollars. That agent could have cost Brock 31 million! Brock already suffered a freak (almost career ending) injury. Bad agent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad agent. don't be like that alf 7 appears to be a much slimmer and smaller number then 5.85 5.85 is 3 numbers and takes up more space i can understand the agent's confusion Edited September 17, 2019 by coastal.view 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 1 hour ago, aGENT said: Disagree, I think we can actually afford to move him more now than ever as we actually have viable 'replacements' and solid depth. And again, he's gone at some point this season regardless IMO. Although I think we are very close to "viable replacements" I don't think we have the ability to just hand over the reigns to them just yet. 1 hour ago, BPA said: Edler was re-signed as a buffer for QH as the LD is fairly weak. Imagine if it was QH, Benn + Hutton. The 2 years will give QH enough time to get used to the NHL and hopefully take over the #1-2 D position. Tanev will be on the way out. I see Myers as taking over that hard big minutes. Not to mention Barrie becomes UFA next year (so that's an enticing option). OJ still projected to make the team (most likely next year) and hopefully Woo (in a few years) so depth is building on D. We have 5 good quality D at the moment and a few on the cusp, this does not spell ready to off load one of our core D just yet. Maybe if someone pans out soon:Tryamkin,Briseboise,OJ for e.g. then maybe. 1 hour ago, stawns said: I waive Biega because he's almost guaranteed to go through and if he doesn't, it's not a huge loss.......as much as I like him, I think the writing is on the wall with him. I believe he brings more to the table then Stecher at a much cheaper rate and rarely looks out of place. I am not sure he would be the first one to go at this point. 35 minutes ago, stawns said: Breezer is ready, imo, but might be waiver exempt which means he's likely going down I think he is close too. Seeing him last year and seeing him play now, things are progressing nicely with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a first round pick dumped to rid them of a one year contract. Both moves dubbed as "genius" by the Eastern media. What a crap show media has turned into. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I still can't believe it... what a steal. If I was Jim I'd just start out with 6 AAV at 3 year... they were low balling him and caused him to miss camp. Luckily he'll get pre season action... so probably no harm done and he got to spend a few extra days back home. It's probably a win win for everyone. Here's to a healthy season for Brock filled with lots of goals and winning hockey. I've been straight all my life, but if I could turn, I would do it for Brock...
