Benning playing a little hardball with Marky is good to see. It shows JB has learned a lot along the way. The goalie market is ripe this year, impending expansion draft, flat cap all play into this. I love Marky as much as everyone but this team is at a crossroads. JB can go the Leafs route and overpay our UFA's, or set a precident on signing team friendly deals that will push the team to contender status. Marky can take a look but I doubt there is anything all that enticing out there. More money? Maybe, but he loves it here and this team is going places so I still think he would circle back and sign here.
