I understand what the advantages would be for the owners, but for the players its a huge gamble. Lack of form and they could lose their income... I don’t think they would accept that risk. If anything, maybe the team should be able buy out the contract without it going against the cap. But not sure how to work around it. But interesting thoughts nevertheless.

This is very true, and little has been spoken of this... I think the fact EP took the league by storm, change the direction slightly or at least the time frame.... Unfortunately the Luongo crap slightly went against their new plan as well. No doubt they will hope Gaudette can step it up so they can let go of Sutter. LE will be a hard nut to crack, but hopefully Benning finds a way to get out of that hole... Maybe Panthers feel they need to help JB out after screwing us over with the Luongo case and takes LE for a modest sweetener....(yeah I know it won't happen, but one could hope...).

While the idea is good for the clubs, I don't think the players union would ever agree to such performance related contracts... There is no guarantees in sports. But could imagine them saying good, but then if a player produces over X points, he should be allowed to renegotiate his contract, as he is not paid, what he could get on the open market...

Sure ... why not. Lets shoot for the stars

Can just imagine Deb with her cow bell giving it her all

Spot on IBatch.... I have a feeling of the exact same thing. If JB is a smart, as I think he is, he will use the media hacks to his advantage and create the us against them mentality. A lot of the senior signings will buy into this as they should feel angry with how they have been perceived by the local press. Just negative garbage poured all over them. Time to shut them up boy and make them eat crow... And yes if we could get some play off hockey, we could finally see if JV can live up to the billing or not... I like this team a lot.

Same most years to be true... there's always a superstar in a draft...any draft... I prefer some play off hockey. If its a first round exit, so be it, but we need to measure, what we've got of play off caliber players...different show. Also if Canuck harbour any hope for a player like Horvat resigning, when the time comes, I think they need to show some ambition.

Hahahaha...I wouldn't know, but I'll take your word for it On a more serious note... My point was to pick and chose... While there is a few stinkers in there, The Pearson example is garbage. He scored 9 goals in 19 games here...thats near 40goals pace at 3,75M, I 'd say thats a pretty good contact. And Baertschi was scoring at nearly 30 goal pace, again pretty good at 3,3M.

Spot on OP..... Thanks... The glass doesn't have to be half empty... it could be half full... So sick of all those negative media hacks as well as negative posters on here that fights tooth and nail to find something to moan about. Don't understand why they follow this team as everything about it from the owners to the players seems to be sh!t...so why bother, except hoping to ruin the joy for others. Luckily we are many, who actually look positively on the road ahead for the Canucks and enjoy what is happening here. Keep up the positivity

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Josh Leivo
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If he plays well depending on standings, he could bring a nice little return from a contender... Unless JB wants him to stay of course... -
And maybe it was because it was part of their negotiations... Boesers camp may have said, that they wanted to see money early, or he could be tempted to stay in Uni another year... thus making him eligible to go to, whomever he wanted... You don't want to screw over our biggest assets before they start their careers...

Yes forgot about Beagle as well. We are getting far stronger than we’ve been in ages. Love it....absolutely love it.
-
And add to that Bo and Zack McEwan... yes we are definitely getting bigger

Please be true.... Can't wait to see this happen, and how all the nae sayers are gonna spin that one...

And??? Aquilini still owns the club. What were Benning to do, if this were the case? Pick up his clothes and leave, his first attempt as a GM? Time will tell if you lot are right and it'll all fall flat. But so far 15 million picks in the top 3 hasn't given Oilers a championship... So how about we let this play out for another 2 years, and then we'll see if you lot are right, and we are going nowhere. Or maybe just maybe there is some merit to what Benning is trying to do....

Myers have played the grand total of ZERO games for Canucks... How about we slag him off AFTER he has played his first few games for us?
