PhillipBlunt Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Are you kidding? Look at his AHL stats. Don't care? Well you said professional which includes the AHL. Look at his NHL stats. 30 points in 69 games. A while ago, you said you were done with this team. Are you just here to complain? Didn't you get the restraining order?

thema Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I was always worried about this guy; a soft offense only forward from Switzerland who knows full well that if his NHL career doesn't go just the way he wants he can always go back home to the league where nobody ever hits anybody and be a star for the next 20 years and get paid very well indeed for not even breaking a sweat. I'm with those who say that he's proven nothing at the NHL level yet and needs to prove that he's a keeper before we throw millions of $ at him. Maybe, just maybe Burkie was right about him...

JohnLocke Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm beginning to see why Calgary cut bait with him. Benning should have done a little more homework on this headcase.

Canada Hockey Place Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Doesn't mean he's asking for more. I think a similar player is Paajarvi in STL. He filed for arbitration. Paajarvi, who was acquired in a trade with Edmonton forDavid Perron, is coming off a two-year, $2.4 million contract with the Blues. There are reports that Paajarvi is seeking a one-way contract and could elect to play in Sweden if he does not receive one from the club. He re-signed a few days later for $0.7m 1 year, one-way.

apollo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Take him to arbitration... What a the most a player who hasn't proven anything can earn? No knock against Sven, I'm sure he'll be a great Canuck but save as much cap as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 There's no reason for him to sign his QO - it's just a formality to retain a players rights. I expect that he has no idea what his agent is negotiating for him (most of the time players are totally remote from the process and let their agents negotiate the best deals for them). This was the following tweet: NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports 4h Agent Andre Rufener says he is positive something will get done soon. The #Canucks still retain Baertschi's rights but just need a contract. It looks like Grenier also negotiated a contract instead of just signing his QO (contract is now signed). NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports 4h 4 hours ago Alexandre Grenier has not accepted his qualifying offer from the #Canucks yet, his agent says he is still negotiating with Vancouver.

ForsbergTheGreat Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So many clueless posters who have been playing to many videos games. 1 way - simply means he gets paid that salary no matter if he plays in the NHL or AHL 2 way - means he has a salary for when he’s in the NHL and a salary when he’s in the AHL. Even if he signs a two way he still has to clear waivers to play in the AHL. For all purposes he isn’t likely going to clear waivers anyway so he’s should be getting the NHL salary anyway. Usually 900k in NHL salary vs 75K AHL salary. You can see why he’d want a 1 way deal and it really has no effect on anyone but Sven and the owners wallet.
