BCNeil Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 This thread sums up this forum perfectly.....people that don't understand hockey. Like wow a guy expected to play as a top 6 didn't sign a qualifying offer.......what a head case, what has he ever done in the NHL. Good lord.....Do some research what an RFA actually means, what a qualifying offers actually means and the reason for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steen Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd give him a one-way, but I'm not the GM. And this happens all the time, people. It's not a big deal. It's not even a little deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Love this stuff. Sit back and watch the drama queens over-react. Priceless entertainment value. I wish I found it entertaining, but it really just makes me shake my head in disgust. The ridiculous speculation from some fans is just sad. Standard negotiating practice? Check. Panic from some "fans" that will now wildly speculate about "character issues"? Double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Why is he obligated to accept a 2-way when he sees Luca Sbisa with his 3.6 mill contract? He is not obligated, this has nothing to do with Luca Sbisa lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He is a player benning traded for. Have you seen what other players get that Benning acquired? Sven will be signed. 2 years 3.5 mill lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Time to jump to conclusions since a player has never "negotiated" during a contract negotiation before. I was think the same thing... for the Geeks out there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend learning to enjoy it, and not caring too much about all the noise. It's more fun, and it disempowers what deserves to be disempowered.

TOMapleLaughs Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Now we're starting to know why the media loves it when this team is losing. Media: Writes random sentence about Canucks during winning. Fans: Meh, we're winning. Media: Writes random sentence about Canucks during losing. Fans: AAAAAGGGGGHHHH! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS HAPPENING?!? OH GOD WHEN WILL IT END?!?!! YEEeeeeeEAAAAAaaaaaaAIIIEEEEEeeeee!!!! As long as the local media remembers that the should support the Canucks during winning, instead of ducking away from any outside pressure, we'll be fine. The Canucks lost the media battle in 2011. In fact, they were dominated in that regard. Part of winning in the future will have to see that change too.

DeltaSwede Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Atleast we know they are talking and progress is being made. Hitting the panic button to critisize Benning at every possible chance that is presented... oh CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Given he has to clear waivers if the Canucks try to send him down next season, he's effectively on a one-way deal anyways so he shouldn't be too hung up on a two-way deal. But he has leverage in the negotiations right now so why not ask for a 1-way? It does make you wonder though that in spite of all we've heard about how high the team is on this kid and how much his old junior coach is behind him, why Kenins would get a 1-way while the supposed future of our team is offered a 2-way deal.

TheGuardian_ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He has already been paraded out by management as being a key part of the "new" core, I am pretty sure his agent looks at things like that. The Canucks didn't need to paint themselves into a corner, but they did and now the agent is doing his job. "If you think he is that important, then pay him important money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If you people don't get any time soon that you are putty-in-the-hands of the media, thereby creating unnecessar pressure on the franchise, you will soon lose the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
