If true, well done JB. There was no way they were going anywhere near 7x7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Fair deal. Nice job JB, definitely less than I expected 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn't come with a full or any NTC. Then it will be an excellent signing.... Edited July 1, 2019 by Hogs & Podz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, we can grab a guy like Berglund who wants a return to NHL... low risk, high reward potentially! Makes me wonder how the Eriksson situation will play out... can't handle the suspense!! Doesn't seem like Benning is confident that he'll be able to shed much salary, otherwise we'd still be trying to improve the top 6. If Benning is already giving up on that, it tells me he really doesn't think there's much hope of gaining any cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That’s a great deal for the Canucks if indeed is true way to go JB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlastPast Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I just hope the guy can come in and play well and do his job. I doubt it will be a deal where the economics look good but if he could come in and play a solid 20 mins/night that would be big. Hopefully the term is under 7 but right-shot D seem to hold their value into their thirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone expected his term to be 6.5-7.5m and he gets 6. Less time and money. Not everyone ...but what will all those claiming to KNOW it would be terrible, including... "it'll be the worst Canuck contract of all time" have to say? Where is that guy, lol. Edited July 1, 2019 by Hutton Wink 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a 7 x 7 type contract but will pessimistically hope for a 5 x 6M type contract. Oh my Edited July 1, 2019 by Grape 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greetingsfrombrazil Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was really scared of what this deal could be, but 5 years at $6M per is not bad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to sing from the rooftops or anything (I was never going to be happy with anything over 4 years regardless), but considering some of the numbers that were being thrown out there, I guess I'll take it.

brian42 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Not bad I said earlier today anything over 5 years 6 million I wouldn’t like. A little less term and a little less AAV then some feared. Not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireGillis Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Glad it's only 5 years. Social media got it lowered from 7x7m! Myers got spooked and didn't want to get booed day 1! Edited July 1, 2019 by FireGillis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just when everyone in Vancouver is getting ecstatic about Benning closing on a better than expected deal with Myers, Eklund is reporting that another team has stepped in to steal him away at the last minute! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benning is already giving up on that, it tells me he really doesn't think there's much hope of gaining any cap space. Honestly man... I won't lose sleep over Nyquist or Marcus Johansson... I would rather see him make a ballsy move in trading picks + any combo of Sutter/Eriksson + Gaudette/Virtanen/Tanev to land is another quality forward or two! Failure to do a shakeup or sign up a low risk, high reward winger will just slightly improve the team but no real hopes for playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
