The "fake news" is out to get meee!! but that too, I suppose, is just part of Benning's 'plan', right. Dnr rarely do If I had a yawn for this, it would be more than I usually give towards your perspectives. Really, have the last word and get it out of your system, if you need to, do your thang.

He came from Boston, remember? He just signed Micheal Ferland, J.T. Miller, Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn. Those guys aren’t smurfs. They are big bodies who play a heavy game. This team is going to be quite different this year than in prior years. It’s gonna be a hard team to play against and we are going to have a nasty edge to our game. Petey and Brock will be playing with one of the big boys. Miller or Ferland. Guaranteed. That’s why they are here. My bet is Ferland gets first dibs. The days of Petey being rag dolled without retribution are over. Imagine Matheson trying to rag doll Petey while Ferland and Benn are on the ice. He’s not going to be able to just skate away to his bench unharmed and get away with it. It ain’t happening anymore. This is is a new team with a new plan and a new direction. Benning has gone all in. He has added the missing pieces. Playoffs here we come. I’m pumped. I can tell you Ferland won’t be a coward like Guddy and Sutter were so many times last season we had guys that were not team players enough to standup for smaller teammates Guddy is gone, just have to dump Sutter now Matheson will be conveniently injured and will miss all games against the Canucks next season.....oh and that punk cock a nemi in Montreal better watch his back as well these new Canucks are gonna leave a mark ..... literally Edited July 12, 2019 by canuck2288 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see where players find chemistry. Shot attempts from the D is going to go through the roof, IMO. Need some accuracy though... and no shin pads, Eddy. Keep your shin pads on Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest problem with a 2 year contract would be having to reup EP QH and BB all in the same year. I'd say it needs to be a 3 year term minimum. But yeah he's not signing for under 6.5 I'd imagine even in a bridge scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him going to a Bentley dealership with a 10K budget and wondering why he can't get a deal done. But, but, but his wife is a lawyer, so that makes him smart too.

I'd say it needs to be a 3 year term minimum. But yeah he's not signing for under 6.5 I'd imagine even in a bridge scenario. they do have 6 UFAs and over 20 million in cap expiring that summer - Edler, Sutter, Baertschi, Pearson, Benn, Stecher - good support/foundation, but some not necessarily core or irreplaceable players at that point. Additionally, LE - if he's (unlikely) still here, would have one year of term remaining. Even a two year bridge is probably manageable - and moreover, the precedent of a bridge might apply - even to that emerging core, particularly if they are competitive or contending and want to continue to. Players like Boeser - cashing in on an 11 million bridge at this point - is pretty much more money than they could possibly spend in two years, even if they were to set up each and every member of their extended family - that is a whole lot of security/financial certainty, even for a bridge. I hope Benning sets that precedent here. When I look at Horvat, I'm not necessarily concerned about him walking, but I'd rather have had him on a bridge and then bought more years of his free agency - as it stands, he expires in 4 years, at age 27.

I dont know if you noticed but Bo out scored him. Look at who they play on a line with and the minutes they play. And Bo still put up more points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would show character and a willingness to build the team. A true show me bridge deal. 5.5 is still crazy money., Then we re-up him for big bucks if he can prove he is that big money guy. The system has to buck at some point. Bridge deals need to become the norm again. If brock scores 35-40 twice give him the world. Bridge deal or bust. Ha man.... I wouldn't take a 28% pay cut. Why should he? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say that he shouldnt have played in the finals is absurd!! He scored the 2 goals in the final game! 1 hour ago, Primal Optimist said: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
