Popular Post Gaudette Celly Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 2 minutes ago, PuckFather said: This HFboards was hoping Boeser would hold out!!! He calls himself a fan. I laugh at people saying "what a GM" at this, yet when complaining about the GM in other threads that's seen as a no-no. I think Benning's track record of building the second worst team in the NHL over the last 4 years speaks for itself. Anyway...I kinda hoped Boeser would hold out, but clearly he caved. The AAV is amazing for the team, even though I hate the idea of a bridge deal. To get him under $6M is a bargain. The issue will be in 3 years when you'll have to re-sign him for over $9M most likely, when you could have tried to get him for $7.5M long-term this year (but couldn't because the GM capped out the team).

You want an example? Someone in the Boeser thread suggested that he "needed to think more about his father" when negotiating this contract. You don't see anything wrong with that? Not to mention all of the claims that the player was "entitled", especially considering that he signed a very fair contract at the end of the day. That's your gotcha example? It's a little unfeeling, but if that's the worst to come out of that thread, then that's a new high for this place. See the post below, I do have a long ignore list and may have missed a lot of the negative comments. Edited September 17, 2019 by stawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just odd to me that a winger got significantly more than those defensemen. Brock really didn't have any negotiating power given his contract status, so I wasn't expecting to see the AAV over $5-5.5M on a 3 year term. Nothing to lose sleep over though. I'm glad he's back. I think the state of the team (being a bubble team on paper) and the overall restlessness of the fanbase gave Brock's agent a bit more leverage.

Warhippy Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Solid bridge deal. Yes I did check HF Boards. Good deal, but if you're a fan of this player...you shouldn't be. Terrible deal. McAvoy was the better player (Benning whiffed on that as usual) and he signed for cheaper It's hard to give a passing grade on an user failure but even Ralph does more than eat crayons some times Honestly....no matter how leak things look, this forum has never gotten near as bad as that cesspool of absolute crap. Honestly hope in this life to meet y2k and his amigo so I can laugh at them long, hard and frequently. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pointed out , the Lu recapture and erikkson contract will be off the books by then so...... `That's not my opinion. That's anti-Benning user on HFboards.

Yeah, there was a lot of crap being thrown here, but at the end of the day, it's difficult to see how anyone can be upset over this deal. Yet I'm sure HF and Canucks Twitter will have people bitching about this deal, saying it was one of the worst things Benning has ever done.

Obviously personal attacks are out of line though. So what's your point? If one player is unfairly attacked, then they should all be fair game?

So sick of this nasty bipolar fanbase. I personally think Jake Virtanens going to carve out an NHL career, and when you look at all the players that don't make the show you start to appreciate him a little more.

Metal Face Doom Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 So many people look so dumb the last few weeks. Kid took less than a lot of us thought. JB has done an amazing job this off season. Easily his best one to date. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
