Jets fans had best thank Mr. Benning for this one.

why? Boeser wasn't the first domino and this has more to do with Point who is worth 10+ million and signing for peanuts. No way you can pay Laine 10m when Point is under 7m.

Why?  Marner got close to 11.  Nylander, last year, got seven.

First relevant, league wide trend setting bridge deal. Brock's deal broke the floodgates, and Benning set the meta.

Does anyone else have any concerns regarding Boeser's health? He's only played two years in the NHL, but he's been injured 3 times already (twice real bad). He started the 2018/19 season slow because he bulked up too much in the off season and took time to get up to speed. This year, he missed training camp and got injured again in a preseason game.

 

Has Laine been injured yet? Nope. And he's also never scored less than 30 goals in a season.

 

What if Boeser can't stay healthy?

oh, wow 

This guy is gonna get Paaaaid on his next contract. 

Projecting he will be at his peak when it’s time to renegotiate, he’s gonna beat Marner money at that time if he figures it out, which I’m sure he can. 

 

These bridge deals will eventually prove the Marner deal was a decent signing, not a bad one at all.

This gets worse for Dubas every time a new deal is announced

Not on Dubas. Him and Shanny were holding firm at around 9.5 mill long term until Tanenbaum stepped in.

 

Ownership wanted the situation over and told mgmt to up the offer.   

 

When your boss tells you to do something you do it..
