And Bennings priority is Pearson at too much money for 3 years. If EP and QH agents play hardball on their contracts, which one will you be ok trading for next to nothing or futures so we can have Pearson? Since Benning has shown he cant trade anyone with a bad contract (maybe because other GM's understand the effect of a flat cap) Flat cap absolutely matters. Benning should be fired for not learning that. do you have any data that suggests flat cap matters? or are you basing things off of 1 year deals signed last year? did you look into multi year deals at all? Krieder, pietrangelo,Pageau,fast,smith,dadonov,namestnikov,grant. toffoli took a discount for sure but the others? not so much besides the point the cap has a very good chance of going up next season, so stop worrying, this isnt even close to a bad signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why 3 years was necessary in the least. TBH I'm tired of Benning doing this and I've been a supporter of his. These unnecessary extra years stink. Agents must love seeing Jims number come up. Yeah, this is the frustrating part about JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Would have rather Toffoli at the higher cap hit for the term, because he was always the better offensive player and has shown he can kill penalties really well. I guess this is more a signal to Bo perhaps, that he wont have a revolving door of linemates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll likely lose Beagle and Sutter.......if you lose Pearson too the team is going to take a step back after losing Marky and Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say nothing wrong, its maybe 500-750k too much for 3 years. Definitely not worthy of 20+ pages of whining drama queens either. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTramFan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 16 minutes ago, 204CanucksFan said: Even if TB loses Palat and buys out Killorn and Ruuta, that only frees up enough space for Kucherov to come off LTIR. It doesn't allow for Foote to be resigned or adding any additional contracts plus they still lose Coleman and Goodrow as UFAs Actually they probably buy out Johnson, as the saving is better and Killorn is a better fit to keep on LW. If they do that and Palat is selected by Seattle (with sweetener), once Kuch returns from LTIR TBL will have $6.86m in cap space. They could resign Foote for $1.25m, then have $5.6m available to sign another 7 players to league minimum deals "to be part of a contender". I could see Goodrow re-upping in the current environment for league minimum. He won't earn much more elsewhere, so why not stick with a winning team. I could see E Staal taking a league minimum contract too. L Schenn, Jordie Benn etc there are a bunch of guys that TBL could target as well as their own prospect pool to fill the depth positions at low cost. It really doesn't help them to trade away their top 4 Dmen like Cernak who are on VERY team friendly contracts. The only way I can see TBL doing that would be if VAN agree to take on some of their big contracts, which we don't have the space for...so won't be happening.

What isn't is they are different Podz could crap the bed in the NHL or be the Canucks best player we have no idea. I wouldn't put money on either side What league is debatable as second best with the khl? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 14 minutes ago, Arrow 1983 said: debatable, Two different style of play. And to make it in the NHL you got to play the NHL game not the KHL one. and this is exactly why I said we have no idea where Podz ceiling is. He might not even crack the line up or he could be the best player on the team. Podz plays an NHL style of game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlastPast Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This is going to be a very interesting thread to revisit next season. Also, to anyone that really hates the deal, can you throw out some names of some other guys you would have liked to have seen them go after? Just curious who these UFA bargains are going to be this off-season. Maybe throw some term and $$$ possibilities out there too. I just want to hear from the experts.

kanucks25 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 21 minutes ago, Junkyard Dog said: Meme time It's possible to sign good, young players to cheap contracts if you draft them because of how much leverage teams have over RFAs. It's much easier to sign good RFA contracts than UFA contracts, even casual fans know this. So why this management team has run at a draft pick deficit and seems to love to blow their load on UFAs... I'll never understand. These memes are quite apt as with Benning, it always seems to be 1 step forward but then 1 or 2 back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 CDC has really gone downhill too. People used to be critical on here , informed takes . Now it’s benning slurping and rampant homerism . But it’s always good for some great laughs provided by some of the takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
