No idea It's literally the term for a female dog though, so I don't see how that's 'sexist' lol Is ewe 'sexist' as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in writing from what I have seen reported but the fact it has been out there in the public sphere certainly boxes Benning in a bit if true. worthless little birdie kinda talk with literally no value - unqualifiable - no source - no point. He has no NMC - it's as simple as that. the backtracking / these rumours - post-drama - as if this deal necessarily costs the team a protection spot - is a w.o.t. - he has no NMC - that is the only defining reality at this point - he can be exposed, period. there's a chance he's one of the 'best' 7 forwards - or best 7 forward assets at the time of expansion - that is the only defining element that matters imo, and that has yet to be determined.

Seriously - a team needing to move cap does not make a player a "cap dump" - it's assinine that some people are still attempting to 'finesse' this entirely false equivalency. Sorry but this is the kind of stuff that makes these forums a waste of time to engage in. Respond all you want - you tend to go around and around with this kind of stuff - I think it's probably best if I put you/we put each other on ignore - this kind of uninformed, hard-spun drama is precisely what these boards have been/are saturated with - and the result is next to no real conversation/exchange. It's understandable when you have a click-bait, lowest common denominator mainstream media that gets parroted endlessly - but you'd think that the veteran posters around here would know slightly better by now. Evidently not. Edited April 14, 2021 by oldnews 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any need to use the ignore function on here. I have the adult ability of actually just ignoring things all on my own. As to the wink/nudge agreement on expansion, not sure why it would trigger you so much to simy point out that it hadbeen reported. I even said i had seen nothing saying it was in writing. I know a lot of people who work in the media. Some do sensationalize info for clicks, etc. especially nowadays. But in many cases where there is smoke there is fire too. And the main media players dont typically stick their necks out to make something up just to troll people like you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Lot's off people are saying........................

Simulation Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 What's the commotion here? everyone in hockey from agents to reporters to fellow GM's know Benning (once again) overpaid a player that the team had no obligation doing whatsoever. example #233 as far as i'm concerned. this has and will be the Canucks reality so long as JB continues to somehow be employed through all these years. everyone in hockey knows the way he operates when it comes to finances and the players+agents are beyond gracious for it. Benning continues to give out these deals, the majority of hockey world laughs, miniscule portion of canucks base tries to justify it. rinse & repeat a leopard doesn't change it's spots. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the problem when people can't accept other people having differing opinions. They resort to name calling and getting all butt hurt like you are. Don't like my opinions? Cool. Don't read them. Don't respond to them. Or flame me for them. It literally makes no difference to me bud. Am I right or wrong? Who cares. I will eventually be one or the other and so will you and everyone else. Why let it bug you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the NMC to apply for the expansion draft it has to cover both this season and next. An NMC on his extension would not protect him from expansion. They would have to also add an NMC on his current contract. The more NMCs/NTCs they hand out and it probably gets harder to avoid them as other players will expect them too. A verbal agreement seems like a reasonable approach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be entirely at management's discretion. the whole 'verbal agreement' thing is whisper material not worth taking seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be entirely at management's discretion. the whole 'verbal agreement' thing is whisper material not worth taking seriously. It’s the NMC rule for expansion. Free agency is not 1 July - it has been pushed back to 28 July as part of the transition rules: “All SPCs which are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2021 are hereby extended and shall remain valid and effective until July 27, 2021, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.” Edited April 15, 2021 by mll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
