Because he's worse than useless and whines to the media when the coach puts him in the press box where he belongs. Zero excuses for allowing that piece of garbage to waste another minute of icetime for this organization at any level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his MTL deal tho that would have been workable. I don't see Pearson on the same level as TT tho, he's a step down imo and I think Jim needed to wait it out. Keep in mind Toffoli's 4 years started this season meaning both Pearson and Toffoli contracts will be up the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm when we have no cap space and these types of deals cost us valuable and cap efficient players. I guess you forgot last offseason and haven’t been paying attention to the team? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sure am glad we didn't pay just over 1m more for a legit top 6 winner in Toffoli... 2 year deal should have been the max. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 5 minutes ago, 73 Percent said: So are you okay with letting toffoli walk? I'm genuinely curious because this can be the same scenario. I dont mean to single you out specifically but many in this thread are claiming benning didnt learn. He let toffoli walk because it would put us in a bad cap situation. Bad move. He signed Pearson to avoid the toffoli situation. Bad move. He put his cereal in before the milk. Bad move. At a certain point I dont think benning can make a good move in some ppls eyes. I don't agree with this. Simply go take a look in that Thatcher Demko signing thread. This move is not terrible, but it's not great either. I would have much rather seen Pearson moved for a 2nd round pick at this juncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Umbrus Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I may be wrong on this, so please correct me if I am...but since Tanner is not a UFA yet the team can't just low ball him and offer him say 1 mill per year contract. While the player is under contract you can only drop their salary by so much. It's part of the NHLPA I believe, it's to prevent players from signing low contracts which then would set the bar lower for all other players that are aligned with said player...when the player becomes an actual UFA, gloves are off and a team can sign them for anything they like. In other words, if they wanted to keep Tanner they were obligated to sign him for around the same price or a bit less. Another thing that may have went into Tanners side of the negotiation is that he gels well with Bo Horvat...and we all know how many wingers Bo has had to support over the years...maybe it will give Bo some piece of mind as well that he has a partner that he can rely on over the next few season. Anyways my 2 cents. Correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly quite a number of middle 6 wingers were signing for less money and term Pearson's extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't see how that was possible given the cap crunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're an exception to the group mentality here though. The hypocrites in this thread are something else. I do want to add one thing. I agree Pearson isnt at the same level as toffoli, as is his contract. 3.25×3yrs 4.25×4yrs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksCountry Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Not understanding the hate around this at most this is overpayment by 400k which isn't even league min, the protection from Seattle I mean who are we really going to protect over him? Yes I get he is having a down year but the whole team is I am willing to bet he bounces back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
