He's now an RFA coming off his $700k ELC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather Benning have a clear idea ahead of the draft what cap he has to work with to avoid panic signings. I think he has to wait until the ED is over. For all we know he might be working a deal with Seattle for them to get our '21 second and '22 first plus a prospect for them to select Eriksson (or some such combination). Or in the absence of such a deal, and they select Holtby. He needs to know how much "wiggle room" he has before settling on term for the pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree ! I'm glad to see some new blood in the coaching ranks. I would have liked to see Bumgardener gone too - but this is better than nothing and should help! Good move!

steviewonder20 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 This is a good news day: Clark gets his five years, Brown is gone, Shaw runs the PP not Baumer (https://theprovince.com/sports/canucks-travis-green-picks-veteran-coach-brad-shaw-for-critical-role) and Baumer does the PK. They also now have competent folks to take over from Green if he falters or JB loses faith in him. Next good news would be decent long-term cap-friendly deals for Petey and Hughes, then getting Clarke (or McTavish) in the draft, hearing about some buyouts, LE retiring rather than going to Abbotsford, the Kraken that JV or Holtby (I’m dreaming here), and getting a third line C and RHD in free agency or by trading deadwood and a future draft pick (keep Miller on the first line, as its harder to replace him than a 3rd C). Cant wait to see Podz here. Just hope JB doesn’t overpay in dollars and term for the rebuilt fourth line we need. Let Edler and Sutter walk or play for peanuts and beer.

Brown was under contract and Shaw and green had to discuss without anyone’s knowledge. They only made the announcement once browns contract was up and not renewed as opposed to firing brown with weeks left in his contract. that’s not dragging that’s class! I was talking about Clark's contract not Brown or Shaw's. Its a completely different situation if you are replacing a guy vs renegotiating to keep a guy. In the latter case, there is no behind the scenes stuff like there is in the former. I mean were they going to hide from Clark that they were talking to Clark about a new contract?

I agree and have been saying the exact same that ALL the coaching staff including Green - excluding Clark - should have been turfed. Not to mention Uncle Jim. We're now going into season 8 with JB and the team actually finished worse off this year that 7 years ago when he took over and we're still going backwards. This team is years away from being a serious contender. just watch the playoffs now and try telling me that we can compete with those teams now. Not a chance..................!

Haha no not negotiate. They would have asked for permission if they wanted to. But are you really so naive to think that Clark or any other coach would not know well ahead of time what their potential options would be if they were not being brought back?
