Test #1 for Benning. But I think the Canucks actually have more leverage than it seems here. Cant think of another team where he gets consistent top 4 time with a guy like Hughes. Benning should just show him a picture of Anson Carter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that last time. 6 mil was market value but he easily would have gotten more term somewhere else. Instead he agreed to a shorter deal that expires before expansion draft. My guess is he'll sign for one year, NMC and 2 mil. That would still be a considerable hometown discount. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I like how Elliotte Friedman wrote "VAN still has time to re-sign." at the end of his tweet. Well, hopefully, we don't "run out of time". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Ok than Hamonic, I hope it isn’t just a bluff because we can move on to other options and then you might be playing outside Western Canada… or for the Oilers, which is infinitely worse… Thankfully we aren’t desperate, Benning does dumb things when we are. We have Schmidt and Myers who can play the right side already locked up. Neither is a great fit for Hughes, but we can always find another body for those dollars. Hamonic is a “nice to have at the right price”… not a “need to have” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I would rather let Edler and Hamonic walk, play Hughes, Rathbone, Juolevi full time on the left side to see what they do with it and use some of those dollars to sign a RHD to play with Hughes. If you cant get the guy you want at a reasonable cap hit, sign a 3rd pairing placeholder for 1 year, flip him at the deadline, and revamp the D next summer. Hamonic at 1.5 for 1 year is fine by me. I say avoid term, premium dollars, and trade protection at all costs. Flip him for assets if the season goes sideways. I dont want to see Hughes partner being Hamonic for much longer. Nice to have at a low cap hit but we dont need more Beagle/Roussel type contracts for non core players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
