Does Irfaan get paid by the tweet? The possible possibility of the impossible is possible if not impossible in it’s possibly impossible impossibility.

Too much drama and if they are using their tandem to gain leverage now, it could be worse later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sit him until he signs and continue to negotiate. Edited September 29, 2021 by Me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JM_ Posted September 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2021 Barry is looking for pain points. First big one was camp. So thats toast. Next one is the start of the season. The way this thing has been going, I now expect them to miss the start of the year. An offer sheet would break the stalemate, but I don't think Barry wants that either. If I were Jim, I'd use some of our local media to put a rumour out there that Jim has "received. calls" on both players, just to shake the tree and push back. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as far fetched as you think. I can concur with this to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 You simply need to look at who over the next 3 years is up for renewal ands it's clear that between 2 -3 of our core assets we deem nottouchable today will be gone by the end of next season. We can only have so many contracts paying the top averages in the salary cap world If players sign cap friendly deals a team can use the savings to build up the team around them. If not we get into the situation of a few stars with next 5o no supporting cast .... forever rolling the dice on reclamation projects. Don't get me wrong as I want both Pete and Quinn to remain canucks but it's clear at this point that the cost of doing so will have us back in a rebuild mode in 3 years as we trade away key players for picks and rookies for cap reasons It is what it is and the next 2 to 3 years must be treated as our window of opportunity and go all in. Getting back to the cup even if we don't win would go a long way to having players want to be here and want to leave enough $$$ to ensure all the parts remain intact 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could land Horvat at 5.25 x 8 years, I'd be over the moon. Like Petey, RNH is more of a winger than a cman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I can see a scenario where the agent is stalling, being difficult, trying to gain leverage on Benning (and make a lot more for himself), but the players (Quinn and Petey) might be getting annoyed as well by this point, feeling it's taking too long, they're missing out on the team building and preseason action. The regular season starts soon and they could miss games. According to Boeser it's not a fun situation for the player. The Canucks are moving on without them and I'm sure they'd much rather be with the team getting ready to kick some butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that QH and EP get annoyed about this whole negotiation tactic that they sign their bridge deals soon, and then the next time it comes around, they know how these negotiations went, and will sign earlier!

ForzaTikare Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just watched a YT clip of teams that should Offer Sheet EP and this made me think..
