coryberg Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 10 minutes ago, iinatcc said: But don't player agents still use comparable contracts the club has given out regardless who the current GM is? It's like If my manager hired me with a salary of $60,000 a year. Even if that manager leaves other employees in the same or similar position as myself would want the company to give them a similar salary By that reasoning Loui got 6 million to average 10 goals and 20 points a year meaning every agent should ask for 6 million dollar 4th liners contracts.

It will be a talking point. End of the day ownership allocated those funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked the slamming of the player because Jim liked to overpay. Yeah. I think it was in Sportsnet that they said Benning has a tendency to get a particular player he wants instead of getting a player that might cost less and had similar qualities. I guess another analogy is why go Maldives (which is very expensive) for a vacation in the beach when there's probably cheaper alternates ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Motte is the engine that drives our fourth line. He gives them an identity. We’ve seen how important our fourth line has been setting the tone with their aggressive forecheck in this run. Plus he’s a great spokesman for mental health. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great player, but unless he's signing a pretty friendly deal, we just can't afford him if he's asking for 2.5+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somehow Poolman and Dickinson can be traded I would consider going 2 million for 2 or 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after a trade but it looks like Miller’s gonna stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm secretly hoping Benning becomes GM in another team gives the Canucks some picks for them Can anyone say 1st round for Poolman ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjick29willkillyou Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I do not disagree with his agent's take on Motter, but this is his job. No different than when Diamond was pumping Tram's tires as a possible 2-3 dman when we all know he is more of a 5-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour/talk going around that if EDM collapses and either fails to make playoffs or has a really poor showing in them, that Holland will be shuffled into a head office job beside Nicholson and they will be hunting for a new GM. I wonder what a Benning GM'd EDM club would involve in terms of turnover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Is Motte worth more than Highmore and Lammy combined? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
