Guess we know why Petey wasn't playing tonight. He had to fly back east to grab Boeser by the scruff of the neck, force him to sign, and haul his sorry little ass back west where it belongs!

Smarter move would have been to sign veteran players to market value short term contracts and flip them for young assets at the deadlines instead of having them here underperforming for five or six years.
Hargraves would be a top 5 GM in the NHL!!
Nobody would say Hargraves is of below average intelligence!

Good for the team cap situation this year.
That is a high salary for only three years.
Not a steal at all for Benning, but he wasn’t bent over either.
But they could regret not getting him for 8x8m if they could have.
Are you kidding this is a huge steal! 2 yrs of rfa control with only a 7.5 QOat the end of it??? he’s worth 7.5 right now. A 4 yr deal you could end up with a trouba situation, 5 yr deal it’s ufa and the Matthews situation, 6yrs only buys one ufa year. 7 or 8 years would be great but no rfa’s are gonna sign those contracts with how MacKinnon, Scheifele, even draisatl all left a pile of money on the table. This is as good as it gets, kudos to jet black Jim.
It’s a solid deal. I don’t see it being a huge steal but at least Sutter, Air Thief and Beagle will all be gone by then. And it slots nicely in between Petey and Hughes and Bo.

Yeah. I think most of us were thinking it would be in the $7M range and longer term. Keeping the AAV under under $6M is really big. He's making less than Eriksson and only $1.4M more than Sutter for twice the production and obvious potential to possibly triple that.
IF things go as planned (and hoped) Benning will be boasting the services of a 40 goal scorer for the next 3 years at the price less than what some 20 goal scorers are getting as free agents.
