Give Pearson the year to prove one of the poor one ends up being good. Miller bo Pearson could be an amazing 2nd line.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:09 pm Ok a horrible one and some poor ones. That better?

Re: Canucks Contracts
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.Cherry Picker wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 6:56 pm 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.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Good signing by JB. I was hoping to lock him in longer but this is a reasonable amount and length for a bridge deal.

Re: Canucks Contracts
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.

Re: Canucks Contracts
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.Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:26 pmAre 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.

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.
I'm thrilled to have been wrong on this one.

Re: Canucks Contracts
More than one horrible. Gagner's and Schaller's were both worse than poor. Though Loui's albatross is worse than horrible.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:09 pm Ok a horrible one and some poor ones. That better?

Re: Canucks Contracts
The huge steal may be a bit of hyperbole, it’s fair for both sides, if brock can take that next step and start putting up 40 goals we’ll have no problem locking him in on a long term deal at whatever rate 40 goal scorers are getting then. If injuries hamper him and he doesn’t improve much more than what he’s worth right now, that’s still a 7.5m player so not a lot of risk for the team.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:35 pm It’s a solid deal.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Hargraves is trying to be positive. Tom Schaller will be cut in a week and Gagner is gone. We are still paying carcass of Ryan Spooner thoughDonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:40 pmMore than one horrible. Gagner's and Schaller's were both worse than poor.

Re: Canucks Contracts
Warm bodies, that’s all they were, gagner is also second line winger for the oilers can’t be all that bad. Remember gagner was brought in to be a placeholder for petey if he needed time to adapt to center (or play in the ahl like linden wanted) after the sedins retired. Luckily petey is a superstar delivered to us by the greatest gm in the league.DonCherry4PM wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:40 pmMore than one horrible. Gagner's and Schaller's were both worse than poor.
