My thoughts exactly UW. It’s a good deal for both parties. Some have difficulty grasping this. If Boeser shoots the lights out they will find a way to look after him.
Come on Micky...we all care about ya.
Boeser on a bridge is better than holding out ya? You can relax now and enjoy the show

Fred is in his own short bus on a short bridge. We’ll see if he takes a long drive.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: Canucks Contracts
That is bullshit.
Pettersson had fantastic chemistry with Dahlén in Timrå. Everyone was extatic about that dynamic duo (and that backstory is probably why the Canucks decided to get both...).
Then they went their seperate ways, and without his best buddy, Petey obliterated the scoring record set by Kent Nilsson in the 1970’s for an under 20 player in the SHL, won the league scoring title and was named league MVP as well as playoffs MVP as his team won the Swedish championship. He was then invited to play in the world championship, where Sweden won gold.
Then he crossed the Atlantic, came to completely new surroundings and a different sized rink, not a single player he knew, and he broke the franchise rookie scoring record set by Bure.
And you worry ”what if Boeser is the only winger he can play with....”
Seriously. That is bullshit.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

Re: Canucks Contracts
UMMM.
A bunch of us said many times that we'd love to have him at 8X8.
But it takes two to tango.
The new philosophy among star players for 2nd contracts:
"We want short term unless we get ridiculous dollars."
It's easy for you to say "lock this guy up long term"
... when you don't know what the other side was saying.
What if they were demanding $9.5M AAV to go 8 years?
What if they just didn't want to go long-term because they know what you know:
Boeser is going to but up much bigger and better numbers going forward.
Do you think if you were the GM you'd trick Brock + agent into giving you a smoking deal?
Yeah, it doesn't work that way buddy, great value 2nd-contracts on stars are a thing of the past.
What you want now is a fair 2nd contract, and that's what Jimmy got.
Both Jimmy and Brock's agent have said they first negotiated on a long-term
... but that they couldn't come anywhere close to an agreement.
But hey, there ARE some advantages to going short-term.
(especially in this particular case)
Those have been mentioned by others here...

Re: Canucks Contracts
I listened to the interview you linked.
Hankinson was not "angry".
Hankinson did not discuss how much they were demanding on a long-term.
Was there another interview you were going to link?

Re: Canucks Contracts
So much anger!!!“We kind of met in the middle, basically. (Benning) wasn’t happy, I certainly wasn’t happy with where he got to and that’s usually a good sign. We swore at each other a little bit and got the deal done.”
Doc: "BTW, Donny was right, you're smug."
Re: Canucks Contracts
They probably wanted $6.5M-$7M x3, Jimbro stuck to his guns and they settled on $5.875M AAV.
Hankinson : "They were stuck on a number and did not move for a long time. Sunday night Jim called and we huddled with the Canucks owner and got it moving in the right direction. There was some swearing but we got it done. #Canucks
8 year deal offer on the table in a couple years, just like what Tampa did with Kuch.Hankinson: It's great for Brock to be in Vancouver. I think it's the best place for him.
So it's not to the plan to sign a 3-year deal and get outta there.
I talked to Jim this morning, and he said the plan is to do a 3-year deal, then flip it into an 8-year deal.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
