I understand your concern. To some degree, I share it. In particular about the distinguishable necessity, of having Boeser participating from theCherry Picker wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 12:48 pm This is the most important contract Benning has ever had to negotiate. If he gets bent over by Boeser’s agent, the team is screwed when Pettersson and Hughes need contracts in two years. He needs to make a final, fair, well-reasoned, completely justifiable using comparables offer before training camp starts. Then he needs to warn the agent that the offer needs to be signed before training camp begins or it will be off the table and only a lesser offer will be available. Then he can’t blink even if Boeser doesn’t sign and sits out the season. If he gets bent over and increases the offer once the season starts, Pettersson and Hughes will have their game plan, and the Canucks will be hooped. If he sticks to his guns, Pettersson and Hughes will know the situation when it is their turn. If he does a good job getting the kids to sign team friendly deals like Boston seems to always get, he can build a winner. If he caves like Toronto always seems to do, the Canucks will not be able to build a deep roster and will have more difficulty competing long term.
I think NHL players are finally copying the NBA style of superstar contract - 4/5 years, and maximizing earning potential on the 3rd contract - that's when they'll really hit it out of the park financially.
One would, or should, hope that well before the next CBA talks start, (still up in the air as to when), That it is brought up Sportsnet are notESQ wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 2:13 pmI think NHL players are finally copying the NBA style of superstar contract - 4/5 years, and maximizing earning potential on the 3rd contract - that's when they'll really hit it out of the park financially.
Mackinnon is the cautionary tale - superstar in the making, locked in too early. Imagine if he'd signed a 4 year deal? It would have been expiring this year, probably doubling his salary for the next 4 years.
I don't think its a coincidence that all of the key RFAs haven't signed, in the same year that NBA UFAs have cashed in like never before - obviously that includes Kawhi, but freakin' Kevin Durant got a 4 year $40 mil contract, when he won't play at all in year one, and the 4th year is a player option!
I wonder if the franchise tagging is something the players will fight for in the next CBA, and that could also influence the RFAs.
If that happens it'll be like Toronto when the Raptors finally won a chip, the legions of thousands upon thousands of hidden fans will drown out the then small crowd of grumpies.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 2:42 pm If either of the Pod or Hog are the real deal the timing of them stepping in and contributing right away couldnt be better for the organization. They might even be the final pieces coming online at just the right time both on the ice and under the cap limits to push this team into contention.
Theres going to be some seriously fucked up nutcases roaming the streets of vancouver if bennings team wins a cup. Theyre so entrenched in their points of view they would rather the team suck than be wrong. Retards
