58 isn't old. Would have rather seen a longer term. Eriksson is a fudking useless plle of shit that the Canucks will always regret.Strangelove wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 9:32 pmThe only one old enough to remember that joke is Micky.Cornuck wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 9:23 pm...and we can't get him down (anyone remember that old joke?)

One guy is on a term twice as long. If Boeser averages 35-40 goals he will likely hit 10 on his next deal.

Will the Canucks be able to re-sign him?

VICTORIA, B.C. – A match made in heaven? Ask Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks in three years.
For now, the two sides badly needed each other, which is why the free-agent winger and National Hockey League club ended their standoff Monday and agreed to a three-year bridge deal for Boeser that averages US$5.875 million.
The 22-year-old Minnesotan will rejoin the team Wednesday after missing the Canucks’ three-day training camp and first three pre-season games. Boeser will have two weeks to get ready for Vancouver’s season-opener Oct. 2 in Edmonton.
And general manager Jim Benning and his staff have about the same time to make the Canucks salary-cap compliant after Boeser’s signing, which caps a hectic off-season for the team where Vancouver went $1.72 million over the $81.5-million limit.
“We want him up and going so he’s ready for the start of the season,” Benning told reporters Monday night before the Canucks and Calgary Flames opened the pre-season with split-squad games in Victoria and Calgary. “So it was important we get him done now.
“I talked to him this afternoon. Obviously, he’s very excited. He’s been talking to some of the guys and getting a feel for how camp is going and wanted to be here. He’s happy (negotiations are) over.”
Benning on why getting Boeser re-signed was key for Canucks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vancouver coach Travis Green said he always believed Boeser would re-sign.
“I don’t think Brock wanted to be out and we definitely wanted him to be here, so we had those two elements,” Green said after his team in Victoria fell behind by four goals before losing 4-3 to the Flames.
“As coach, you’re always trying to plan your lineup and trying to look ahead. And in the back of your mind, you’re wondering: Is Brock going to be here or not? So I’m definitely happy he’s signed now and will be in town soon.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Green said he hadn’t decided if Boeser will have to do the gruelling skating test teammates endured on the first day of training camp.
“Oh, yeah,” Canucks centre Bo Horvat said. “He’s coming back, he’s going to have to do it. We’re going to make him. He’s not going to get off that easy.
“He kept saying he wants to be here with us and he wants to be with the team. I’m glad they finally got it done.
“I couldn’t be happier for him and I couldn’t be happier to have him back in our lineup. I’m really happy he’s going to start the season with us because we definitely need him.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Horvat 'can't wait' for Boeser to be back with Canucks In two-plus NHL seasons, Boeser has 59 goals in 140 games despite serious injuries that ended his rookie campaign and slowed the start to his sophomore season. At this point, his offensive ceiling is unlimited.
But he needs to play. Ineligible for free-agent offers from other NHL teams, his value to Vancouver – as well as his conditioning – wasn’t likely to improve while sitting out. But the Canucks also could not afford to proceed without him.
Adding wingers Micheal Ferland and J.T. Miller, and defencemen Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn make the Canucks a better team. But the organization is far from talented enough to lose one of its best young players without it diminishing the Canucks’ playoff hopes.
An extended standoff looked like a huge lose-lose.
Benning and agent Ben Hankinson never got close to an agreement on a long-term deal, and focused for much of the summer on a bridge contract for Boeser.
Even on a short-term deal, it’s believed Boeser wanted in excess of $6 million annually, while the Canucks were wary of paying more than the $5.5 million Horvat accepted on a six-year-deal signed before the 2017-18 season.

Getting a little ahead of things but can't help to think how the events of the past 72 hours could not have worked out any better for those hoping to land Barrie in the offseason.
