40 point players are supposed to get 2m a year?
It’s not normal times IMO...
Toffoli another 40 point guy signed for a million more, it’s a pretty fair contract for a middle six winger that can put up 40 points is defensively reliable, and is buddies with horvat. He’ll help podkolzin next year as well.
Habs aren’t the Canucks either...

Contracts and cap issues we were hamstrung in the Toffoli negotiations I thought.

I’m just using toffoli as a comparison for pearson in the covid cap world. 3.25 for 3 years, taking him to age 32 is pretty decent for a 20 goal 40 point guy that can do the heavy lifting in a matchup role. I also see the rationale with the lockerroom, he’s a good friend of bo, and with all the young guys bitching about the lockerroom changeover at the beginning of the year it makes sense keeping him around.

LOL it's totally fine Blob, just take it easy!

He took a half-mil pay cut, and he's paid like a 30-point forward.
He can’t skate. Full stop. He moves like Craig Coxe. So after seven years we still don’t have any young guys to come in and steal this slug’s job?

I don’t give a shit what pay cut he took. He’s a 4th line player on a good team that should be paid under 2 million. Not shocking you love the move. You’ve been in lockstep with everything they’ve done.
:lol: Eeeeasy big guy, I really hit a nerve! I didn't say I love it,I just said it's fine.

Dealing with Loui or Schmidt's cap hits takes care of all cap problems, $3.25 is a marginal cap hit for a roster player.
You didn’t hit any nerves. It’s a dumb dumb contract for a player who moves like a glacier.

Comparing Loui Eriksson who’s about a # 15-18 forward in most organizations to Nate Schmidt, a legit # 2/3 d man on most any team is baffling to say the least. Their cap hits are similar. That’s where the similarity ends.

Actually, perhaps the plan is to expose him, as he is not probably the most eligible player on the roster.

If Pearson is exposed and taken, I could get behind that.

I guess the silver lining is the extension isn’t five or six years. Must be saving the term for Jimmy Feces.

Not surprised he was re-signed but for that dollar amount? huh?

In isolation it is a bad signing, guess I will wait to see how the rest of the summer goes before commenting on the job Benning is doing.

1 thing I know for sure now, Benning is staying on as GM, he ain't going anywhere after this season is done.

It’s unfortunate, but I don’t think a decent hockey man would come here and work for these greaseball owners.

I don't like the trade protection. He's a solid two way guy, nothing spectacular, streaky scorer. Two thing in his favour are he fills the long search for a guy to play with Horvat rather than the endless revolving door and if you flat cap look for a replacement, you're looking at the Josh Leivo's of the world.

If rumours of Beagle being done with his injury are true, Pearson can fit but patients must have run out with Jake and they are ready to stop wasting resources on his development and cut bait.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

What I read is, 1st year Full NTC (but can be exposed in expansion draft), 2nd year 7 team NTC, 3rd year no trade protection. If that is accurate, it is okay. Not great, just okay. Did think about the Beagle angle, if true, welcome back Sutter. Jake is 1 guy I could see getting traded in the off season, with COVID don't think it happens during the season.

The contract will include a full no-trade clause in the first year, a modified seven-team no-trade clause in the second year, and no protection in the third year, reports The Athletic's Thomas Drance.

The two sides also agreed the club will protect Pearson in the upcoming expansion draft even though his contract doesn't formally require it, Drance added.
Why are they going through all this with protecting him from the krackers? Which one is Drance again? Is he a meat puppet?

Because they don’t have seven good forwards to protect. After seven years. What depth we have. Rumour has it they are closing in on an extension with Sutter.
