Unorthodox? 100%. Given the current climate and the fact the PA is in debt to the owners for another four years, this makes the most sense for both sides. Everyone wins
Not stupid, practical.
Another example, Tampa had 5-year 2nd contracts for Hedman/Stamkos, no Cups though, then 3 year 2nd contracts for Kucherov and Point (2 Cups during Point's second deal).
But of course, it's fine when Shero, Bowman, and Yzerman do it, but it'll be the "height of stupidity" if Benning does it

Yes, I believe this was a direct result of Covid protocol. Team couldn’t practice, team couldn’t bond away from rink. Sure other teams had the same restrictions, but given the geography of Van, shitty schedule and PA rules, they got the least amount of practice time than any team. That was directly related to Covid.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:15 amDont forget they came out of the gate like a tire fire before everyone got sick.BladesofSteel wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:05 am After Vancouver shocked everyone and took Vegas to game 7, hope was realistically high that Vancouver was primed to take another step last year. But Covid protocol and the entire team testing positive threw a wrench in the ascension.

Gummy Gomer with your lack of teeth, do you just throw the steaks in a blender before you eat them?

Anyway, back on topic.
Hoping with the recent RFA signings, this can create some movement with Petey and Hughes.
I still believe the $9 mil X 5 for Petey is probably fair in this market. Starting to come around to a $7 mil X 5 for Hughes, honestly don't think he is, currently, worth $8 mil + per season.

Wish Petey hadn't gone to Michagan. Always expected Hughes to be a late signing, but I thought Petey would sign by camp's start.
Now Petey is hanging out with best buddies Brady and Quinn. The Thachuks will be scheming to squeeze every last drop out of Ottawa. They'll be influencing the Hughes family, too. They'll be getting every last cent they can. There won't be any team discount from the Highes family. We've already seen Jack's opinion.
Petey will be getting full Thachuk and Hughes family peer pressure to not sign until the Hughes deal is complete. His agents will want him to hold off for Quinn, too.
Petey should be signing a contract without regard to what Quinn gets, but that isn't likely to happen with him now training in Michigan. Looks like the Petey signing is going to be tougher to get to than I suspected. Score one for the agents.

Gumming tube steaks is gotta be a tough way to pay for a hooker.
