We have three months before the season starts and I’m trying to see if I can move a player or two, but if not, everyone will come into camp and we’ll have healthy competition for spots."

Benning on Virtanen : "Every year he shows improvement, getting Ferland will be good for Jake. Watching Micheal and how physical he plays will be beneficial for Jake."

Benning on Loui Eriksson : "I talked with Loui on Monday, we had a good talk. Looking at all options with Loui, he has a NTC, he is still a good player for us, good 2 way player."

Benning: I think the last couple years we haven't had the size and strength to get to the front of the net, and now we do. We still want to play fast, but now we are stronger. #Canucks

With less FA years, 5 or 6 comes at a lower AAV than 7 or 8 then right?
5 or 6 years seems to be in vogue these days for 2nd contracts.
It gives team/player a *possibility* of an 8 year deal on the 3rd contract.
Most players are probably asking for 8 year deals, but most GM's probably have new CBA on their minds... Hense the shorter terms we are seeing. Once the new (or extended) CBA certainty kicks in, longer contracts will probably come back in force.
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.
