I figure they go 4 years - smidgen lower cap, think Timo Meier's contract.Restricted free-agent forward Brock Boeser isn't worried about securing a new contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
"I feel confident we're going to get the deal done and everything's going to work out," Boeser said, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com. "I love Vancouver. The organization, the city, the fans, everything's great there, and I want to be there for a long time."
"He's a core player and a building block for our group," general manager Jim Benning said. "We have a plan in place and we're going to continue to talk with Brock and his agent and get that figured out.
"If we can move players, it makes it easier, but if we can't move players we still have a plan in place to be (cap) compliant. One option is to go into (long-term injury reserve) with (Antoine) Roussel because with his injury he is probably not going to be back until November, December."

What sticks out about this line? LOL"I love Vancouver. The organization, the city, the fans, everything's great there, and I want to be there for a long time."
Five years seems to be that sweet spot these days.
Maybe to Brock, five is long? Maybe he's been trying for max term?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:51 pmFive years seems to be that sweet spot these days.
Got a mid-summer IPA buzz going with some effervescent 'herb'and we're chattin canuck stuff; I'm figuring that Brock gets 5-6 years at 7.75Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:51 pmFive years seems to be that sweet spot these days.
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.
