Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Beggars can't be choosers though and that's where they're almost at with the defense. Or they could suck it up and ride it out and let some contracts expire but that may mean no playoffs next season and I'd bet that costs Benning his job.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 8:28 amOk I confess I dont know either player whatsoever
Bowgosian tho....fuck that
Watching limited amounts of Mike Futa on Sportsnet and he seems like a rational, intelligent dude. Canucks should kick the tires on him in some capacity.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Krug just got $6.5Mx7.
Barrie and Krug have very comparable stat lines despite Barrie's down year.
Krug is smarter defensively, but he was possibly insulated by strong defensive partners and a killer team defense. He's now on another similar team and should do well. However their career stats are so close it will be interesting to see what happens.
Shattenkirk has been a yo-yo since leaving St. Louis. Brodie and Schultz are not in the same category of talent as Krug and Barrie.
I can't see Barrie taking $5M or less to go anywhere for more than a couple of years after Krug's deal.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I have trouble seeing him sign for less than 5 years though. Hes 29 and this is when he is supposed to set himself and his kids up for life.
I can easily see him joining the canucks but I doubt he'll sacrifice his future to do so

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
It’s quite simple for me, Benning is approaching every contract now with Petey’s and Hughes next windfall contracts in mind, he has too. People need to get past 30 year old players like Markstrom and Tanev walking for very nice retirement contracts. Everything needs to be about Hughes and Petey and building around those 2. I’m just glad that Benning has clued in to this and is trying to avoid putting himself in a tough spot once those 2 elite level stars are getting 1/4 of the teams payroll
Nobody expected Petey and Hughes to be this good and this good fast in which for me is why I excuse Benning on some of his existing shitty contracts
Patience is required here, a majorIt’s portion of those shitty contracts will be gone over the next 2 seasons
Now it’s about not signing anymore stupid contracts. Holtby’s contract is a perfect example of a good signing, let’s continue on with that and be patient with what’s being built here
For all the love for Tanev let’s not forget his history with injuries, he’s not getting any younger.

Pulock. Hell of a player w/o buzz for whatever reason. Prefer him to Barrie (especially with Hughes has the #1 PP).

From Kenward on Twitter:
Interesting opening 24 hrs of #NHL Free Agency.
Only 4 players across the entire market get new deals with AAV’s north of $5 million
And the follow teams have made no- more than one signing so far:
CAR 0
LAK 0
NYI 0
PHI 0
SJS 0
CBJ 1
DAL 1
NJD 1

It’s looking like the Oilers and Tyson Barrie are closing in on a 1 year agreement. Being finalized. Likely just shy of $4 mil.

Tyson Barrie turned down more money elsewhere to join the #Oilers, including a $6 million offer.

Stecher to Detroit 2yrs
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I guess Barrie wasn't a priority for the Canucks if 1yr./$4mill didn't get done
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Is planning to pad his stats with McDavid on the PP for a year and then hunt for a new contract? He couldn't do that here behind Hughes.

UPDATE: The #RedWings today agreed to terms with defenseman Troy Stecher on a two-year contract.
