Was that the Lucic hit?

CHEAPEST HIT< MOST DIRTY> SCUM BAG......



I never saw it and didnt even know Bailey was injured

 

[puckhead]

Was that the Lucic hit?

yup. right in the fucking numbers, and no call.

Yeah, I thought so, didn't like the hit when I saw it (totally unnecessary). Hope Bailey recovers quickly.

How the hell are the Canucks even considering keeping Pearson? Unless he's taking a pay cut (why would he?) where's the formula where they're a better team next year paying Tanner Pearson $4 mil'ish? What is wrong with these people?!

but seriously - imagine paying 4th lines what they were worth.
You could afford to keep tiffoli pearson, overpay on Tanev if you wanted.

6M Ericksson
4M Sutter
3M Roussel
3M Beagle
3.5 Ferland
-------
= holy fuck too much money
20% of the cap. right there. how the fuck can you afford a top 6?

My question is do they even consider this a problem or are they concerned with how they're going to fill out the bottom six once some of these contracts begin to expire? I have no reason to believe Benning sees team-building in a different way than how he's constructed the current roster. Guys don't just change tact after 7 years in charge.

Loui obviously the very different, expensive exception here but I can't imagine Benning wants to spend much less on these positions than he already currently does which is going to make how he handles these second contracts for actually good players very interesting.

Jim Benning really is a DUMB General Manager. Like really Dumb,

that's what keeps me up at night.

Even Loui was a similar mentality.
I don't think anyone thought he would be quite this invisible over the entire term of the contract, but he is essentially a support piece

he was brought in to mesh with the Sedins...... who had two years left on their contracts, and by all accounts were packing it in after that.
why the fuck do you pay someone 6x6 to be a sidekick. Deal should have been 2 years, 3 max to see if he could do anything on his own.
yes, he scored 30 goals the year before (how the fuck?), but had been 8 years since his last 30 goal year.
This wasn't a young star on the rise, this was a support piece.

Pretty smart deal.

 

[esls79]

Does it have a no movement clause in it?

 

[puckhead]

Does it have a no movement clause in it?

goes without saying. I think "no movement clause" is part of benning's letterhead.

Should turn their attention to signing Ian Clark now

No, no, he needs to come to Calgary to straighten out Markstrom.
