This is the 2nd worst contract extension the Canucks have made in the past week.

 

[Hit the post]

Any type of NTC?

This is the 2nd worst extension the Canucks have made in the past week.

I find it hilarious. He's about $3M per year overpaid.

 

[DL44]

Perfect term.. good hit.

 

[black ace]

ugh

 

[y2kcanucks]

Any type of NTC?

Not that I've seen.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Perfect term.. good hit.

Good hit? It's about $3M more than what he's worth.

 

[Cupless44]

Well it wasn’t 4 years is the silver lining I guess

 

[iceburg]

He would have gotten more as a UFA...take that for what it's worth.

 

[Fulham]

When you cant trade someone for even a 2nd rounder or decent prospect, its a good sign you should lock him up at 4 Mill per

 

[Hodgy]

Not surprisingly these idiots double down to save face.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Was expecting 4x4 so I guess this is good news in some dark, disturbing way.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Wow. Mind blowing how bad this is. I've been far more forgiving of Benning than most on here but this is indefensible and inexcusable. Just an atrocious, albatross of a contract for a 7th/ 8th defenceman.

This is an extremely poor decision by this organization. Shockingly incompetent.

 

[Draino]

according to McKenzie there is no NTC

 

[Blueangel1891]

Disgusting, and yet so predictable

 

[Pip]

Still a brutal contract, even if I thought it would be worse

 

[Askel]

Another "rebuild" move, Signing a bottom pairing D-man for 4 million.

 

[opendoor]

Should help the tank for the next few years at least. Then Benning can get fired and someone competent can come in to rebuild the rebuild.

 

[Ryp37]

Of course there’s no NTC, they couldn’t get a decent return for him on his current contract

Jim gonna Jim

 

[CRDragon]

"Intangibles"

 

[Askel]

Good hit? It's about $3M more than what he's worth.

This is the guy who defended the Sbisa contract with "he´ll be worth it n the 3rd year". What did you expect from him.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

Issue is this is bad if they do nothing else. If this move lets them trade Tanev then it maybe okay. Del Zotto is just blocking other dman and needs to be moved if possible. We cannot have 4 vet dmen and be this bad. They need more moves.

This is the guy who defended the Sbisa contract with "he´ll be worth it n the 3rd year". What did you expect from him.

The guy you quoted also thought it would be great if every asset on the team failed and stated he would no longer be posting or following the team. Point of stating this? People change their minds

 

[Wilch]

Most expensive 3rd pairing defenseman in the league.

This contract is annoying, it's overpriced but it's also not expensive enough to block Jimbo from doing even more dumb things.
