incoming storm!

Benning just said in his presser that he has spoken to Sutter and they have interest in signing him for bottom 6 role.

notes that he is an important guy in the room, good leader, etc....

He also said he has spoken to Hamonic and would like him back and have made an offer to him.


Summary:

interest in Sutter but no offer yet from Canucks
interest in Hamonic with offer made

Sutter 2 years 1.5mil?
Hamonic 2 year 1.5 mil?

If they re-sign Hamonic, it’s going to be way higher than 2x1.5 because of his usage and the fact we are desperate.

Sutter signing for anything more than $1,125,000 is a waste of cap space. I am not confident that he can earn an NHL job anymore. He might be a good fit as a leader on our AHL team though.

I would rather see us pursue someone from the unsigned RFA market. Khaira or Heinen would be good upgrades on Sutter.

Id be okay with him on the 4th line and can move up to 3rd from time to time as long as his salary reflects it. 1.5milish?

Not even. Just a total waste of a roster spot. Noticed guys like Boyd, Graovac and Hawryluk looked miles faster and better than Sutter.

Sutter may have been a solid 3rd liner 6 years ago, but the guy flat out sucks now.

Plus what do we do with the corpse of Jay Beagle?

Sutter for 1 year 1.5mil or something wouldn’t piss me off. He isn’t awful in a depth role as long as he isn’t relied upon to be the 3C.

Something, something, definition of insanity, something something.

Apply it either to my caring about this team or Benning's personnel decisions.

Sutter for Benny's Bargain Basement prices would be okay, I guess. But the problem is he isn't going to be getting a low cost contract, which will eat into salary expenditures that could be utilized elsewhere.

Like, there has to be cheaper/better options available for what Sutter will be commanding.
