So....... Please explain how its not Bennings fault we're in cap trouble and the worst team in the league.
Someone?
Anyone?
Benning is great GM I thought. Criticism is hindsight.
How in the F is the worst team in the league for the last FOUR years in cap trouble?
Hahahahaha can’t even make this stuff up.
Shhhhhhh!!Imagine the madcap hijinks the will ensue when it's time to sign Elias Pettersson
"We can't do a long term deal Elias because we just just don't have the cap room. We only have $4.7 in cap space but we're prepared to give you ever dollar of it on a two year bridge while our Top Men in the capology lab work on a solution. Come on Elias, take one for the team eh. You know you love Vancouver".Shhhhhhh!!
Pettersson is going to cost us big time.
Boeser holding out will surely get Benning fired. Right?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm absolutely stunned that spending $11.5 million/year long-term in the summer of 2018 on three bottom-6 forwards + a winger with a career high of 35 points in Baertschi would come back to bite us in the ass the next year.
Who could possibly have seen this coming?
I know. If only we could think at the level of the Top Men in the capology lab we might rest easy. As it is, it looks like we'll have to give up high draft picks or other prime assets to get it done.But there are many saying the Nucks don't have cap problems. I had an argument on Twitter with a Benning supporter about this a month ago.
Yep, it's the Marc Bergevin PK Subban playbook.Signing Boeser to a short term deal instead of a long term deal would be a huge blunder and ruin any chances of us signing him for a reasonable number long term.
His next deal will be extremely expensive and either we will have to overpay or let him walk in a couple years.
The only right move is signing him long term now, while we can get him for decent value.
Do whatever you need to do to find the available cap space right now, put half the team on waivers, I don’t care.
Like even just put aside the ridiculous Eriksson contract for a sec, WTF did we spend so much on Beagle and Schaller last year that now because we have those two guys we cant sign our 1st line forward goal scoring stud???!!!Signing Boeser to a short term deal instead of a long term deal would be a huge blunder and ruin any chances of us signing him for a reasonable number long term.
