Uhhh You do understand that signing this deal, is the starting pointNice deal. If it saves us from 7x7 for Gardiner even better.
Yup. Credit where it's due, but to think this is masterful negotiating and not a player desperately wanting to stay here would be wrong.Benning did a great job not caving here but before I consider him as improved in negotiating I am going to wait out the UFA PERIOD

I think this signing may mean the end of Chris Tanev's tenure in Vancouver. I can't see Benning bringing him back in a key role and in order to upgrade they may want to shed his contract to do so. I guess it depends largely on the return but if they can get back a couple of high picks ala Justin Braun, I think they'll move him and for better or worse target Gardiner/Myers/Stralman in UFA.
Completely fine with this deal. Overpay in money to get the term we want.
Great signing.
Terrific deal and probably the single best thing Benning has done in 6 years. Great deal for the team.
Edler clearly was never going to leave because he completely caved here without even testing the market for leverage.
