Good.

What was his QO at?

 

[PM]

Fair deal, hopefully he takes big steps this season as he's nearing make or break time.

 

[donut]

Pretty happy with this signing; especially with the contract (fair/not overpaid). Hope he does well this season and makes a strong case for another contract.

 

[rune74]

How can you not be happy with this deal...he is making less then he was so below his QO.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I don't believe it if Nuckles doesn't post it.

 

[alternate]

Is he still an RFA when this deal expires?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Now that's a perfect contract - doesn't handicap us if he doesn't work out, but can work as an incentive for him to do better. He has size and speed; just needs to develop that finishing touch. All we can do is hope for the best.

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

Good.

What was his QO at?

"Players making up to $1 million must be offered 105 percent"

He was making $850,500 before, so QO would be 893,025, if i'm not mistaken.

 

[a Fool]

Glad they signed him. I think he'll be a decent 4th line player. Anything more is a bonus.

 

[donut]

Is he still an RFA when this deal expires?

As per capfriendly.com, yes, he'll still be an RFA.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Good deal, happy to keep him around after his finish to the season

 

[WinterEmpire]

Sad days when a fair contract is cause for relief.

Etem know how to get set up for chances, but hasn't been a consistent finisher. This will be a good year to prove he can do it, if he has it in him.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Solid deal. I'm pleased with this; hopefully he can build on his strong finish to the season.

 

[Intoewsables]

Good. Had to figure something like this was coming after the news they weren't qualifying him. Hopefully he can build off of his finish to last season.

 

[m9]

One of the few guys who actually were productive down the stretch. Actually showed a bit more bite and work along the boards than some people thought he had in him.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Can't complain about a virtually league minimum deal. I'm ok with this

 

[MikeK]

If he could just put it all together he'd be a heck of an NHL player. Decent signing.

 

[DL44]

Good deal..

Quite the budgetary off-season so far for Benning...

Rodin -- 1 yr, $950K
Stecher -- 2 yr, $925K (ELC)
Demko -- 3 yr, $925K (ELC)
Granlund -- 2 yr, $900K
Garteig -- 1 yr, $925K (ELC)
Laplante -- 3 yr, $837K (ELC)
Nilsson -- 1 yr, $575K (2-way)
Baertschi -- 2 yr, $1.85 per
Etem -- 1 yr, $775K

 

[Flik]

Can't complain about this, fair deal, hope he shows some improvement next season.

 

[canucksfan]

Benning's last few contract signings have been good

 

[a Fool]

Also means the Sinatra goal song is back

 

[MS]

Reasonable.

Earned another shot with his good finish, but doesn't get a very long leash.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hope he continues to develop
