Thats still 2 weeks minimumHopefully he's okay and it's just protocol. Ugh

He got smoked from behind lol, no **** he’s probably feeling something
He finished the game and looked fine so was surprise that he’s in the protocol.
Hopefully it’s just protocol....sigh
Exactly. He says 6 years at $7M AAV was an overpayment yet condemns Benning for not signing Boeser to a long term contract by offering an even greater overpayment.
Canucks medical staff would never let him play with a concussion and finish the game. They are the best in pro sports.
I’m legitimately not sure if this is sarcastic or not but just in case it isn’t:
They completely mishandled Boeser’s back injury in his rookie season.
They put Demko and Pettersson on flights immediately after they sustained concussions, which made Demko’s symptoms even worse.
When have I condemned Benning for anything?
I’m simply commenting on the process and the evidence for how this evolved.
AGAIN, I think this is a perfectly average contract and given my concerns about Boeser I’m happier that a bridge deal is the way it went.
However, the evidence is overwhelming that the team put itself in a position where they couldn’t get the long-term deal they desired due to their offseason spending and getting caught with their pants down on the Luongo recapture.

You have very little evidence to prove what you want to prove, that Jim Benning and his team, after trying to sign Boeser to a long term deal around the draft, without any planning decided to go on a free agent binge and then when they remembered that they still needed to resign Boeser went "Oopsies" I think we made a dumb dumb mistake and now we can't sign Boeser to a long term deal like we want. Dim Jim so stupid.
What if before the draft they were still unsure if they wanted to sign Boeser to a long term deal or a bridge deal due to his health issues. The plan was always to spend in free agency but before they did that they wanted to see if they can make a long term deal work. Once Boeser's camp declined the offer, they said fine lets go into FA and let's spend to to max leaving enough to sign Boeser to the same 7Mx6 long (also taking about the Luongo recapture. If Boeser's camp still doesn't like the long term deal then they were fine going with a bridge deal.
Now which one do you think seems more plausible?
You understand that what agent said could apply to both scenarios right? That's the reason why you have very little evidence. There are multiple scenarios that could have played out using the evidence that we have; many of which don't have Jim looking like an idiot like you want. It's not astonishing and pretty predictable that the usual crowd would take what little evidence there is and then jump to a conclusion that fits their agenda.‘Very little evidence’ = Boeser’s agent pretty much spelling out exactly what happened.
There really isn’t anywhere else to go from there. They worked on a long-term deal for a year, were ‘very close’, and then we spent a bunch of money, things ‘tightened up’ and we changed tack at that exact time to pursue a shorter lower AAV deal.
This is an astonishingly pointless argument because the usual crowd will just keep arguing that it was a magic coincidence that we changed tack at the exact time that our big UFA spending and the Luongo recapture happened.

It will be...but rephrased as a 'mountainful' of evidence.Interesting. I would say this is an “astonishingly” pointless argument because regardless of what is discussed, it will be paraded out as fact down the road. In this case, down the road means less than a week.
Perhaps we’ll fast forward 6 months when someone asks for your source. You could reference this thread and claim to be tired of rehashing old arguments.

If Boeser’s agent had said exactly the same sort of thing he did except supporting your position you’d be saying this was case closed due to cold hard fact.
Also I thought you weren’t interacting with me anymore because you didn’t like an analogy I presented that made your argument look stupid?
You still stand by this analogy:
“If the team had hired a crackhead from the corner of Main/Hastings in 2014, that crackhead had run the team into the ground with a series of terrible trades and signings, and then taken the highest-rated player in the THN Draft Preview with the free high draft pick given to him by the league as a reward for sucking ... the state of our youth would be basically identical.“
Incredible.
Aside from your obvious baiting, let me know when you find some actual evidence to support your position. The agent’s interview isn’t it.
Guess what? The end result was an excellent deal. Case closed.
