Yeah, sure don't want to ruin Benning's hard earned reputation as the best negotiator in the league...
The principle has some merit, but when other GM's/players are openly saying that this guy offers the best deals by far for players he wants...
The rest of the post is just so bizarre it's not worth quoting. Hamhuis had games where he struggled and looked a bit off from the defenseman only two years from cracking Team Canada. He never fully recovered to being
that player, but there was no point this season or ever where he was not a bonafide top-4 defenseman. And on the otherwise ****** Canucks defense, he was at all times the #3 behind Edler and Tanev.
Overstating his struggles is such a weird way to create a defense for when Hamhuis inevitably plays well for another team and his replacements (Gudbranson, Sbsisa) struggle to take on his minutes.
