I honestly don't think Benning thinks ahead like that. He sees "4th liner that score 10+ goals and hits" and he can't help but throw a multi years term at him. 4th line shutdown center who has character? 4 years. Gritty winger with some offense? 4 years. 6'6" RHD? 6 years at 6m. Omg Ferland who destoryed us in the playoff 3 seasons ago? Done!One of the biggest head scratching deals is Tim Schaller...we overpaid for a useless body and doesn't contribute to anything...doesn't Benning know he has to pay Boeser this year right?
We waste money on spare parts where we should actually spend money on good money and pay scraps for warm bodies.
How the hell does Benning earn an extension for this kind of poor performance?
But Jim, what about Brock?
Benning: we'll worry about that when the time comes, right now I locked up 20m on long term contracts to go along with Eriksson, Sutter and Pearson, don't rain on my parade!
We don't have cap space to sign Brock long term, yet we should not worried about EP and Hughes in 2 summer because "we'll have 50-55m" by then?
