[Wandering Cynic]

Steal of a contract, considering all of the crazy deals going out there.

 

[ginner classic]

Wow. Perfect.

 

[WSS11]

2 years @ 6MM AAV. Great deal for both sides.

 

[kcunac]

Avoids needing protection in expansion draft. Contract ends when Pettersson and Hughes need new deals. Good job Jimbo.

 

[Elias GOATtersson]

6 Million AAV, that's a steal! Good job Jimbo, now go sign Myers and Gardiner for $100 million/5 years each

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

2 years, 6 million.

Good deal for the Canucks. He's their best defenseman, and they didn't give him too much term.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Thank god. I was terrified of a long term deal with him and Detroit. Not becuse he's a bad player or anything, but he's just not a guy you give a huge term to at this point in his career. Great deal by Vancouver.

 

[Runner77]

So much for all those rumors about how he wanted 3 years or he was gone. Good for both parties.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Fair deal, avoiding that 3rd year could be big for Vancouver

 

[Jumptheshark]

So much for all those rumors about how he wanted 3 years and an ironclad NTC.

The problem was that 3rd year. My guess they have a verbal agreement for after the expansion draft

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Strange to see Canucks re sign him... Seems like every season he is asked to waive his NTC at the deadline but he declines it. And then his contract finally ends and they re sign him? Atleast its just 2 years

Is it a NTC again?

 

[Crabapple]

Very nice deal. Edler anywhere else would just be strange

 

[Bologna 1]

really well done, benning.

 

[Seatoo]

Holy crap, Benning didn't f*** this up!

 

[InfinityIggy]

Seems good. Pretty low risk for the Canucks and Edler keeps their d-core looking respectable. (fun fact, Canucks had 14 different D on their roster at various points this past season)

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

So much for all those rumors about how he wanted 3 years and an ironclad NTC.

He quite possibly did. Things change. Just because word leaking out at one point doesn't match the end deal, doesn't mean the info wasn't valid at the time.

 

[FlameChampion]

2 years is nice. Good for Benning.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

It's good to see him get a contract when he wanted to stay.

 

[Boondock]

So much for all those rumors about how he wanted 3 years or he was gone. Good for both parties.

I'm sure that's what he wanted. I guess he would rather be in Vancouver then anywhere else because when push came to shove he backed off the demand.

 

[Syckle78]

Should of went and tried to win a cup. Players that don't care about winning a cup are odd.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Exact contract I wanted Montreal to give him. Too bad, but congrats Nucks fans.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Nothing to hate here. Term is perfect and the dollar amount won't really matter

 

[Bgav]

Great deal. Pretty surprised

 

[Cor]

Good for the Canucks to lock down Nikita Zaitsev's partner to a contract
