Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] Tanner Pearson signs extension with the Canucks (3 years, $3.25M AAV)

[crazychimp]

Makes no sense. How bout get rid of the bad contracts you already have signed first? Benning gonna Benning.

 

[123offtheglass]

Bad deal but not as bad as it's being made out to be, he's having a down year.

2.5m x 3 would have been reasonable.

 

[Fatass]

Seriously, we really deserve a Puke emoji for these Benning signings.
Loui
Beagle
Rousell
Ferland
And now Pearson. PUKE EMOJI!

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Imagine letting Toffoli walk, then signing Pearson to basically the same deal (1m less)

When I first saw it I thought great deal! Then I realized I got the That 70s Line wingers confused.

 

[TSA0402]

Extending Pearson to a player friendly deal, letting Toffoli walk.

Makes perfect sense!

 

[Pip]

This guy is declining hard. Terrible contract, especially considering how many decent middle six forwards will sign for cheap in the offseason

Jim driving through the streets of Vancouver in his '64 Impala, listening to some Ice Cube, big smile on his face...

 

[Nucker42]

11 points

eleven points

why?

 

[GJB]

Just bad. Bad in every single way. This is a player with 11pts in 33gp this season. And he is rewarded here with a 3yr contract....

Pearson has regressed to a 3rd line player, most games he is invisible.

Don’t forget Sutter!

 

[Bertuzzipunch]

Not sure why everyones up in arms for a 3rd liner(that can play 2nd line at times) getting just over 3 mill. Lots of 3rd liners make this with similar numbers.

 

[Brown Cat]

At least its only 3 years, but a NTC/NMC is a killer especially if in an expansion draft year.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

Being a Canucks fan is so painful. Really glad Petterson and Hughes primes will be spent mismanaged by our dullard of a GM.

Beagle and ferland will be on LTIR next year and rousell is a UFA. Yeah Loui sucks but just one year leaft

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

The 3rd year is the killer. Would've been acceptable as a 2 year deal IMO, or an AAV around 2.5.

In isolation the contract isn't horrific - not as bad as all the others - but its just adding another contract to the pile that's a year too long.

Relative top dollar when we could've really used a bargain. Par for the course with Benning.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

f*** Jim Benning. f*** right off. f*** off until you can’t f*** off any more.

 

[Nucker42]

The city already on fire with Pearson signing but if Sutter is brought back the Canucks will lose a lot of die hard fans...

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The Vancouver Canucks are a joke of a franchise. Perhaps joining the Seattle Mariners and the Buffalo Sabres as one of the worst run pro-sports franchise in North America. Idiotic owners. Stupid management. The fans should defund them by watching a demolition derby.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

I’m so thankful for Dubas - when I read stuff like this.

who cares?

 

[McDoused]

This deal is fine. He can be a 40 point guy.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

This must be hard to stomach after letting Toffoli walk for a ~$1M difference in AAV.

Vancouver is circling the drain.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Doesn't seem that bad.
Preferably it would have been 1-2yrs and not had any trade protection but it it hardly seems terrible.
The guy is 28 and has been pretty consistent in his career, this is a weird year so I wouldn't read too much into 33 games.

 

[notsocommonsense]

He has 11 f***ing points, is 29, Can’t skate anymore

this is just awful

Absolute garbage move from a garbage GM. . I’ve defended Benning on here before but after the shitshow that was out offseason and now another overpaid player for our bottom 6 on a downhill trajectory, I’m beyond done with this shit

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

The city already on fire with Pearson signing but if Sutter is brought back the Canucks will lose a lot of die hard fans...

LOL. Sure why not.

Wright this way at the 2022 draft Jimbo.

Benning after seeing the Beagle, Roussel and Sutter contractors sputter out and handcuff the team for years:

"Let's do it again."
