What's the hot topic for tonight?

I'd think Brian leech or Phil Housley would be a better comparison

Is Mark Stone worth the 9 mil he's asked for?

Watching him with the puck, skating and the vision reminds me of Niedermeyer

Beagle is the 40th oldest active forward in the league and he's 32. I can't remember exactly but basing it off the players older than him and expected retirements, he'll probably be the 25th-ish oldest player in the league by game 1 of year 2 on that contract.

He's a 4th liner so he doesn't exactly have a high peak to fall from.

This last point is your strongest.

Nope... I don't like comparing guys to the one of a kind legends.

Your mix of pluralisms and singular is confusing so I'll read this as you agreeing with me that Hughes is Bobby Orr.

No. Maybe $8m tops but $7.5m is solid

Sbisa was so good he's still a UFA

He was (frank)ing terrible and his contract was dog poop the second they signed it.
- Lindenis#1

Its not that he was so good... his contract just doesnt seem to be a fit
on a list of problem contracts for both teams who paid him. I explained why and you flip what I'm saying.

Poor value and problem contracts are two different things. Like I said, he played 2/3 of a 3 year contract and was taken off our hands... not much of a problem and no problem in Vegas either. His current status has (frank) all to do with what I said. You know very well we are talking about his past contract.

From all my experience working in PR/marking, this is a classic firing but you're trying to gloss it over for stakeholder confidence hoping most people are too dumb to recognize it.

I'd expect he's getting his contract at around 80% to full value depending on term remaining.
- Lindenis#1

It seems that way. People seem to forget what hockey firings look like.

Hughes said today , he will sign this year soon as his season is over,
- VANTEL

I like hearing that. I want to hear Jack say that he is going to sign here right after he's done his full college commitment. Glad we have his "big" brother

More like the Patrick Kane of defencemen

This is a good article on Benning and Linden .

I agree with some of the points including Aquilini being pissed that after 4 years this is where they are.

Touches on if Canucks were pushing for playoffs they would have signed Neal not Beagle.

But no not 9 mil...that's Draisaitl money lol

Says to me that he's passively forcing Ottawa to move him....

I saw a debate about Tavares 11 million vs Stone at 9 million and Stone had better PPG, possession numbers, take aways, etc. Although I didn't go look to confirm that.

He obviously wants out of Ottawa or he has said the Arbitrator has been awarding right down the middle and wants 7 mil per

Linden is my boy, always been a fan, but I highly doubt Benning did anything other than follow orders. Which, I imagine, is Linden's beef. He probably felt that anything FA asked of Benning that shouldve gone though Trevor, shouldve been reported to Trevor.....

I think there was a thing going on between TL and FA and Benning was caught in the middle. He doesn't seem like the type to back stab . I think the owner went up to JB and said you are dealing with me now . What do you do if that happens?

I also think Aquilini has the right to tell them to go Fak yourself we are not starting a rebuild now, what have you been doing for the last 4 years. I would be pissed as an owner if the club is now looking to rebuild after being that bad for 4 years.

Benning sounds like a lying, two-faced, 'who me' in this article. He comes across like he's clueless as to what's going on within the ownership / management dynamics
