I have to be in the right mood, but I'll throw on 90125 every once in a while. Mostly the old stuff. This one on vinyl parted my hair last night. The layers.....
He's not a great negotiator. We all have enough information to come to that conclusion. - RealityChecker
He doesn’t try to win a negotiation. He try’s to find mutually beneficial agreements. Why agents and GM’s like and respect him. But you have to win some of these deals to gain surplus value. He needs to be more cutthroat. The entire Canucks organization is incredibly beta. Like wtf is the Ring of Honor? What are we honouring you losers for?

That is absolutely correct. I've often thought about Benning.
It's an honorable place to be and in certain situations, it is the correct tactic to take.
It's just such a bad strategy especially in this industry. You're dealing with athlete types (agents as well as GMs) who have only known winning and losing. They are out to win. Benning's approach gets taken advantage of consistently.
I'll put it this way: I take the Benning approach when I don't give a sh!t about what I'm negotiating about. If I care, I pretend to take the mutually beneficial approach and try to slant the decision my way. I thought everyone did that. I love coming across Benning types during negotiations.
I'm actually surprised he was able to adjust his shot. That pass wasn't on his tape. Kid ties kravtsov for most points in the playoffs by a u20 - Codes1087
So you are saying Pearson lost his spot next to Bo? 😬

You can have this attitude with your star/franchise players
Guys like Pearson need to be told that times are tight and that we'll offer what we can, then lowballed with a "best offer"
If they sign, great. Maximized value. If they walk, there are 50 other Pearsons out there looking for a deal
