Not a Boeser fan but I'm very ok with the deal. Love the term bucks are fine.

Can't be stressed enough how big of a deal many Canuck fans make things out to be that aren't a big deal at all. 😏

Ya, over paying players, long terms and NMC's are not worth complaining about.

Boeser left money on the table to re-sign.

JTM is older, coming off a career year, he's going to get paid by someone.

I love the 'other teams do it' excuse.

Speaking of salary cap, not sure why capfriendly doest have Halak's 1.25 million dollar bollar overage, posted under dead cap.
If Allvin keeps the band together, they will be into the LTIR cap room from Ferland, by the end of October.
Also, there is somewhere around 2 million in potential bonuses. Team can't keep pushing these payments into the following season.

His QO was 7.5M

He signed for 6.65M

You do have a list of excuses. I'm sure you can't be bothered to actually look around and see. Chicago isn't trying to trade Debrincat because they owe him 10M on his QO. Minny wasn't forced to trade Fiala because of their buyouts. Hurricanes and Rangers aren't at all worried about offer sheets for Necas and Kakko. None of these things are possible because they are exclusive to the Canucks. TB hasn't asked Mcdonough to waive his NTC because they have tons of cap space.

Benning was actually running every front office.

His QO guaranteed he would make 7.5 million, he signed a contract that guarantees him almost 20 million.
I don't see how that is leaving money on the table, when he walks away with an extra 13 million in guaranteed money.

Half the league but still exclusive to the Canucks.

Toronto shopping Mikhleyev rights because they have lots of cap space to re-sign him?

Nobody is overpaid on Toronto.

Meh. Wasn't perfect. Could have been better, could have listened to us and been worse.
