That's a bunch of BS, he said he wants to win as he should.

He said he wants to see where the team is at in a few years before commiting. He should shut the (frank) up and be a leader and not a follower

What he says to the media and what him and his agent say are two completely different things.

Elias going for a short term 8m contract means he's betting on himself to be a 10+ million dollar player when the contract ends rather than sign a deal like Mackinnon, rantanen, Point or horvat and be considered a "steal" contract by signing a longer term for less.

Hes not being a leader or a follower, that's just your interpretation by him saying he wants a short term contract, which is a smart play by him and his agent.

Benning's actually done a good job this off-season of cleaning up his own mess, hopefully they can get Petey and Hughes signed to have a full competitive roster. I think they can compete for a playoff spot easily if they everyone's on good ship Benning

What Benning did this off-season was, quite frankly, remarkable. Didn’t think it was possible. But of course, as you mentioned he was cleaning up his mess to a large extent

I don't either, don't like the taste. I've seen how non-functional coffee drinkers can be without caffeine, I save it for only when I really need the boost.
