IF Pettersson and Hughes sign for 8 million each the Canucks are going to be right up against the cap, or damn near it. Which presents some significant difficulties in the form of constant lineup juggling or running with less than a 23 man roster. Should be much easier now though with the farm team being in Abby.

Why would Benning deal with all the little fish before he takes care of the big money fish? He's franked if they don't get those two signed before the start of camp, or worse yet, the season.

I would bet that Benning has a very small role in the timing of signing these two primadonnas, it’s all up to their agents. How much can they squeeze Benning by holding out, (frank) them. But go ahead blame Benning for being held hostage, neither deserve 8 million, and you guys can stick your up against the cap narrative up your arses.

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

Then he asks for Marner money..... which is an awful contract, handcuffing his team.

Buffalo are trying to trade Eichel and can't because of his anchor contract.

Mostly because of injury status and asking price..... also deal was Signed Pre Covid flat cap.

I think the injury part comes in third place. He will be ready I think in Dec.

The main reason is the asking price of the return and then teams cap space to afford 10 mil. Whatever the reason is if you lock in a 10 mil dollar player it becomes very difficult to move them if you explore that option ( Marner Kopitar Eichel Toews and as talked about here earlier McDavid) .

If you sign someone to a 10 mil contract you better make your you want him for a very long time because few teams later will be willing to buy your mistake.

Not sure on that man... disk replacement or Fusion are serious surgeries.

I think if he remains a Saber it will be a long recovery (his choice) . I heard the recovery would be a lot quicker if he is moved. I don't want to get into it seeing I don't have a lot of info but it is a controversial injury according to some.

Yeah, I think if he gets the surgery he wants he will be out all year, or close to it.

Any time you trade a young star player, which is extremely rare, you tend to take it in the ass. Like Boston did when they traded Seguin.

It’s probably a combination of all the above, flat cap, disgruntled player, big salary, injury, not wanting less than fair value for a young star, etc.
