are you trolling me VT?

Why will people freak? Him and Hutton have been the bright spots of this season
- MaWLz

because i suspect he will be signed for a few years, for a decent amount.
people will scream over payment and ride him if he doesn't turn into a 25 goal scorer.

I love Sunday's when the kids are home

Not sure man, i think 2.5 mill over 3 years would be pretty sweet.
If he finds a way to crack 20 goals in the next few games he could get ask for more i suppose.

There is the streakiness argument though.

Either way i see him as of the part of the future.

OMG, horrible cap structuring and asset management.
Add in an NTC.
Typical Benning move.
- Whiskey-Tango

If you could sign him on the cheap for 3-4 years, i would consider a limited ntc (like Hansen got, and hope he turns into a Hansen type)

I am not smart enough to troll .

He has 14 goals, let's not get carried away here, he's got lots to prove.

That's a good point.
From what i have seen and heard i get the opinion that he merely wants a top-six gig in the NHL, not sure the destination really matters in his eyes.

Who knows.

No I think he means 800 k a year

More or less i believe that's a fair deal.

Yeah.
given his trade demand from Cgy, I don't know if you could low-ball him on a longer term deal.
Maybe another cheap 1 year 'show me' deal?

I would like to see him 4.5 for 3 years AAV 1.5

Yeah that'd be nice... I think he'll get around 2per.. Hopefully less

Probably be in his best interest.
Would he still be an RFA after that?

I'd like a morning bj every morning. ... doesn't mean it's gonna happen

Truthfully though I could see 1.5 for a1 year show me.
4m x 2 years
6.5m x 3 years
9m x 4 years

I could even live with a 5 team don't trade me there clause.

Looking through Canuck's past contract announcements.

On the Sutter extension: "I'm comfortable with [the term]," Vancouver general manager Jim Benning told The Province on Tuesday. "He's a solid two-way player and throughout his career he's been pretty resilient and hasn't had a lot of injuries."


Way to jinx it Benning

No...that's 7.5 over 3 years...

Call him up!
Time to make a serious push for a play off spot.
