Yeah, LA had 32 home games in the playoffs over 3 years at $2-5 mil per game they made $64-160 mil plus 2 cups without paying any salary.

So very true but it hurts them now.
Its the now & the future that matters most.

Those contracts were/are all essentially immovable because the term and or $ sucks relative to the player. Any NMC/NTC’s just amplify the problem.
- Tumbleweed

Sure, it complicates. These contract types are pretty standard though so I don't see how they can be labeled Benning specials.

The only truly immovable contracts here are the Sedins. They have a lock tight NMC to the end and are a package.

Both Sutter and Eriksson have to submit 15 team lists in a couple of years and the Canucks can cover salary.

The Canucks have left a door open for a tear down post Sedins. At least that's how I see it.

For Vancouver yes ...LA not as much

Unless money to burn on permanent LTIR contracts.
Idc if fans want to pay for that as long as its not here.

U savvy?

Fair enough, the Clarkson signing will haunt the leafs for a while through Horton.

Benning is working on a one bad contract out, one bad contract in basis.

Erkisson will likely be terrible in 4 years. You’ll be the exact same spot as you’re in with burrows.

Sutter is junk. Nobody wants overpaid junk.

Yes this appears so.
We lack any real depth so its a byproduct of the owners wishes.

Sutter

markstrom

Next up, gudbranson.

That was easy.
- Tumbleweed

How the hell do you even consider Markstrom as part of that list? He is wide open for trade and has a reasonable salary and only signed for 3 more seasons.

$3.5m is way too much for a backup goalie

A 15 team list is essentially a full NTC especially for Eriksson who will be making 6 million as a 35 year old when he is eligible to submit a list.

I do agree that these contract are pretty standard for teams still attempting to be competitive though. Benning isn't doing anything different than most other teams going for it as far as contracts go.

Leafs love junk

Aka the Shanaplan in high gear.
No results yet & none forseen for the future.
Not everyone gets a 1OA in their history let alone 2.
Brown is terrible now.
Burrows was underpaid for years & hardly hurts us now.
Sutter is not on the trade market. Moot at this juncture.

It would be interesting to see how the leafs would look this season if it were so impossible to move or deal with horrible contracts.

He's backing up for 1.5


You are trying too hard.

If rebuilding through the draft was quick and easy, everyone would do it.

enjoy another fruitless TDL. Hopefully this year, benning won't be a buyer at least.

If you want you can go back the last two years and find where it was explained

Don't argue just to pick fights. The roster is not the problem, you are.

we took a ton of junk back to move terrible contracts.

doubt your owner has deep enough pockets to do the same.

brah, you rattled?

brah, you rattled?
- Tumbleweed

Nope, just reminding the world that you go into multiple rooms, Buffalo, Ek's here and are constantly disrespectful and basically a douche.

So .... rattled? Hardly.

3 points up? LAst three games.... what were they... Colorado, Arizona and.. who? Florida?

You are such a rock star!

We r not a city of lemmings paying for a bill of lousy goods.
If the Canucks suck there r empty seats.
Now explain the phenomenom of Hogtown?
Its unique to the entire world of pro sports.
Its the fans who pay not the owners.
Here we r more sensible.

and by the way.. is that your only "go-to" move when you are embarrassed and have nothing to say because I see you often ask that question.

- belcherbd

That means there is 16 teams to work with. Will they want him? Like you say,,, that's the tough part but the 15 list is anything but a full NTC. Sutter's kicks in when he's 30 which would be the first post Sedin season.

I don't expect to see either of those players late in their contract term.
