That’s dumb. Should be a rule on Base being higher than SB. Or SB be a percentage of Base up to a maximum.

Thank ROR’s agent for that structure 🥴

It seems player agents' full-time job is to invent new ways for GM's to be stupid.

I'd like to see the details of how Marner's agent gets paid. Does he get his commission in one lump sum each year because Marner gets paid that huge signing bonus each July? If so, there's the primary motivation for something that dumb getting signed.

That will be a hard contract to move, if they ever need to.

On the other hand, if they win even a single cup with this group, this core + management team will be considered heros and forgiven all manner of sins.

Let's see how much it changes under the next CBA, they will have to start finding new ways to circumvent the new rules.

Yeah...don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they have the depth to win a cup, even with the $40M+ forwards. Just if they somehow manage to...hero’s.

Back to the more interesting topic of the Canucks...do you think this now provides sufficient market clarity that Boeser & Benning will get their deal done?

The new model, 80% of the cap on forwards then fill the d-line with castoffs and the waiver wire.

I really don't know where it goes . I have my thoughts on things good and bad. I will leave this up to the parties involved.

I think it is too early for Brock to get a huge raise but I understand his thinking.

When Green came out and said 'this is the best conditioned camp' the first one i'm sure we all thought of was JV.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that he'd had a good off season.
Now he's being called out

At least we have enough players this year to push for spots.
If JV or LE can't cut it...cut em.

How hilarious would it be if Reid Boucher actually made the team.
He's my dark horse this year.
Forget goldy or JV or Sven.

The mighty Boosh!

I sure hope all agents don't want the contracts in bonus money now .

It may have been impound. One or the other. No one else was in the truck.

I like Landon F but I did not read they article yet seeing his dad Ray and Kuzma both get paid by the TSN 1040. It might be a bit bias but I hope the kid makes it

Green explained its an agreement they had with JV.

Seems like a development lesson of accountability for JV is good enough is short of excellence and that is not the benhmark for this team.

Actually doesn't bother me at all. If a team is dumb enough not to have any outs then that is their problem.
