Looks like a solid deal for both involved. Beniers has shown enough to be counted on as a quality 2C. Anything more and it's gravy for Seattle

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Great deal.

 

[TheBeard]

Good deal, but Matty has to show he's more the player of year one than the Matty of last year.

 

[Nocashstyle]

Seems like a pretty “safe” overpay now, profit later deal for SEA

 

[SI90]

Nice

 

[wonton15]

That number is really, really nice. Good work Seattle.

 

[crowi]

If he ends up a #2C that is still a great deal. Don't really see how it could be "bad".

 

[Zarzh]

Fine risk but as a guy who doesn't really create much it could end up mediocre to bad.

 

[Koivu11]

 

[Sombastate]

Looks like a very good contract to me. Good for both

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Yeah that's a great deal. He's gonna have a nice bounce back year.

 

[Phrasing]

Nice.

GMs are loving the potential of the cap skyrocketing over the next 4-5 years. Even if these kids don't pan out, $7M in 7 years is no big deal. If they do, they've got steals on their hands.

Beniers as a 70-80 point center at a $110M cap would be insane.

 

[My3Sons]

Yeah that's a great deal. He's gonna have a nice bounce back year.

And what if he doesn't? Will you come to my house and fix that bare patch the dogs keep digging up in the yard? Hmmm......

 

[wej20]

I know he's 21 but in every pic I see he looks at least 29.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Locks in enough money for life. Seattle may have a bargain up there hands. With it being at 7 million. If he gets 60 points a year it's okay deal.

 

[Regal]

I think even with some concern over his numbers regressing last year this is a fairly low risk, high reward deal.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

This is going to look good if overall the Kraken are the 2022/3 team and not the 2023/4 team.

2022/3 they had 6 guys score 20+ and another who would have with a full season.

2023/4 they had 2 and one of those scored dead on 20.

His drop off in points and his +/- is no coincidence with how bad the Kraken goalscoring was.

 

[SEALBound]

That's gonna be great deal in 2-3 years.

 

[RickyLafleur]

Probably a good deal with the rising cap but you would've liked to see a bit more production last year to justify this type of contract.

 

[innitfam]

Seems like a good deal that will age well.

 

[Captain97]

Smart signing

 

[waitin425]

Great deal! Well done Kraken

 

[Dead Coyote]

Excellent deal, especially with the cap rising. Super young player still locked in at an extremely reasonable rate till he's UFA? Yeah, that's gucci.
