One more year and one million dollars more than I wanted. Would have been happy at 2 years at $2.25 million. I think the Canucks didn't need that third year and at that price.
Not necessarily. If podz plays better than pearson he can easily join the second line.
gotta keep pears. he's the only one who doesn't have COVID
So are we supposed to just ignore the good hes done, trade for JT Miller? Drafting petterson, Hughes, Demko, hoglander, boeser. Signing horvat and other main core players to fair deals?Roussel
Beagle
Eriksson
Sutter
Holtby
Myers
Ferland
Baertschi
Pearson
How does one team physically support that much cap deadweight and not be bottom 5 in the league? Pretty sure that's enough dough for McDavid Drasaitl and Doughty with change left over
Also at one point Gagner, Schaller, Sbisa and Gudbranson lel

If he is one of the few who didn’t get it he would’ve been the perfect player to trade. This contract is such a kick in the balls.
Yet the nucks were terrible before we got the good players (draft pics) in the lineup. All the best parts of the canucks now are all because of benning.One step forward two steps back. That's Jim Benning's reign in a nut shell.

He has been the GM for 7 years - in professional sports the entire team turns over in 5 years so its simple time frame not because he has done anything. In those 7 years the Canucks have been one of the worst teams in the league and they are trending downwards again. So guess what the worst parts of the team are all because of Benning as well.Yet the nucks were terrible before we got the good players (draft pics) in the lineup.

Well we were doing a rebuild during pretty much his entire time as GM. Not like teams give the canucks their best players so we dont have to go thru hard times. Sorry if im excited with what we have going on right now and the future with the core we finally have. This is a thread talking about pearson and the next three years and i don’t believe its some horrible contract that puts us back into the dark ages for a guy in his late 20’s that has score 20 goals a few times. Keep whining about the past 7 years if u want thoHe has been the GM for 7 years - in professional sports the entire team turns over in 5 years so its simple time frame not because he has done anything.

To be fair..the players who are having a decent season for the canucks..you could count on 3 fingers.Pearson didn’t look that good this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts to regress. Not a big fan of this signing given our cap issues already.
You were the one that was giving credit to Benning, I'm simply stating he has a far longer list of bad than good - You can be as excited as you want to be but Benning has put this teams development back with poor choices and he has wasted the inexpensive years of our young high end talent so now he has to figure out how to improve the team with no cap and contracts that are impossible to move and an increasing % of the cap needed for core players. I'm not sure how you can watch this team and not whine about the past 7 years. I play and follow sports for the rush of victory not the joys of watching a rock eater turn the Canucks into a perpetual joke.Well we were doing a rebuild during pretty much his entire time as GM.

A lot of overreactions in here. Pearson is a decent middle 6 player and a fair contract for that.
Dubas beat him in a poll for worst GM if you can believe it.Benning handing out another contract to a bottom 6 player is outrageous... their best two players are unsigned and it’s a flat cap... what the f***.....
11 points in 30+ games? And that gets you Seattle trade protection?
I’m done, down with garbage contracts from the worst GM plug in the league....he barely talks to the media and now there is only one radio station who has coverage and they are rights holders. I doubt he gets asked any tough questions...
