25K in savings!

Benning probably has that saved up for the next Sbisa contract i guess :troll:

Saw this tweet floating around

Hopefully the guy keeps getting better over the duration of the contract

Market value is market value I guess

that sounds really bad lol. hope he's worth the money.

Maybe hes like Giordano, breaks out in his 30s when he is announced captain similar to andrew ladd

So is Delorme still part of the scouting team?

ya ^ hes at the games going on in Calgary right now , if i heard correctly

overpayment for sutter...stupid benning and his ass-remarks which drove the price higher. shoulda just been around 4 max, 20 mil total.

fuark. i hate the fact that we are now the laughing stock of the nhl....once glorified, now, laughed at

Full NTC for first 3 years.

Partial NTC for the remaining few years.

Benning could learn a thing or two from Gillis about cap savings

Hopefully he pans out and scores more then 40 points this year or else JB and co will get ripped again during the summer summit! Also you gotta look at this it could be a steal of a deal if he puts up points! In Pitt he was behind malkin and crosby now in Van he will be just behind hank plus more playing time on pp/Penalty kill hopefully with all this playing time equals more points!

Yeek. That's a gross signing. I thought he'd get like 2.5 MAX. How the hell did he get 4M+!
