I agree with you but I thought that they were pretty close on the $. Not really sure though.

the money and the term are tied to each other

yes they are close on the money in the sense that the dollars per year are similar however the term changes things completely

as i said the team might be willing to give ufa money if the guy is giving them ufa years in return

but he wants ufa money during his rfa years with no ufa years given up at all and he is no way entitled to that imo

He's entitled to whatever they'll pay him. The RFA system is pretty ridiculous. Holdouts and contract matching and all that, with draft pick compensation. The Weber situation and these Subban/Benn holdouts make you realize how screwed up it is. Nobody benefits from it, it's set up to fail. They'd be wise to go about it like baseball where if they don't agree to a deal by a certain date it goes to arbitration. Cut and dry, no posturing and bluffing.

I;m really disappointed he's not signed yet, regardless of who's fault it is. Dallas looked really good last night offensively and from a fantasy standpoint, I can't wait to get Benn on the top line and the pp.

Little bit of an update. Source: http://www.defendingbigd.com/2013/1/...s-bob-mckenzie

Here's an excerpt:

On NHL Network today, hockey insider -- perhaps one of two true insiders that actually exist -- Bob McKenzie reportedly stated that the Stars and Benn are just a few hundred thousand dollars apart on what appears to be a five-year contract. McKenzie also stated that he expects Benn and the Stars to reach a deal much sooner than PK Subban or Ryan O'Reilly, a sentiment that was echoed by Elliotte Freidman today on his 30 Thoughts article:

Benn is eligible for salary arbitration next summer and Skinner's contract would be a comparable. Dallas doesn't want to go that high unless UFA years are involved. You can certainly find some similar players making less, but the largest contracts usually become the flashpoints. So there's a philosophical difference, but you don't get the sense there is a personal one, unlike his unsigned brethren.


Hurry up Benn! Just sign, if for no other reason than because you're hurting my fantasy team!
