Benning
Benning is on his way out either way. I’d rather not have a lame duck coach they bring in as a a band aid only to be let go once the new GM arrives

Agreed on Benning. He's had so many years and chances to turn this team around but have made so many shit moves & band-aid attempts that further caused the team to be even more shit.

Firing Benning won't have any dramatic or short-term difference on the ice.
But yah, let's make it easy on Aquilini ... fire them both and keep paying them, add them 2 to the 'people who are still getting paid but doesn't work here' list ... you know, the one that Luongo is on.

That's nobody's fault except the NHL's and... sort of Luongo being a dick... mostly the NHL though.

Loungo's isn't on Benning. What other team has the NHL done the same recapture to....no one. If anything Gillis is the one to blame signing Loungo to that contract and Florida getting him to retire vs LTIR

Curious to see what's going to happen with Shea Weber, he's got a million years left on his contract same structure as Luongo's and I doubt he will ever play again... if he retires and the NHL isn't biased against Vancouver only, Nashville will be eating some serious salary cap shit.

Quote:
With a resumption of his playing career looking unlikely, Pronger stepped down as team captain and was succeeded by Claude Giroux on January 15, 2013.[30] However, Pronger did not officially retire from the NHL because his contract ran through to the 2016–17 season. Under the terms of the NHL collective bargaining agreement, because he was at least 35 years old before the contract began, the Flyers were on the hook for the $4.9 million cost against the salary cap each season, though they were able to receive relief by placing Pronger on long-term injured reserve at the start of each season. Had Pronger formally retired, the Flyers would lose that ability and his contract amount would have counted in full against the cap and he would not receive the remainder of the amounts owed to him under the contract ($12.15 million at the start of the 2013–14 season). [31] While no longer playing, Pronger remained with the Flyers organization helping to scout and interview prospects.[29]
On June 27, 2015, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Pronger's playing rights (alongside Nicklas Grossmann) to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Sam Gagner and a conditional draft pick. The deal was made to the benefit of salary cap implications to each club, as Pronger never played for Arizona. Three days later, on June 30, 2015, he was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame; because the Hall only counts games played as its criteria for the minimum waiting period, Pronger was eligible for induction even though he was still technically an active player, as he had not played a game in three full seasons at the time of his induction.

Weber's getting paid $6mil this year, and owed a total of $6mil over the next 4 years. Unless he doesn't care about the money, I doubt he'll be retiring. And even if he does retire, a new CBA might potentially save the Preds from that crazy recapture penalty.
As it stands, if he retires in 2025, the recapture penalty is $25mil, lol

Man if you watch the last minute of the game and the time out. You can clearly see the difference between the two teams. Avs you see the coach talking about a play. The other side green just standing there. Jason king stands there like he’s the big shot of his glory days with the twins. Lol

Pretty sure Aquaman won't fire anyone cause he doesn't want to pay two salaries. Sure hope I'm wrong though.
