Allvin and Petey’s agent spoke to MacIntyre before the Pens game.
TLTR: Allvin says they want to keep Petey and they’re waiting for him to be ready to negotiate. Highlights Petey wants to be part of a winning team. Brisson said he’s going to talk to Petey after this road trip to discuss options and is open to start negotiations before the end of the season.
Allvin: > “I have conversations but nothing obviously has changed,” Allvin told Sportsnet before the Penguins game. “We want to keep Petey here. He knows that. At some point, it’s going to come down to negotiations and if it’s working or not.
> “We have another year with him as a RFA; we’re not going to lose him this summer (as a UFA). But that being said, I’m trying to plan for our team this year and next year, and I want him to be a big part of it.”
Brisson: > Speaking Thursday evening, Brisson didn’t rule out contract negotiations restarting before the end of this season but said he needs to reconnect with Pettersson after this road trip to discuss options.
> “I can’t say whether it will be in two weeks or two months, but (negotiations) could definitely still happen this season,” Brisson told Sportsnet. “It’s important to remember that Nylander was going to be a UFA, Petey is an RFA. It’s not the same situation.”
jehcoh
Gotta get this done asap. Allvin wants to make some moves to win a cup. Let’s do this, Petey!

The negotiation should be here’s a blank piece of paper Petey and just tell us whatever you want

Petey about to get Ohtani money the way he is playing.

Let’s get Hank and Dank in on these negotiations. Those two left money on the table during our last window that let us ice competitive teams.

Allvin already planning for next season. So different than Benning who seem to always never had enough time to get his work done.

“Still a priority” lol.

*’We want to keep Petey here’*
Then it will probably cost a minimum $12 million per season to keep him.
Sign that cheque, Frankie.
Unless you’d prefer another 10 years of losing seasons.
Next.

Just sign a fucking contract Petey, they talk about not wanting it to be a distraction, so sit down and get it done. This shouldn’t be complicated.
How many more reports on this deal do you think we will have before it gets signed?

He’s coming to Chicago. He doesn’t mind getting paid and waiting a few years before they’re competitive again.

This bit of the article is really interesting.

During the Canucks’ stop in New York over the weekend, Pettersson politely declined an invitation to speak about the Chicago rumour or offer clarity about his position in Vancouver.
He explained, accurately, that if he speaks about one rumour then he’ll be asked about every speculative report. Pettersson did express disappointment that these stories arise while the Canucks are playing their best hockey in many years, and reiterated that his focus remains on helping the team win.

Dhaliwal is now reporting that Petey hasn’t made up his mind, and that’s why negotiations haven’t started. Sorry to link Twitter but: https://x.com/taj1944/status/1745879679062737085?s=46
Well that’s a relief. We like Petey also.
I had a dream they traded Petterson and I was sad
