I like this deal. The Canucks can still find a cheap replacement for Joshua to play the 3rd line, and elevate Joshua himself to ride shotgun with Petey (and Guentzel?). Joshua would provide the physical presence and the grit to give the Petey line some room to operate their magic, and he himself can continue to grow into a 25- or even 30-goal scorer.
The endorsement thing is interesting. One wonders if this could be a bigger part of NHL contracts moving forward. Steve Dangle suggested it made sense for Max Domi to re-up with the Leafs even at a lower salary because he (and his dad) can make bank doing local endorsements.

4 years may be a bit much but a great signing. Looking forward to another good performance.
I think 5 years at 2.75 would be better
Tocchet has to get more out of him to make it worthwhile. He was a 4th liner, but needs to become a 3rd liner. Get better skating, etc…
bit of an overpay. wanted to see 1.75, 2.5, 3 million over 3 years. Feels like another Jay Beagle overpay
I'm not convinced those saying overpay watched many canucks games this year. Dude played like a 4.5 million player.
His style is built for the playoffs and I think he will be a huge force for us and worth every penny maybe a bargain in future years!
Way too much money. If we'd cut Blueger and Joshua loose, we'd have money for Guentzel.
4 years a bit long he will be 32 power foreards dont have long careers
Let’s gooOoOoO! 🥰🔥
32 points : 3.25 million pretty on par….a lot of nhl salaries for forwards is based on the formula of 1 million per 10 pts……
Alvin continues to do nothing but win. Having competent managment for a change is so refreshing
He definitely took a discount for us! Thank you Dak! Let's Win that cup baby. "Let's keep this thing going" – Joshua

Sounds like the players are giving a hometown rebate? They love Vancouver and the coaching staff I think.
4 years is the perfect term.

Always good to hear the Agent's perspective. Thanks.
Once again the Canucks are throwing there money away
Ecstatic to have Joshua back. That 3rd line carried us for a lot of last season.
lets pick up one of these
william carrier
anthony mantha
jake guentzel
joe pavelski
patrick kane
tyler motte
gostisberhe
debrusk
he also makes garland worth his contract. garland was so lost without dak.
Thought they had Rich from Red Letter Media on for a second, talking hockey. That would have been interesting…
This management team is soooo much better than Benning. That guy was soooooo bad. What a difference. Go Canucks Go
He sure as hell worth more then Mik was getting. Good they shipped him out and got some money to resign Dak and myers.
