Does Pettersson re-sign this summer or decide on his future when his contract ends next year?
I love how you basically admit the Canucks need to trick him into signing with Aquillini's Tire Fire. Petterson isn't stupid, he knows he won't win here and the org has committed to a guy he is polar opposites to. Juvenile Tantrums Miller is your guy. He's the next captain and he's going to be the face of failure for the next 8 years.
8X10.5AAV
Calgary should pick him up using an offersheet
At least 10mil 8 years
Vancouver is a Swedish paradise with the sedin twins in managment and with Alvin at the helm. There's no way he walks. After myers us up next year we should have plenty of space unless we suck enough again then i wouldnt blame him if he walks
Pettersson will stay, other players around the league want to come to Vancouver now with the new management and coaching staff in place. Alvin said this himself. I guarantee pettersson stays, so don’t worry Canuck fans. This fan base is toxic and full of worries. Pettersson said himself he wants to stay, take him at his word.
If I were Petterson. I would request a trade . VANCOUVER IS A DEAD END .
I don’t care what the number is… give him max term.
He should have been traded for that first overall pick to get Connor Bedard and then Canucks will suck enough next year to get Macklin Celebrini, thats the start of a real rebuild. Oh well.
Good player, just overrated. He's not a 10 million dollar player
If canucks lost petterson, would they rebuild? You'd think they'd have to, but this is the canucks
Nah. He's an RFA. It's best for him and the team to wait to know how much the cap is going up next year and then negotiating a contract and paying him what he wants. Next offseason, the Canucks are clearing $19.1M and change off their books from UFAs. Give him motivation to compete hard this year.
And if says "trade me," he's a valuable asset that will get the team enough assets back to rebuild the team properly.
I think EP is waiting to see how things go. He probably wants to stay but is tired of terrible/aimless management.
10.5 x 8 shhh
I think he gets 11 or 12
Nucks sucks, he should go somewhere else
I do think petterson will stay. But if he decides he doesnt want to then the canucks need to completely rebuild. none of this half ass retool shit. The owner absolutey SUCKS he NEEDS sell the house if that happens.
You need to get over turtle boy and gaudreau leaving your shit city and team. They're gone….accept it
It’s been three days bro…
No more than 10 Mill/year (and 10mill/ is even too much I think). He's not been a proven consistent player. Stop over-rating and hyping him, Canucks need a true superstar, not a point-getter on an offensive team that doesn't play any D. This is like paying top dollar for an Ilya Kovalchuk, which is only a burden to the team.
He is gone 😂😅
Allvin and Petey are tight………settle down, nancy.
10x 8 is fair
As a homegrown Canucks fan, if this premonition of yours takes place, I will legitimately stop watching the Canucks…
I was born in '95, so I've only been with the team through their journey in 2011, but my father is getting old and if he dies before the Canucks win a cup… I just can't follow this team after this season if that's the case.
Rob Blake had no business giving that contract to PLD
People don't realize that loyalty means nothing now. Players want money or they want to win (sadly can't have both unless you're Jack Eichel).
Terrified. I bet he signs with the Flames 😂😂😂😂😂
Need to change ur name to Mr. Drama.
Outside of injury there’s basically no reason for petey to sign right now. The team has demonstrated an inability to win and the teams long term prospect aren’t that great.
Furthermore, with the cap rising over the next couple of years he could just wait for that and get more cash then this year
Also they have an option to just give petey one year at his qualifying offer and show him.
Sorry, Vancouver is a very desirable city, its nothing like the Calgary or Winnipeg situations
I'm pretty sure Rutherford has enough experience to know how to manage top player's contract negotiations as a 3 time Stanley Cup winning manager while mentoring Allvin along the way. No sweat required at this time.
I’m getting a little sick of this whole narrative that all players on Canadian teams pay more taxes than those on American teams. If this were true, all Canadian teams would be at the bottom of the list. Calgary and Edmonton are the cheapest places to play in the NHL. Vancouver is 8th. Winnipeg is 11th. Toronto and Ottawa are 18th. Montreal is dead last(something they’re used to).
I think he’s gone no matter playoffs or not
VAN, like the rest of Canada isn’t exactly a place to play at this time. And VAN at this stage is not contenders like the Isles with JT in 2018, and outside of that 2020 run, hasn’t been.
Swedish GM, he will sign
The problem is guys underperforming a couple of years, then shining in the last year. They expect to be paid relative to their last year, so they make it look great. Is Pettersson going to score 100+ points from now on if you pay him big? Nobody knows. Why not let him prove himself. See what his numbers are halfway through. If they are high, pay him well. If they are mediocre, then negotiate from that.
