TL;DR: What he was trying to say is, because Pettersson decided to wait, the Canucks have to prepare in case he doesn’t sign.
– “What I was trying to say… Pettersson made it very clear he wants to see if the team is capable of winning, and I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that..”
– “What I was trying to say, if Pettersson is not committed yet, I think the Canucks are preparing for the fact what IF it doesn’t change? you have to have an alternate plan”.
– Says he thinks Dhaliwal report that both sides want Pettersson to sign in Vancouver is true.
– **“I don’t think it’s anything more curious than that, but I should have realised who I was talking to [Canucks fans/twitter]”**
So basically 24 hours of speculation that Canucks don’t want to sign Petey, and Friedman is now saying he was just wondering about Canucks preparing an alternate plan and the thing was overblown lol.

Canucks media melting down over an innocent statement completely out of context? That can’t be!
No wonder Petey doesn’t want to discuss his contract publicly when even the most innocuous speculation causes an fandom wide meltdown

So both parties are preparing a Plan B… seems reasonable.

Friedman has been in this media long enough, he knew exactly what he was doing.

And I got downvoted for saying that tweet was garbage

If they don’t find a way to re sign Petey I’m actually done with this franchise after 30+ yrs.
It’s absurd

“I should have realized who I was talking to”? What does that even mean? We’re too interested in our star player? Or we’re too fragile? Or stupid? What fan wouldn’t read something into what he alluded to.

Dhaliwal in the [first](https://x.com/donnieanddhali/status/1711801266068676993?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw) segment also: “Sources on both sides confirmed to me Canucks goal is to extend Pettersson and keeping him here, 150%”.
