JeremyCuddles Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 With players starting to eyeball short term deals (Matthews and the rumored Dahlin negotiations being bogged down cause he wants 5 years). Also have to wonder if Petey is looking at the Matthews' 5 year deals instead. It's risky, a serious injury derails your bottom line. But if you stay decently healthy like Matthews, you can make bank. Team probably wants more security in 7 or 8 years. Very uncomfortable situation not gonna lie. Hopefully I am wrong, but I would not be surprised if he wanted a short term deal at high dollars. I wouldn't even be surprised if he just went to arbitration next summer and went to free agency the year after. If he doesn't believe in our future, then we have no future. Cause he is one of the three pillar pieces we need to have any chance at contending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause he is one of the three pillar pieces we need to have any chance at contending. Petey is very competitive... I think he wants to be "the guy" and he is here, not sure if he went to a serious contender he'd play as big a role as he does here.... Obviously he wants to win and losing has to be frustrating for him. I can't see him leaving barring a horrible season with no improvement but I feel P.A. has slowly and quietly done alot of good things over the off-season and I fully expect this team to be in it come March. If Petey did leave I don't think it would ruin the team by any stretch. As long as we keep building from the net out and improving our backend this team will be just fine and if he did leave we'd likely get a good haul of picks and prospects back as well as a solid roster player or two. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted September 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2023 2 hours ago, Coconuts said: @Elias Pettersson what do you have to say for yourself? Petey didn’t want the captaincy. Huggy is going to lead this team to the cup. Petey is still going to be a main driving force as well. Linden and Bure. Sedin and Sedin. Petey and Huggy. It takes two to tango. A four year extension isn’t the end of the world. Puts Petey as a UFA one year after Huggy. In four years we are either contending, maybe cup champions, or rebuilding. So, the Petey and Huggy era may only be for another 4 years. People seems to forget that both Linden and Bure left the Canucks by age 27. So they didn’t stick around too long. Petey is already almost 25. A four year deal puts him to age 30. So we had him for his prime years. You can’t really be upset if he leaves after that time. 1 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 As long as we win, that is what matters. Two very skilled and driven players. I only wish Bure had the opportunity to play today, without the two line pass and all that clutching and grabbing. I think he would break 80 goals easily. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be all for the better , as, if he is not part of the solution, then he is probably part of the problem. I am cheering for him, but he has to show he is worth the money he is asking for and that means leading this team to victory. There is no one else that he can fall back on if he wants to be the highest paid player on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey is still an RFA. Even if we miss the playoffs we have him for at least a year beyond next season. What if we miss the playoffs next year then go on a tear the following year and win a couple of rounds. It's conceivable that he would stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it will come to that and I also don't think Petey is the type of guy to leave the club hanging like that. If he wants out, he'll just say so at which point we would have no choice. But, once again, I doubt it will come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win2024 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If the team doesn't make the playoffs I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to stay. He's been with the organization for years and there really hasn't been much growth as everybody knows. Not trying to sound like captain obvious here but either way can't blame Pettersson if he wants a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 6 years at 11 and nmc till 5th year so we can trade him before 30 while we can still get something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 ‘No rush’: Canucks’ Allvin not worrying about Pettersson extension just yet Emily SadlerSeptember 20, 2023, 5:48 PM The Vancouver Canucks answered some important questions over the summer, but many remain as the focus shifts from off-season transactions to on-ice action. One of those questions, of course, is around the status of contract talks between Canucks management and star forward Elias Pettersson. Asked about those conversations during the team’s season-opening press conference on Wednesday, Canucks GM Patrik Allvin took a tone similar to that of the star centreman who earlier this summer indicated there’s no need to rush into these talks. “Well, first, he’s an RFA so we have another two years. So, that’s where there is no rush, versus if he was a UFA,” said Allvin. Pettersson enters a contract year and if he remains unsigned will become a restricted free agent next summer. While that means there’s plenty of time for both sides to determine the best path forward, it leaves open the possibility he could go through arbitration next summer and sign a one-year deal that would walk him right into unrestricted free agency in 2025. “The relationship myself and Jim have with his camp, we talk. We talk about a lot of things. But at this point, we feel that we’ll settle in here and Elias really wanted to emphasize and focus on having a good summer and he came in here 10 days ago and I believe that he’s in really good shape and excited where we are, the moves we made this summer, the direction the team and the organization is heading, and how we’ve got to play. So, at some point I’m definitely sure we’ll pick it up here again, but as I said I have a good relationship with Elias and his agent and I feel good about the situation.” Pettersson will count for $7.35 million against the cap this year, the third and final year of the bridge deal he signed under former GM Jim Benning. Asked whether there was dialogue ongoing, Allvin said, “We basically left it open here … and we will continue to talk.” Wednesday’s press conference came one day after the club traded forward Tanner Pearson, a move that ended a long and unfortunate saga that saw Pearson undergo multiple procedures following an injury to his hand that was initially slated to hold him out only a month. Pearson now gets a fresh start in Montreal, while the Canucks acquire some insurance in net in the form of Casey DeSmith as well as a bit of cap space — $1.45 million worth, to be exact. Allvin said the deal was the result of a combination of factors, including making room for younger players that could be ready to jump into the lineup. “Yeah, it definitely was a combination. I want to thank Tanner for his five years here, especially going through what he did last year. Put his hours in and showing up here in good shape,” he said. “I couldn’t guarantee him ice time and a roster spot, and we felt that this was a hockey deal where we improved our depth in net … getting an established goalie, with Casey DeSmith. “The improvement of our younger wingers made us excited, and we felt that this was a move that freed up some some cap flexibility as well. So, we wish Tanner and his family all the best moving forward.” The cap crunch, of course, is far from resolved in Vancouver. Team president Jim Rutherford said Wednesday he feels the team is still “a contract or two” away from where he’d like the franchise to be. Wednesday’s media availability also came on the heels of the club’s announcement that defenceman Tucker Poolman won’t be at training camp after being sidelined all but three games in 2022-23 as he continues to deal with ongoing migraine symptoms. Allvin said Wednesday the team has no expectation that he will play this season, and are “supporting him and helping him in any ways to get his life back and feel good.” “Obviously, when you’re coming into a situation like this over the last couple of years, haven’t played much, hockey becomes secondary,” Allvin said. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/no-rush-canucks-allvin-not-worrying-about-pettersson-extension-just-yet/sn-amp/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Petey may only want to go 4-5 years instead of 8 (which the team will want). Something a little more "friendly" would be great, but in the same ballpark -> 5 years (takes him to 30) x $10 million per. Petey hits 10 million but doesn't go the Toronto route and he sets the team's internal cap max for a bit. He also sets himself to sign another contract while he is still incredible which at that time could look something like 6 years x 13-14 million per.
