Im not talking about Petey, I mean at a 8Mil cap we have a top 2 person in the whole NHL.... another in the top 5 at 7.8 mil who is our captain. Both contracts are for at least 4 more years. Petey has to win the stanley cup for us to justify like a 9.5 mil contract. Without the rest of the team, Petey cant really do anything for the team.

Sure I can see that argument re salary amount. I guess the question is what's your walk away number, and whats the plan to replace an elite talent?

Otherwise, get Jack and Luke Hughes over here and give NJ our next two 1st rounders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, ya did. Still don't think that gets it done. NJ would be giving us a marketing dream, and you have to figure they will land Quinn eventually as a free agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik is the best franchise center for sure, but EP is a way better player at 25. Sure, but that's not what you said. No one is arguing who was/is the better player at 25. You insinuated that EP doesn't have far to go to be our best center ever. But there is a long way for EP to go if he wants to surpass Henrik in Canucks lore. If EP wins a Hart, an Art Ross, and leads us to a SCF and hopefully beyond then yes he's the best center in franchise history. But there's a long way to go. I hope he gets there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post I saw read "a long way?! he is 25.....". He still has a long way to go; he could want out for all we know. Time will tell, I hope he becomes the best center in our history.

Lock him in at a lower cap hit for the next 3 years (current window) so his contract expires at the same time as Hughes, then we can assess what we have then and either re-sign them or move 1 or both to retool for a 2nd window.
