Bardown Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 8 years 12 mil AAv Is my guess. I’m ok with that AAV if it’s max term. I don’t want us signing him to that value for only 4-5 years. Buying up UFA years is expensive so you pay 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the price of making 100 million dollars. You damn well better be good. This is the largest contract in canucks history for certainly not the best player in canucks history. This has fan/media chaos all over it. Edited February 29 by ronning4center 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure 96 sounds like any less of a bargain. Though you know what I'll say this now. We may be surprised and he may come in at like 10.5 and I think the fan base would embrace that. I've been hard on petey the last few weeks because I'm nervous and anxious. Elias Pettersson is an incredible hockey player and we are lucky to have him. My worry is that we won't live up to him...not the other way around. There is a number that will make all of this a nightmare moving forward because we all care too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Petey is all about trying to win in every way possible and works out a cap allocation that is team friendly, like what Miller did? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronning4center Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Just now, Alflives said: Likely a shorter term then. 4 years? I thought about 3 more at 10.5. Though again he's a smart kid and knows what JT does for his 8. We may see a maxt term just under 11. That takes him to 33. He can retire or do some cup chasing and probably still make another 20 million. The young man is set to make top 10 all time money in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 16 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: If Pettersson's game is slipping because of the noise around his contract, that's not a good thing, as that is a self-inflicted wound. Well while this is true, if we had a crystal ball, there are many things we'd do differently. In the end, if management and Petey can't find common ground, he'll be history, but I'm not longing for it to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillStrimma Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 11 hours ago, Alflives said: Likely a shorter term then. 4 years? 3 years might be better since they get both Petey and Hughes contract years at the same time and the worst years of OEL is done while we know how the cap goes up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what you lock a young superstar up at as long as it's not entirely unreasonable. 12.5 is absolutely fine if we get Petey through his entire prime. Sadly you are right though, some people will definitely bitch, no matter the outcome of the signing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly you are right though, some people will definitely bitch, no matter the outcome of the signing. Such is life...It's human nature. People complain that he hasn't signed yet...so people bitch, When he's close to signing they move onto....speculating his worth. When he signs, for however much...some of people will bitch about the amount or term or a NMC or whatever. Very much the same situation as Miller was in a year ago. If or when he starts outperforming the contract or more time has passed then they will say he is worth the money or we got a steal of a deal. Time is the great equalizer. A year or two from now when Drai and McDavid and others sign bigger contracts people will relax a little. I also believe their are trolls on this board that just like to stir the pot.
