Hughes is 22 going on 23, put up nearly 100 points in his 21-22 season. Pettersson is nearly 25 and broke 100 during his 23-24 season. Hughes is also a top pick, I think age factored with potential would probably be what had him slightly further ahead of Pettersson. Although at this point Pettersson is muc better defensively, no question. Either way, Pettersson is viewed as elite and likely cracks a top 10 forward list for many hockey pundits. If he cracks 100 again I don't see why he couldn't get a MacKinnon contract. Edited October 13, 2023 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackinnon might be producing more.. but he's also on a stacked team with another legit superstar riding shotgun on his wing rantanen if EP have someone the same caliber then he might be able to match Mackinnon's output. he's for sure working himself into the top 5 centerman discussion It allegedly got slipped last night that Elias’ side is in fact demanding a 12 x 8 contract extension. All those that think He’s signing for 8.5-10 are dreaming. There’s nothing about his time here that would encourage him to take a 16-30% discount.

Not too sure the club is thinking Petey will sign for under 10. Even if he sign for 4 or 5 years the cap allocation will be 10+. Alf’s empties predict Petey signing a 5 x 11 deal. Now bow the the empties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's elite, and other teams will be paying more for the same type of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarke Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Sign Petey to 12x8 now. The number is only going to go up. I’m quite generous with other people’s money. Edited October 31, 2023 by BobbyClarke 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this “alleged” rumour about Biif’s anatomy, and the difficulty it will cause to bow, he can instead “tripod” to Alf’s empties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’d be fine with it too. I just hope JR isn’t too old school. But it also hurts to have OEL’s buyout hitting us for north of 4 in the coming years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope its true, lock the kid up for 8 if he wants to spend his entire career here. Having your 1 and 2 C's in Petey and Miller locked in at 20 mil total will be solid cap wise compared to many teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 i have no issue with 12x8 or 12.5x8.. even if it's a slight overpayment.. i rather a slight overpayment on an elite superstar that is entering his prime and proven can perform.. then overpay people in the middle 6 that may or may not perform.. once garland beau and myers are gone or even myers re-signed at 1-3mil we still have plenty of space to go for a legit top 4 defenceman. maybe even a hanafin or something (pesces? if he reaches ufa) although i dunno how they fits. i dont really watch a lot of flames 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I know we're judging this after a hat-trick game but he's on pace for 145 points lol. Hughes has looked unreal but is maybe slowing down a bit. Somehow Jack is a +0, Petey +7, and Jack has a 33% faceoff percentage whereas Petey is just over 50%. You could easily argue that Petey is the best player in the world right now stats-wise. 2 points less than Hughes in 1 more game played but look at all the other intangibles. The longer this season goes on and the better Petey gets, the more he's going to deserve. We should have tried to sign him to an 11M deal when we had the chance. This man could clean up at the awards and take home the Selke easily, but the Hart is floating around right now. Jack deserves the MVP right now but Bratt's scoring is right up there and they're arguably the far better team, and McDavid is nowhere to be seen so far. Obviously it's a long season but at the 10 game mark, if awards were handed out now, Petey would be in the running for the Art Ross, Hart and Selke. That smells like 12+M to me. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
