It didn't have to be a big one. Any discount collectively by your top guys will trickle down and add up. If 6 of your top guys takes $200k less, that's $1.2m extra cap to work with. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 i don't see any clauses in his contract. no trade protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Lou Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I would've liked abit of a lower cap hit. I predicted 11.25 over 5... I am happy with the 8 yr term tho and 11.6 isn't terrible. Nit picking I know lol. Go get Hronek locked in now somewhere around 7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bob Long Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 1 minute ago, HKSR said: I'm good with that, but it's the debate I see surfacing. No matter how it's spun, I think he took a discount. The amount of discount is irrelevant to me. He did take one, like Miller did. But even more impressive to me is he made the longest commitment possible. Fans should be pretty happy about real talent wanting to be here, we haven't had that luxury that often. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Hronek Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 2 minutes ago, Nuckin Kingsly said: He left money on the table tho, he is a center that has been in the selke conversation the last couple years. The cap is going up and he could have gotten more. So that’s what makes it a discount. Yes he has been a different player the last couple months, but he’s also playing with mediocre wingers i agree he is the 4th best Canuck at the moment. It’s not a huge discount, but it is one, and I think fans should be happy to See it. He will become the first Swedish born player ever to record back to back 100 point seasons if he gets there this year and is only 25. You might be right but here's how I'm seeing things right now: Along with Pettersson, comparable cap hits now include MacKinnon, McDavid, Panarin, Matthews, and Pastrnak. I love Pettersson, but can we honestly say that as of this writing, Petey belongs in that same weight class? I'm not so sure. Petey is going to need to step up. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highandinside Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Fair deal for both sides. As the cap increases this should turn into a favorable deal for the club and this buys out alot of UFA years. There is no doubt that the noise of the contract was weighing on him and hurt his play on the ice..Now hopefully he can focus on helping the team win a championship.

Hope Hronek does the same and our core will be together for several years. Which means we SHOULD have several solid attempts at a cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I'm content with this number. Would have liked it lower, like 11 even, but let's not be too picky. Hopefully he can get his mind back on the ice and start potting some goals. Like bring back the one-timer already. I don't care if it's blocked, a couple of 95+ mph shots to the shins and they'll be flinching all night long. Bobby Hull used to say, ' the first time I come down the ice I shoot at the goalie's head and I don't care if I hit it or not. The next time down it's low and away cause the goalie will be leery of another head shot ' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern media will be devastated not having this Canucks "drama" to talk about anymore. lol now the media will stir up something else “ Joshua wants out” or “ Hoglander is jealous of his best friends new contract and demands Peteys Swedish meatballs on the plane ride to Anaheim” super happy love the deal, love this team!

Probably made the trade offer discussion pretty intense and clearly shocked Petey into action. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Matthews will be over $13m next year, and McDavid will be way higher soon. Petey is a solid $1m behind Mackinnon. The only guy he needs to really play up to is Pastrnak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo, it doesn’t need to be a million or two less, that’s a big chunk of money. But you have your top guys like miller and petty taking a little less, that will show the other players to follow. This will allow signing a 2 mil player instead of a league minimum. Thats great business and I love this management 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we need to sort out Hronek. Hopefully he leaves a little bit on the table too. 11.6 is a steal. That’s a fantastic deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
