Popular Post spook007 Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 15 hours ago, 43isprime said: Pettersson is a superstar? He's the 13th leading scorer in points per game and is probably the 3rd or 4th most important player on his team. Pettersson is a good player, but this "superstar" or "one of the best players in the league" stuff is such hyperbole. Hillarious.... only in Vancouver are fans dissing their own 100+ point players... what makes a superstar? what number on the leading scorer's list have you got to be, to be a superstar? Is Miller a superstar? define superstar? Is it unfair to think that players that pass the 100 points mark before they are 25 are superstars? and likely doing is again?\ Just wondering? 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell.the.team Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I love Petey, I don't want to lose him, but I tend to agree he is not a top 10 player in the league. He is often invisible in games, especially at 5 on 5. I think we need to play hardball to some extent. The Willie Nylander contract should be a good comparable. If he wants a little more, fine. If he wants $14m I'd tell him to get stuffed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet all I see is a bunch of insults because I have a different view on a media personality and a hockey player. As I've said, if you need to insult, its says more about the person insulting than the target. It also suggests the person insulting doesn't have an argument to stand on...Insults are deflection in a debate. Online bullying is sad. Be well.

Popular Post Jaimito Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 Nazi parody on the contract and media. Don't watch if you are easily offended. Based on the German movie Downfall. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he doesn’t believe either side will walk away over .5-1.5m/year.

He said that it MIGHT be a little more than the $96 million figure being tossed around....but that he belieives it's in the $96 million neighborhood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding lol. Would probably be justified too. He'd be making more than Matthews who is gonna be close to cracking the 70 goal mark this year.

Dannyboy88 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Interesting! Sounds like they had a deal percolating with Carolina, I wonder what that would have looked like?

If this is true, this is a comical evaluation of one's own standing amongst his peers. Unbelievable that Pettersson feels he has the leverage to demand something like this.

Pettersson's 102 pts last year was about 66% of the 153 points Mcdavid scored. He's currently on pace for around 72% of what Kucherov is on pace for. All anyone talks about is salary inflation to justify Pettersson's worth. Any talk of points inflation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
