Petey @$12M or Horvat @$8.5M + XX Player @$3.5M. Which team is most likely better? All else equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have Lindholm who is better defensively than Horvat. Plus, we will be able to re-sign Lindholm to a much cheaper contract that Horvat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 6 minutes ago, Sell.the.team said: you sure bout that? Horvat in on pace for 69 points playing over 20 minutes a night as a 1C. Not sure how anyone can say he is even in the ballpark of Petey in terms of production. As for Lindholm, nobody is going to pay him $8 million. Unless a dumb GM like Lamoriello wants to overpay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 43 minutes ago, BPA said: Supposedly the CAR trade offer was “overwhelming”. So guessing, 2 roster player (Necas + Kot), 2 x 1st, and prospect. And that's to be expected for an elite RFA. If Petey was put on the trade market there would be a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 45 minutes ago, aGENT said: Necas plus one of Pesce/Kotkaniemi, Nikishin and a 1st if Pettersson isn't willing to sign at a reasonable hit....yes please. Future top 4 D of Hughes, Hronek Nikishin, Willander would be RIDICULOUS Don’t forget Kudryavtsev or D-Petey on the bottom pairing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, seeing as how Friedman is actually connected (even though he does create clickbait sometimes) I'm going to take his information with a bit more certainty than your speculation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 1 hour ago, RWJC said: Exactamundo. This next EP contract is to mitigate for future contract value increases across the NHL board. That’s why there is allegedly a 12+ figure floating around. You’re paying for the future and against what will be some major salary increases. Folks want to say he’s not worth this or that based on his career numbers or impact thus far but aren’t including in what is a major contributing factor …a player wanting hto earn commensurate with their peers over time, and larger salaries for higher profile players is a constant. Bingo... mic drops...couldn't agree more if I tried. Wait and see what McD will get and eventually QH and Makar etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a huge Horvat fan, I am glad he's gone, I think we are a better team without him but I think he has played better than a '60 point centre'. Speculation is Lindy turned down 8 x $9m recently so if he can't get anywhere near that on the open market he duffed it pretty hard. I think the dude wants to get paid in free agency - he has been underpaid for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a lot of people here will be surprised over the contracts handed out the coming years with the rise in the cap... Yeah, the flat cap artificially suppressed lot of contracts. There will be an adjustment as the cap goes up every yr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QH likely will be highest paid Canucks in franchise history when he signs the next deal. Edited March 1 by Jaimito 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford 2 silly contracts. If we only sign 1 silly contract it should be Hughes, but I think they got room for EP at 12 as well QH comes in once the worst of OEL cap is gone (I believe, but can't remember). I expect QH to command between 13-15M in 3 years. He is the most dynamic player I've seen in Canucks colour. Oceans of Ice time andinvolved in the majority of goals, when on the ice. He is one of a handful of Dmen in the NHL that controls the game, or at least can, from start to stop. He is NOT going to be cheap, if we are to keep him in Vancouver. Hopefully the lure of big dollars south of the border or a reunion with his brothers won't pry him away. Luckily we seem to have a close nit leadership team. Listening to Brock and Miller how much they like to play together is fabulous, especially knowing Brock and Petey are friends too. And Quinn is friends with everyone.

Bobby James Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The goal should be signing Petey long term and then planning to lock up Hughes long term. I understand the concerns about a player wanting out and why it is important to look at all options on the table (talking to Carolina for example). But I still think Petey and Hughes are the main two pieces to our core and locking them up is priority. If they want to be here, get the contracts done. Miller is playing great, but he isn't the 1C we'll be relying on going forward for the next 8 plus years (Lindholm isn't either). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
