kilgore Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 minute ago, Crabcakes said: If Benning was still the GM, Petey would be gone like a Hurricane. And so he should Yup, Petey said as much. He repeated that he wanted to "play for a winner". And he brought up JR and PA as doing enough to show him that the team could be a winner. He never mentioned Benning, you know, the guy who drafted him. Some of the Benning Bros here think that simply listening to your amateur scouts and picking him at #5 in 2017 was most of the work. To me his statement implied that he seriously was thinking of moving on under Benning, and his clusterfuck management. My gawd, sometimes I shudder to imagine if Aquilini had kept JB on the payroll, what this team would look like. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AatuD2 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 On 2/28/2024 at 5:05 PM, HKSR said: I'm as hard on Petey as anybody, but I do know based on production and comparables, he is worth about $11m to $12m. If it means we can lock him up for 8 years, I'm good with it. He'll be 33 at the end of the deal. Yeah I'm the same way. I find JT and Quinn to be the better and more impactful players for us, but 100 point centers have to make a certain amount of money no matter what. The fact that he'll be 33 is pretty good. Much prefer this to signing a big deal with a 27 year old center who will be 35 and still making big bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Shackleford Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Man, this certainly sets the precedent that you take a bit less to stay and try to win in Vancouver. Hughes on a great deal, Miller on an incredible deal, Petey at a discount. Hope this means Joshua get re-signed. His loss has definitely been felt while he's been injured.

I think the estimates would've been 9 to 9.5 million on an 8 year deal back then. It's tough to play hindsight as we have no way to say for sure that Petey wanted an 8 year deal back then. Players bet on themselves all the time. If the pandemic didn't last as long, Petey would've been looking at a 14 million deal under a 100 million cap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nux now can be better prepared to go for a trade and sign type of players, rather than just rentals While in the meantime, Pettersson signing makes him more attractive in a possible trade.

JayDangles Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 17 minutes ago, kilgore said: The media didn't help squat. Pettersson asked media not to ask questions about his contract until after the season. The fans backed Petey because we're......fans. And we want Petey to feel happy and comfortable and believed him when he said he wanted to focus on the upcoming season. And he was right, and fans were right to back back his stance......because he was fulfilling his end of the bargain, coming out of the gates swinging. It was a three way contract between media, player, and fans. And fans and Petey kept it. But after the All Star break, it seemed that the media decided to break the contract. And in a big sensationalist way. Starting with the Toronto media, then that gave local media an excuse to jump on board. I, and I think most fans, were perfectly happy, if that's what Petey wanted, to let him play out the year. Maybe if the team was still struggling, fans would be uneasy about him re-signing in Summer, but the team was heading in the right direction, so I for one wasn't that worried he'd up and leave. Did the media firestorm help speed up the signing? Obviously. Petey himself said he couldn't ignore the noise anymore. But you have to ask yourself if media holding off their manufactured freak-out and waiting to see how well Petey performs down the stretch and in the playoffs first wouldn't have been more advantageous to management to evaluate his total game before their offer. I'm glad he signed. But I had confidence the team and him would have come to a deal this Summer regardless. The media badgered him into signing before he was planning to. I hope that fact doesn't bite them, and ultimately the fans, in the butt. I completely disagree with your view. None of the evidence supports your theory that the team, and petey and the fans were supportive of petey waiting till the summer. Hence the Carolina trade potential, and the restless fans, and the GM being uncertain about salary cap future. And then ultimately hence Petey resigning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Petey really wants to win, he would have to do it elsewhere Ok - now it’s on Petey to shut his yapper - he got his wish - he is on the good team - so it’s on him to step up the F up and stop disappearing like he does over and over - he’s not even our best player - but he’s being paid like he is… I know I’m not alone when I say this but I think we all want him to muscle up / bulk up / gain 15 pounds of muscle so he’s not so easily knocked off the puck and win battles along the boards then the guy would be a superstar he would totally own… And earn his paycheck… now let’s get back to winning ways now that this whole contract issue is out of the way… go Canucks go Edited March 2 by I.AM.THE.WALRUS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the next priority? Hronek Joshua Blueger Zadorov Lindholm DeSmith Myers Cole Lafferty Friedman I can see a scenario that the bottom 4 don't get signed. It depends on what happens between now and July 1. As painful as it would be, Garland might need to be moved to get some assets back, and free up cap space. It wouldn't help our speed but Mik for Johansen might be a good bet. It shaves a little off the cap, gets us bigger and more able to handle the more physical clubs. Gets us similar production too. Then we're going to have to see in next preseason if some of the young guys are ready to make the jump. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
