chickenman92 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 45 minutes ago, PunjabiCanucks said: If Pettersson can have a 90 point season and be great defensively, at the end of the season I'd say give him 10M x 8years Hughes, we do not have a huge sample size sadly, we burned 1 year of his contract up already and 1 year sample size may not due us good for looking him up long term. I think we resign him after his contract ends, but ideally if he lives up to his hype and has a 40 point season upcoming and lets say has another 40 point season in year 3 (while not being exposed for Defensive flaws - sign him for 6 to 8 years x 7 mill) Why would Pettersson sign long term, two years later at less money then Marner if he's 90 point, solid defensively centre. If he preforms like people are predicting, he will want 12Ish million per over an eight-year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xereau Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Hell of a cap hit, and term. We are set up now to keep Brock, should he truly develop into a star, for his whole career. Looking at the news articles you'd think we all just lost a family member. What is wrong with these clowns? This is quite literally best case scenario for all parties involved. Edited September 17, 2019 by xereau 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anyone thought he'd be worth more than 7mil on a 6 year deal. Hell I had him capped at a Tarasenko deal. I guess that's what makes agents so cool, they are believers. Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grandmaster Posted September 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2019 I also love how JB is not going to be forced into trade to be cap compliant. According to Capfriendy, the Canucks are only 1.7M above cap space but that includes a 26 man roster that must be trimmed to 23 by the start of the season! This is off season has been fan tastic! 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate how the fan base gets labelled as negative, you can really see how its driven by our media here and tweety thumb warriors.

Alflives Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Heard on 650 this morning Aquilini was involved in the negotiations with Besser's agent. Is this a regular thing for the owner of an NHL team to be involved in player contract negotiations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he gambled and lost. He must of been listening to some CDCers who were saying he deserved more like 8 million or the "pay him what ever he wants" mentality.

Brock's deal just continues the trend. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, although if morons want to label the fanbase as miserable, they're just as misinformed. 4 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: But who cares, this is a great outcome for the team. For sure.

I don't think JB missed a shot the entire summer. Every move he made was solid......of course, he'll get no credit. One thing, though, is certain........we know who the brains was behind the 2011 Bruins Cup. 2 1 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing yet not surprising.... I don’t think that is the right read on it. his quote was that he was mad at the number “that was leaked”... not that it wasn’t true, but that it was leaked. People speculating can’t leak something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the owner understand players' values? Is the owner an expert in player evaluation and team building? I agree that Aquilini would be a good negotiator, but I get a bit concerned when the owner gets involved in hockey operations. I believe Aquilini loves his team, and that love might affect his judgement. Super glad we have Bess locked up though, and believe the numbers are fair for both him and the team. Personally I think it's a steal for us. Bess is scoring more than 150 goals during these three season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
