Ok listen, this forum is addicting for the varying degrees of opinion of everything that is Canucks. Some of it is ridiculous , and some it it is well thought out. Over the years here’s one observation…
I have come to realize that half of cdc “arm chairs” think they are Steve Yzerman , and actually believe that they could have signed better contracts than JB and/ or had all of the relevant information to have done anything different. I have a suspicion that there are very few individuals on this board who have even a vastly remote knowledge of contract negotiation of this magnitude, or how to possibly run a massive business that is a hockey team.
In my opinion I am happy that both Petterson and Hughes will have a couple weeks of pre-season/ practice, and excited for the next season. Lots of smart additions and subtractions this summer that could help translate to a playoff team. Money/ term/ value unless your Aquilini who cares. Nothing is guaranteed, just try to enjoy the product. Go Canucks!!
