He is a free asset, and worth 6 to 7 million a year........... But! If he becomes a distraction, you cancel his contract for failure to abide by the terms........ On another note......he is a more mature man, that will live in the same community as his family I would have his bonus's back end loaded on a 5 year deal, cap remains the same, but he gets paid big at the end..... getting kane to agree to any contract that contains terms outside the usual good conduct requirements is strange why would he come here if he was not truly wanted.. some other team will be clearer about their want for him and good luck trying to cancel his contract once it is signed even richards contract could not be cancelled and he was involved in criminal activity and why would kane use is 1 real free agency chance to sign a back loaded contract? this is his one real chance to get overpaid, get security, and get more money up front typically these contracts are front loaded, filled with bonuses. so they are by-out proof go look at ericksson's contract that is more the type of deal kane will get - but perhaps a bit richer so your rosy view of this all is a bit unrealistic ?

Yeah i looked that up afer i posted. Funny that nilsson didnt win the guldpucken though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Dazzle said: Pettersson's a natural centre, and thrives in that position. Such a waste to move him to wing. IMHO. Is he? I thought he was quite comfortable with both positions. But it's true... Elite centers can be hard to come by so if a guy is truly capable of playing center, you generally want him in that position. The idea was more a pipe dream we would get Tavares and manage to have 3 elite players on one line. Not sure we have any other likely elite forward talent in the system. Not like we are gonna have a chance to woo Tavares here anyway. I'm fully expecting Pettersson to be our #1 center.

No stats from me, but the games i watched from he seems to get to the right areas to cause alot of turnovers. He doesnt seem to lose his man like alo of young players. Maybe someone else can elaborate more 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeneedLumme Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 4 hours ago, Erik Karlsson said: I'm worried our trainers are going to tell Petterson to bulk up like they did Virtanen and Juolevi, which made them play terrible. Even Hansen bulked up a bunch one season and lost a step, some of this has to be on our training staff, happening too much lately. Same with Hutton. He looked better before he bulked up. It would suck to see EP bulk up quickly and lose agility and effectiveness. But I doubt it will happen, he seems to be pretty smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Will we get our weekly Pettersson highlights today? Game starts at 10am Would love to see him score off the cycle with good stick work and a hard shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Last week Benning again repeated that they drafted him to be a playmaking C re they have scoring wingers so it was very important to get him as a C last draft. Has there been any plans for him to be tried at C now that he has adjusted to the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Canuck trainers are pros and likely to be the best of the best. What happened with Jake was nothing to do with the Canuck trainers - or likely any other trainers worth a damn. He was 230lbs, 15lbs of it pure blubber that's why he couldn't last 15 seconds on the ice without sucking air up his ass. Swedish Sport is elite when it comes to fitness and if the Canucks have agreed a program with his Club you can bet it will be done in a professional manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we need him at C (which is most likely) he will be at C. He will end up where he ends up based on his talents and our needs. He's a super smart player so I imagine he will be able to adapt to whichever position he's needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benning can accomplish that for $9.5 million or less a year and we can end up drafting top 10 this year again he'd have a statue built in his honour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine actually getting some luck and landing 1st overall. Draft Dahlin, sign Tavares. Rebuild complete and let the cups roll in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking forward, there is a ton of cap room coming up in the next few years for guys like Pettersson. We're going to have a period with a lot of guys on their ELCs much like the current situation in TO as well. So as long as we don't have more than say one "bad" contract we should be just fine. Loui seems to have found his game again, and if that sticks going forward we really don't have a bad contract on the team. But if we lock up Kane for 7 years at 8 mil and he's a dud, and Loui has another bad year I'd say thats the end of Benning's run here. Its risky but I'd still love to see a line with Kane and Pettersson on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
