Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted April 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2021 Pearson has less points than Hoglander or Myers. I think I'd rather put Podkolzin on Horvat's wing and see what happens. We could get alot cheaper wingers to fill the 3rd line and Pearson is not really a 3rd line player. Would rather spend any additional cap on trying to get a legit 3C. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This season has gone so bad for the Canucks in so many ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Will be excited to see Pearson re-signed. Great chemistry with Bo, cup pedigree, a leader, plays a style we need. Hope it gets done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any team, he's middle 6, his production across 3 different teams back that up. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any team, he's middle 6, his production across 3 different teams back that up. I agree with most of what you're saying but would still cringe a bit at $3M a year. If the cap was going up a bit, then I think it would be fine, but with a flat cap likely for another year two (or more...), $3M a year is a bit rich for the Canucks. $2.5M or $2.75M is probably fair in this market and a number the Canucks should be able to work with to fill out next year's roster. Personally I would be open to seeing potentially cheaper options. My main concern with the Canucks negotiating with Pearson now is that if they sign him now, then they will need to protect him for expansion. They could of course expose him though I don't get why they would do that. They already have Eriksson, Roussel and Beagle who they can expose to ensure that exposure requirements are met. If they re-sign Pearson now then I'm getting the signal that they are probably not going to protect at least one of Virtanen, Gaudette, MacEwen and Lind. We'll see if there are any trades in the next by next Tuesday which provides some clarity but again, it just seems kind of strange to try and sign Pearson now.

I'm curious how many times this has happened in the NHL. I have heard of it a few times but can't remember off the top. Anybody ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 at the right price, I'd have no issues with that. Good teams have a mix of young guys, guys in their prime and veterans. DEpth is a good thing and Pearson can play anywhere in the lineup. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed with Phoenix, then traded to the Blackhawks in his final season, then he re-signed with the Coyotes in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 1 hour ago, kanucks25 said: Don't really see how we can afford him cap wise to play on the 3rd line unless he's taking a big discount AAV wise just to stay here. Ya, not sure if there is something we don't know... but assuming $13-15 million to sign both Petterson and Hughes, and needing to sign another top 4 D still (Edler at a reduced rate maybe).... not sure where the money is coming from. We have about $18 million to sign 10-11 players at the moment, almost all of which will go to Petterson and Hughes. Some extra if Ferland stays on LTIR.

Devron Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 As long as the contract makes sense I’m all for it. Like the player and can play up and down the lineup. Cant let everyone go. We’ll have nothing left. Depth is a real thing that we need 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Man Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Like the player but take advantage of the times.....2x2 or 2.5. Expose him, perhaps he's good expansion bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hopefully $2.5M at 2 years. Anything more seems like an overpayment. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEVEGOTMOTTE Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Pearson is a solid second line left winger. They do not grow on trees. Many others were tried with Horvat without success. He also has a winning attitude. Cap wise he is already making 3.75m. Baertschi and Sutters money combined is 7.73m which is going to Petey. I would think Pearson wants 4-4.5. If he produces 40 points in a regular season is fair value. Dollar value is basically $100,000's per hundred points. I trust him more than the wingers coming up in our system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to disagree with you on this one Elias Pearson is the perfect 3rd liner..........strong defensively with some up side in scoring......................2.5 Million X 2 would be where I have him If he was scoring like 2 years ago, maybe 3.25, but he is too up and down Perfect to fill in on a second line, but better suited for the 3rd..............IMHO 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
