Popular Post LeafsFanDan Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 I wanted to bring up today's article from Canucks Way. https://thecanuckway.com/2021/04/12/are-the-canucks-in-danger-of-a-pettersson-or-hughes-offer-sheet/ First of all, EP is a humble kid who is just happy to be in the NHL. He doesn't care not does he put too much weight into how much money he will make. He isn't the type of a person to sit out games for cash basically he will accept the bare minimum to keep playing. To say anything more shows complete lack of insight into EP attitude and character. Same with Hugh's, kids a 5'10 dude he never dreamed of making millions let alone 7 mill a year. They have no clue what they are worth and they are humble, these kids just wanna play. They will take what the team gives them and move on. These kids are chasing money they just love the game and the fun, that's my honest opinion. It's complete click bait and just lazy writing to suggest EP is going to entertain offers. 2 3 3 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silky mitts Posted April 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2021 Petey is a flashy guy. Money is definitely important to him as it is for any young superstar . 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I'm not going to bother clicking the link, but does it have a quote in there from Pettersson where he says he won't? I mean, it's unlikely that anyone would offer sheet a player anyway: They rarely happen to begin with. Pettersson does enjoy it here from what we've heard. It's a flat cap with Covid. But some opinion piece from a blogger isn't going to be the definitive answer, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Whew Thanks, good to know but Why did he change his agent then and when he did, why didn't he just say , I don't need one ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) I doubt you know EP or QH more than any of us do. From afar, both of them definitely seem like confident (perhaps arrogant to other fanbases) young men who know their worth to the team, so I'm not sure I agree with your assessment. It seems more like an accurate assessment of the Sedins rather than our new wave of talent. Edited April 13, 2021 by Grape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is not eligible for an offer sheet. Still left on his plate are extensions for RFAs Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson, who are both up this summer. In Hughes' case, he is a 10.2c RFA, meaning he has not played enough NHL seasons to be eligible to receive an offer sheet, per Cap Friendly.Mar. 31, 2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I think the offer would have to be substantial for Pettersson to sign. The team in question would have to have the cap room and the draft picks and an owner willing to spend that money in a cash strapped time for NHL teams. I can't see that happening and he will probably sign a contract beforehand anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 You never know with young players nowadays. It's really all about the money to a lot of them. Not to say QH or EP are materialistic players that would put their wages over a team but players want to know that the team values them. This is shown through the contract and term offered. Who knows what will happen but in terms of loyalty they really don't make them like the Sedins anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Have to remember they got agents in their ear. Agents push hard to get their clients the best deal they can get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Angry Goose Posted April 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2021 The Hughes family strikes me as fairly buisness minded folk when it comes to hockey. EP switching agents also seems to indicate EP knows a lot of money is on the line and he's going to get the best deal possible. Maybe not an offer sheet but I kinda doubt either are going to take a penny less than what they're worth 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you ask him if he will accept the league minimum if he is just happy to be in the NHL? ditto for Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 ya i dont think petey would sign a offer sheet but he will want to get paid if we give him bridge its barzal money 3 yrs @ 7 mill per if benning figures a way to shed cap id rather it 8 yrs 10 mill. Hughes cant even be offer sheeted yet he will be paid well maybe 3 yr 7 mill contract wait to see what benning has planned. podkolzin is gonna be rookie of yr next yr this guys a stud who drives play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am humble and so happy to be in the NHL. And yes I love Vancouver so much, I do plan to live here forever. But you know I do need an upgrade on my Audi, and I would like to actually buy my own condo in Yaletown instead of renting, a real nice place with a view so I can pick up more girls. So to be honest I really do want a very big contract for next year which is why I switched agents. So you really don't know me that well after all... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't close to being a rookie of the year candidate, have you not being paying attention? Dude is the next Chubarov and we all know how he turned out. Pod is a solid 3rd line winger good for 35-40 points i am guessing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't understand why he switched agents, it has nothing to do with money. He has a disagreement with his agent on a different issue and they decided to split. No one comes to NHL looking for money, EP is a kid at heart I don't understand why so many ppl think money is important to these guys. The team gives them contracts they sign them they inside cant believe someone is tabling millions of dollars to them to play a game they would play for a few hundred Gs anyways.

If what you were saying was true we wouldn’t have sat through 1 strike and 3 lockouts. The players want to get paid. Plain and simple. I don’t think an offer sheet is a big threat. But not because of some deep seated nobility inherent in the player, but because the team and his agent will get something done before it gets to that point.
