hammertime Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So my question is if...... What if it happened? Even if we pay to move contracts and use buyouts paying the price "next year" would be incredibly costly. Can JB match and how... at what cost? Is the cost too great, does the cost make the compensation worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S N Y P E R S 7 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The underlying question here is whether Jim Benning wants a job next year or not. If he wants a job, the Canucks would match it. If he wants to hang out with the jobless #firebenning guys outside the rink, he'll let Pettersson walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if that offer is for seven years it moves the compensation up to 4 firsts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys outside the rink are actually working full time at the car wash down the block. So this statement isn't totally accurate to be honest... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So which team is going to offer sheet Petey? Who has the cap space? No Buffalo isn't going to offer sheet anybody and neither is Ottawa... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I’ll say it’s highly unlikely to happen but for the purposes of your proposal - at 6 years I match, at 7 I let him walk. Two reasons for letting him walk at 7 are the 4 firsts to maximize the cost to the team that makes the offer sheet and secondly I’m not overly pleased that he signed the offer sheet. Of course he has every right to but I don’t want the best player on my team to be a guy who wants to extract every last dollar. I’ll take a MacKinnon over a Mathews every time.

Also aside from cap space there are 8 teams that can’t without making trades to re-acquire their own draft picks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'd rather a MacKinnon over Mathews anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 2 firsts 1 2nd 1 third. Ok but roughly where in the draft are those picks likely to be? 2 31 st player over all? No thanks 2 top 4 or 5? Maybe Those would end up being lotto eligible and perhaps we snag first over all and get Conner Bedard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt any team that thought they might be lotto elligable would make the offer but if they did and they were....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I would let him walk if the offer sheet results in 4 x 1st round picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
