Suzuki next year. Caulfield the year after. Would he really be that stupid? Actually, after this year's draft, yeah, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyGuy123 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I just don’t understand why Petey and Hughes would not have these done already so we know exactly how much we have to spend for FA to provide them with the best team possible? I say Petey gets done today by the Canucks. 3 years $7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, 48MPHSlapShot said: Because he would be handcuffing the team he's currently on, which would hurt the team's chances of winning? Considering that, according to you and your "source", the team losing players in the offseason and not doing as well this last season is what initially pissed him off, that would seem to me to be a conflict of interest. Also, 4 years at earliest until he can become a UFA. That's not a short amount of time, and I doubt he would want to waste 4 years of his career on a ship that he sunk by bleeding them dry. At the end of the day, he's an RFA. The team obviously has control over him and there's only so much he can do personally. What I know is that he was unhappy with what happened and that really tainted his view of the team's future. Maybe things are different now after some of the moves made this off-season, doesn't seem so if the possibility of an offer-sheet has management scared.

TmanVan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Man the NHL is really becoming value players on ELC'S getting paid less than a million, or guys getting payed 8 million plus on long term deals. Everyone else in between is an afterthought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh I wonder how the Habs could afford Petey and still build around their roster even with Weber out if they plan on giving Suzuki that. Still missing a lot of pieces as it stands.

kloubek Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised to see it used as a bargaining chip, but I'd like to think Petey wants to be in Vancouver and has no actual desire to sign an offer. It would be a big shame to see him leave. I agree that he hasn't shown enough to get the big bucks right yet, but he's shown enough that I'm confident with his continued development, experience, and slpwly getting bigger and stronger that he is poised to be up there with the league's best.

Maybe things are different now after some of the moves made this off-season, doesn't seem so if the possibility of an offer-sheet has management scared, which again is nothing more than a rumor spread by a local media personality who takes wire transfers from player agents to stir the pot.

Scottydzik Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There both holding out for big money they have not yet earned if he accepts an offer sheet for 9 mil plus you match and trade him this is a business we could get insane return for him just make right trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtzguy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Kraken might offersheet Petterson. Why does everyone think GMs won't do this? Because it will hurt the other GM's feelings? Payback? Lol, GMs only care about making their team better and making $$ for the owner. Signing Petterson will tell the Seattle fans that they are aiming to win next year and will be a middle finger to us; their direct regional and divisional rival.

wallstreetamigo Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 22 minutes ago, stawns said: Horvat Demko Petey And he certainly is not more important than depth. Depth is how you win Cups, not by blowing your cap on 2-3 players I wonder how the players would feel after seeing depth like Pearson re-signed, older, declining, big cap hit players being brought in, and a bunch of players being bought out, all in the name of being competitive now, only to watch the team lose EP for draft picks. The optics of that - hell the possibility its even an option at this point - shows Benning has learned nothing. Get your important business done first. For all of you who love the Pearson signing - who now should be a 3rd liner with the addition of Garland, the emergence of Hoglander, and the potential of Podkolzin, you should recognize that signing cost us not only Lind but also took up the buffer cap desperately needed to get EP and Hughes done early. Could have been done after UFA started. So Pearson is essentially the replacement for losing EP or losing whatever asset they will need to in order to match an offer sheet. At least we will be awesome with an empty net. If EP gets a 10 mil offer sheet and the Canucks match, pick which top player you want to lose. Would not be surprised to see Hughes traded to NJ in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
