No Squam=No Taj? 8 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Why would Montreal telegraph an offer sheet? How would that help their position? Dhaliwal has gone from a solid source of information to a speculative tweeter in a matter of a couple of years. Keep believing it though. Dhaliwal may still have some connections, but he's heading towards Eklund territory but with a larger media presence. He's not worth respecting, and should always be taken with a heap of salt imo.

Not to mention COVID/flat cap, and the Luongo recapture, both of which have nothing to do with this management. Total bull$&!# narrative you're trying to spin. I'm not saying it's likely we're going to lose him. My post was more towards the people who think we would/could walk away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just now, Spoosh said: If they’d be worries about that they would have signed him already. But if it was me in charge, I would have signed him first even if there is ’no hurry’ to do it. But since we really don’t know what is going on and what has been discussed I’m not worried just yet. I highly doubt they are sweating over it or they’d have it on paper on EP40’s terms. Another thing to consider, people on these boards are super impatient and have no sense of negotiation skills. Sometimes doing it early is beneficial; however, how do we know if Pettersson WANTS to do it early? Sometimes it's all about trying to squeeze out a little extra moolah just by making the Canucks sweat it a little. Two sides have to come to a mutual understanding of a price. That's how this works. Simply saying "Pay" is fine and dandy, but that's how you get bent over in talks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall contract is divided at most by 5 years to determine the compensation bracket. 8.2M x 7 years = 57.4M then divided by 5 is 11.48M Did not know that. Thanks. Hmm...tempted to take the 4 x 1sts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need to overpay, you overpay essential players, not placeholders and support/secondary players like the ones we've signed in free agency. Here's the thing though ..... if said essential player is forcing you to overpay, thus impacting other business/maneuvers that need to take place, I for one show him the door. What is the point of laying a foundation with such a "me first" attitude. An "essential" player is also one who understands the importance of compromise and has the humility to realize that they aren't bigger than the team. Petey will not disappoint.

My post was more towards the people who think we would/could walk away from him. Of course you were, otherwise why would you even bring it up in the first place? If we did walk away from Pettersson's offersheet, we'd be netting a ton of draft picks potentially. I'm assuming any offer sheet will be no more than 10.2. And within this range, I think maybe 8 would be done? or 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 20 mill for Petey, Hughes, a 4C, a back up goalie, Dickinson, OJ and at least 1 RHD man.

In reality, GM's and agents talk about a lot of things that don't work out. Some discussions end quickly, other transactions fall apart at the very last minute. Some people here especially seem to take it really personally for some reason. Chill out lol 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
