hero11 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If Vancouver can't match an offer sheet, take the draft picks and use that cap space elsewhere. Lock up Hughes. Sucks if we lost Pettersson, but when one door closes another opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much hope that JB has been paying attention to TO........you don't win with 4-5 players taking up most of your payroll. I don't think he's ever looked at the Toronto model as one to follow.

KyGuy123 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This is why the Pearson deal makes me upset. Right now the difference between worried and confident. I’d try and ship him out NMC or not this second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. JP Barry on he other hand .......... I'd love a player that takes less to win, but it's just not the reality of pro sports usually. If another team was offering him a significant amount more than we did, it'd be hard to blame him. You also have to take into account how much confidence the player has in his management - as in, what are they going to do with the money I leave on the table?

It just means he less inclined to leave money/more inclined to squeeze more out of the team for less years at this point in time. If taking a step back last season bothered him that much, wouldn't squeezing more out of the team for less years be counterproductive? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft picks will take a while to produce, and the team has already spent a lot of money to try to be competitive now. They will need to match any offer sheet.

But seriously, as I've said periodically since February, I have it on good authority with my own source that Pettersson was not happy at all with what transpired over the off-season. To outright refuse to play for the team? Never But to be further enticed to want to stay over moving elsewhere? Certainly. His sentiments have been shared by teammates like Miller and Horvat. Nobody wanted to take the step back last year. I do think he's going to stay but I do think he will be coming in at around 8M on a short deal, which is not ideal because I think Barzal's contract should be target. Honestly, you're such a clown!

Canucks Curse Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 halalak 1.5 mill dickinson 2.2 mill suter 850 x 2 yrs full NTC- incentive to sign cheap Schenn 750 x 2 yrs = 4.95 20.1 -4.95 = 15.15 is best case scenario what we have to spend on Hughes and petey = 7.5 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - that explains why we were shut out in 3 of our 4 losses against Vegas in the Bubble playoffs. I often wondered about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My guess is that we lock Petey up with a 6-7 year contract worth $7-8 million AAV. The kid is a gem. Need to get him and Huggy Bear locked. They are the faces of the franchise alongside Bo. Get her done, Benning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I could definitely see Seattle messing with us in the form of an offer sheet. I would hope EP would be classy enough to not sign it and instead use it as leverage. He deserves a nice contract but signing offer sheets and forcing your GM's hands is douchy, IF, the GM is working with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Stecher was pretty bitter about being pushed out here too, and Boeser being friends with him wasn't overly happy either. But guess what? They both realize it's a business. Everyone involved also knows COVID/flat cap is in play here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
