D.B Cooper Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I’d be stoked if Petey signed that. In a year or two, he will probably be worth more, so I doubt he takes it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This is an example of how/why salaries have escalated even during a flat-cap period. All it takes is one GM/Owner with money in their pocket, room under the cap, and no other ways to draw fans into the arena. If this report is actually true, agents like EP's now have a new 'minimum' starting point in negotiating and it'll only go up from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term plays a big factor in yearly amount. EP will get between 7.5 and 8.5 depending on term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hammertime Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 I really don't think Pete deserves anything more than this. He hasn't proved much yet for for me this is max $$ at max term or bet on yourself and sign a bridge. If he can't stay healthy and quit cancerously pouting on the bench when he struggles then he won't be worth any more. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Sens owner ain't exactly known for spending money so if Tkachuk was really offered that, you can imagine how much EP was offered by Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Ottawa trying to give money now to lock him in long term. More money than he’s worth which sucks when trying to sign Pettersson who’s worth a fair bit more than Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Once Tkachuk signs for $8M, watch Ottawa offersheet EP $10M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year or two, he will probably be worth more, so I doubt he takes it. That's partially why I think he takes a 2 year bridge right now. Allows the Canucks to get clear of the Luongo recapture etc, and for the cap to start moving up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 they're overpaying because they need to retain talent. Its one thing to bleed off Karlsson and Stone once, but you can't keep doing that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Petey at 8 mil seems a bit low from EP's view as he is likely to become 10 mil player in a few seasons. But Petey at 10 mil is too much for the Canucks to pay at the moment. On a long term 8 year deal, I think EP should be considered to be on the same echelon as Cale Makar and a fair deal for a long term is 9 mil per year. But even 9 mil feels it's little too much for the Canucks right now. Best deal for the Canucks is a 3-year term bridge deal so that we can contend during those years. Maybe win a cup like Toewes and Kane did in Chicago or at the least, go to the WCF. We've got the depth to challenge for the cup once EP and QH hits their strides and as Hog and Podz looking like serious playoff players. If EP wants to win, bridge deal is what he should sign. But as CDC resident psychologist @Timråfan pointed out, EP doesn't want to do the team any favour, even if it means the team is not going to win if he signs that back breaking 9, 10 mil contract. And since JB is ruthless (as he has ruthlessly kicked off Dahlen, Stecher, Markstrom, Tanev, and Toffoli off of the team), I think JB doesn't budge and get him on a bridge deal. At this point, I don't see EP pulling a Nylander, if he did, I wouldn't mind trading him off of the team despite him being my favourite Canuck at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey has no problem with the team… Learn to read before you write. And it’s amateure psychologist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
