No thanks to that deal.  Not buying free agent years and giving top dollar.

 

Hughes doesn’t get to sign until Petterson does at a reasonable rate.  
 

3-4 years @ $7-7.5

5-6 years no thanks 

7-8 years @8.5-9

 

 

A 4 year contract walks Petey straight to free agency. Have to remember that KK is 2 years older the EP so the Wild bought up 3 years of UFA from KK.

Gross if that is what Petey is looking for let him sit out a while.

KK was only three years from UFA, so two of those five years of this contract are UFA years.  Petey would need to sign 9 mil x 7 years to be the same, no?  

Personally id love to see a 9 x 7 for Petey and 7 x 3 for Hughes.

None of these kids have earned those salaries with what they have brought on the ice yet.

 

Sit for a while and watch the team play while losing money every day if that is the price/term expected.

 

The two players tried to get leverage by going with the same agent.  It also gives us leverage to simply choose not to sign Hughes and let him sit the year if we can’t get a combined deal good enough for our liking.

Couldn't have said it better myself, although I could live with 6 for the OEL expiry, and wouldn't do 4.
