For these two players sure, they're making plenty off of the other players they represent. in these situations, the agents always come out ahead, they risk the least in these stand offs.

RakuRaku Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I wonder what the hold up is.. Is it JB and ownership trying to nickel dime?? They got cap space to make a reasonable offer... They had the whole summer to figure it out but nope... Just need to drag on till start of season.... In the end, it's the team and fans that suffer!! Hughes and Petey don't owe us anything... They won't mind missing games if it means maximizing their $$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best two players on the team who got all the bargaining power... Petey will get closer to $8M and Hughes gets at least $6.5M+.... Our cap room isn't a business secret so the two of them will try to squeeze out 99% of the remaining pie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it is this, when they overpay for substandard help I think it is more of the agent trying to nickel and dime if anything 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he wants a short term (3-4 years) deal, and then he'll sign with whoever pays him most after that. Pettersson $7.5 x 4 years (backloaded where he makes $10 in his final year) Hughes $8 x 6 years I don’t think your terribly far off. Friedman was figuring in his podcast that the Canucks and Pettersson have a agreed to 8m x 3 years. However Elias and Quinn agreed to not sign until they both had deals they liked. Apparently the Canucks offered Quinn 5 x 5, but Quinn was asking for 8.5. Friedman figured Dahlin’s contract threw a wrench into both sides’ plans as the Canucks will have to come up and Hughes will have to come down. I bet within a week it gets solved.

Hughes and Petey don't owe us anything... They won't mind missing games if it means maximizing their $$$! I disagree. They owe the Vancouver fans. We deserve more. Yes, both players deserve to be paid. But considerations to the Vancouver fans who also deserve to support a winning team. ‘Team’ being the focus here. They have to leave something on the table for their present and future team members to also receive fair compensation. They also should respect what ownership and management and team are trying to accomplish. All should be putting the team first to reach the ultimate goal. They have to leave space for the GM to manoeuvre to improve the team. You do not want a Toronto scenario here where they have trapped and painted themselves into a corner. …and just because a desperate GM of another franchise has chosen to self preserve or make a terrible decision by over paying its top tier players; should not be the only consideration to set the market price of a player comparable. As noted by another; send Hughes to New Jersey to let the brothers decide who should take a pay cut. This is just cutting to the point. It’s a team of brotherhood. It’s about their fans, it’s respect to ownership and GM and coaches and fellow team players. It should not be just about a me attitude. Ownership is leaving nothing on the table. They alway spend near to the cap limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
