Ya trade the most talented defenseman the canucks have literally ever had because he might be overpaid by a couple million. Incredibly smart.

No no, I think you deserve all the credit in the world. Not many people understand psychology like you do. I would dare not say I can read into Petey's mind but you! So much confidence in yourself to claim that you know exactly what Petey is thinking. I admire your understanding of psychology and that confidence in your abilities. Bravo. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If I was JB today, in a sudden fit of rage I would trade away Petey and Quinn, and then trade away anybody else represented by the used car salesmen from CAA. I hope to god our other players don't switch agents to these weasels. Luckily I'm not JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 1/3 of the current/future players would be unavailable to us too with CAA being pretty much the biggest player agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not patience, it's the fact that CAA extorts teams and messes up a team's cap worst then an offer sheet would. I can guarantee that a team who has 1/3 of their players represented by CAA is not even sniffing a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Canucks management must really be pushing for a long term deal as opposed to bridges, or these deals would have been done by now. Let’s hope we can get some long term contracts signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players didn't want that, they'd just represent themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I'm not JB We don’t have to go that far, but I wouldn’t be adverse to him saying that if the players aren’t in training camp on day 1 they won’t be playing this year. Go see how much they can make in the SHL or KHL. The players need to drive the boat a little and tell their agents to get a deal done. Hughes has no options and Petterson can sign an offer sheet if he wants, but the teams with cap space to make him an offer we don’t want to match aren’t likely going to be ones that are closer to winning than us.

DeNiro Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The comparables are right there for Petey it shouldn’t take this long. If he wants a 3 year bridge then Barzal is the comparable (3x7-7.5) If he wants a 5 year then Aho is the comparable (5x8.4-8.9) If his agent is waiting for Tkachuk and Kaprizov as comparables he’s wasting his time. Neither are good examples as Kaprizov has leverage and is older and Tkachuk is a winger who is in a different tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
