What concerns me is if Petey signs too big a contract - $9-10 million per, and he doesn't deliver. He's not even a point-game player. He already has an injury history, he lacks strength and gets knocked off the puck easily. 

 

Look at Marner, incredible skill, produces a lot more than Pettersson, but he's not strong enough to make a real impact in the playoffs. Guy is getting paid almost $11, for what?  Great regular season stats? I sure hope the Canucks don't overspend like TOR did. Give him Boeser money. He doesn't deserve more.

 

EDIT - meaning what Boeser will make starting next season, or slightly more - for Petey,  $7.5 - $8 per.  

 

Hughes is the best Canucks player - he should be the top paid guy in a few years.

To be fair, Pettersson proved he can perform in the playoffs while in the bubble. He scored at a PPG during that time & came in clutch when needed. Personally, I saw his game elevate.

 

I agree that the injury history is worrisome.

 

I think he still gets paid somewhere between the 7.5-8.5M range, but I think it'll be a shorter 3 year term due to the question marks.

 

With that being said I still wouldn't be opposed to an 8 year deal @ 8M. I believe that Petey would play to his contract.

I dispute most of this.

 

Petey is getting much stronger on the puck and the encouraging thing is...he isn't afraid to battle for it.  He's tall/lanky but core stability will help him.

 

Marner also has 2 years on Petey.  In his first couple of year, Marner wasn't a point per game player.

Injury "history" is true for most players who play this game...I ain't even worried.  Petey is very "accountable" and will do what it takes to be his best..even after injury.  We've seen his work ethic and that matters.

Don't sell Petey short.....Marner does not produce "a lot more" if context is applied.  Marner has Matthews working alongside him.

alright, time for a pool. whoever gets closest to the day/time of their signing gets to be a mod for the season.

 

I'm gonna say Friday, Sept. 24th at 4:55 pm. 

And a mod gets pizza, beer and the pen the contract's signed with if they're closest.  I'm in.  I guess we have to go with the official announcement time (on the website?).

It would be fitting to see the Hughes signing announced at XX:43 am/pm and Pettersson signing announced at XX:40 am/pm.
