Popular Post steviewonder20 Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2021 No matter how the numbers and term turn out, I hope that the two contracts are for different lengths. There’s no way I want their agent to be able to blackmail the Canucks with both players at the same time. Ideally, we buy a year or two of Petey’s UFA years and go shorter with Hughes to see if his defensive game improves. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 5 years for Pettersson would suck I’m actually ok with 5 years. Yes he could walk at UFA. However to maximize his return he’d be hella motivated the next 5 years. 5 years from now the Canucks will need a rebuild. The core will be aging out. Cheaper deal for less years is ok by me. Just win a cup before I die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better make sure I clean that one up. I would never use that word besides on that one colloquialism but gotta make sure I stop. Yeah, that's okay. In the Heat of the Night, a book written in the 60s, the cops would refer to black people as coons. It was a book aimed at systemic racism. The generations before us haven't exactly picked up the lessons and passed them on but it's all coming to a head now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 1 hour ago, 204CanucksFan said: Boeser sat out camp in 2019, that season he put up 14 points in 12 games in the month of October as well as maintaining basically a point per game pace all the way in to mid January when his play fell off. He was dealing with injuries at that point iirc. Didn't he get injured during preseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 5 year deal if the aav is good for us. Year 4 he either resigns or trade him in his prime for the world.

DeNiro Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Gotta wonder if these two are getting advice from Keith. Probably telling him they don’t need training camp. Didn’t that guy always come into camp overweight and out of shape? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
