That would go a long way of showing they want to plant roots here. Then again PK Subban made a $10 million donation to Montreal Children's Hospital and was traded away not long afterwords.

qwijibo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I’m just stoked that this should put an end to the ridiculous trade proposals. Short of QH and EP demanding a trade Vancouver was never going to move these two guys out Edited October 1, 2021 by qwijibo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think they could have gotten more as back to back art Ross winners and literally 2 of the best players in the league? They both won an art Ross. They were both in the running for the hart trophy. Petterson and Hughes are not yet in the conversation as the best players in the NHL... Once Petterson wins an art Ross and is up for the Hart and Hughes wins the Norris or the Hart, maybe then we can compare? These millennials drive me crazy lol I do have faith that Petterson and Hughes can be Hart Norris, Art Ross winners but they are not there yet. Neither Petey or Quinn are millennials…. They also signed pretty fair contracts given the market, so I’m not sure what there is to be upset about. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you followed the conversation, I'm talking about @wai_lai416 view that Sedins tried to maximize their earnings just like Petterson and Hughes I just found it super disrespectful to paint the Sedins in that light as they have been nothing but giving during their Canuck careers. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedins took team friendly deals and donated to the childrens hospital in their prime… how much do you think Pettersson is going to demand in 3 years… another thought… how can Pettersson walk in and say hi to Brock and JT and say “hey i feel im worth 2 million more than you” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're as good as Petey, they deserve it. We can't expect everyone to be the Sedins. The players also realize Petey is their best player; it's been said multiple times. I'm sure they'll be fine. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sedins hadnt won anything when they signed those deals. Henrik won the year after they signed and daniel won the year after that. Petey and Quin also signed for a smaller cap hit relative to the sedins at the time. Do you really think the sedins would have signed the same deal if they played today? I bet they would be in the 7.5 to 8.5 million range as well 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sedin’s were anomalies. They never got the respect they deserved around the league (or with some of our own fan base). They definitely took being part of a team and the city to the next level! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured adults would focus more on your quality of character and maturity and not just the year you were born. Clearly, not everyone can do that. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
204CanucksFan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) 51 minutes ago, ABNucksfan said: When did Wayne sign his last contract? When did the Sedins? Has your wage risen as much from when the Sedins signed to today? Didn’t think so… kids are entitled today. Well let's compare apples to apples here: The Sedins each signed 3 year bridge deals with an AAV of $3.575 million which at that time accounted for 8.13% of the cap. Pettersson is speculated to sign a 3 year bridge of $7.7 million in the very near future which accounts for 9.45% of the current salary cap. Those are two very comparable contracts, percentage wise at least, they are each taking up an almost identical sized portion of the pie, it's in no way Pettersson's fault that the pie has become so much larger at this point. At the time the Sedins signed, Henrik had put up 0.553 P/GP and Daniel had 0.559 P/GP. Pettersson at the time of his signing is at 0.927 P/GP. Pettersson has already won the Calder Trophy and has received votes for the Lady Byng twice as well as votes for the Hart, at this point in the careers for the Sedins, Daniel had finished 8th for the Calder as his only award votes and Henrik was 55th for the Selke in one season. The simple fact is that even though the numbers are larger, the percentage of the cap is nearly equivalent which has to be seen as a win because Pettersson, at this point in his career, has achieved far more than the Sedins. And on a side note: You clearly need a stronger union representing you becuase my wage increases 2-3% annually.

Miller is a good player, He’s not on Petey’s level though I don’t think. That being said, he’s definitely in line for a raise on his next contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV. Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Good on the star boys for getting as much as they could get. They're legit talents and they know it. Not their fault the GM doesn't ever budget correctly. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
