Popular Post Odd. Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2022 First thing they need to do this summer is lock Petey up at 8x$9.5M. Screw everyone else, lock this guy up. 8 8 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) If you listened by the by, Barry paused for a very obvious moment when asked about Pettersson staying in vancouver. his answers became VERY political and diplomatic after that At this point with horvat leaving, Boeser being shopped, no help coming from the prospect bins on the defensive end of things and Kuzmenko thus far playing himself in to a league average $7+ million contract based on projected point totals at years end. They better sell him on the future fast because the short term with this team will be a mess without significant change. Sell every possible asset they can to obtain futures over the next 2-3 years and build around him Demko Hughes and Podkolzin by supplementing those trade returns with higher value draft picks of their own Edited December 16, 2022 by Warhippy 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He paused because he’s got carefully answer these questions and not say the wrong thing. This team has 4-5 more years to get its shit together before he gets to that point where he’s going to want to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) They’re comparable right now. Wont be if Petey puts up 100 points… Edited December 16, 2022 by DeNiro 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Harold Drunken Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2022 Lock Pettersson up, rebuild or not he will be part of both. He's turned into a complete, 2 way player and I think he still has more to give. 2 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I don’t mind giving a guy like him however much he wants. He’s going to be the face of the franchise full time with Bo leaving. Though hopefully he takes some sort of a discount to help better allocate the cap for others. Edited December 16, 2022 by Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyCupOneDay Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 If we get Pettersson re-signed long term for under 10 I’ll consider that a bargain bordering on a steal. Especially if the cap does go up significantly. In 2-3 years that contract might be looking pretty damn cheap for what other guys would be getting and we’d still have 5 or so more years of him being locked up. I hope management can get that done, it would really be beneficial for the Canucks future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell every possible asset they can to obtain futures over the next 2-3 years and build around him Demko Hughes and Podkolzin by supplementing those trade returns with higher value draft picks of their own I honestly feel like the only guys I want to see on the team in 2-3 years is Pettersson Podkolzin Kuzmenko Hughes Demko (if he bounces back...I think he will...he's too good) Bear Wild cards depending on how they progress: Hoglander (the effort is there, and I'm seeing improvement...the goals just aren't going in for him for whatever reason) Studnicka Aman (Sneaky good defensively, fast and has size....they found something here he's a smart player) Rathbone (There is still a player there, he's only 23. Players develop at different ages. He's a PPG in the AHL and just needs a little more confidence and better d partners) Add and build around them, character guys and some defensive players to support them. Develop some help in the AHL to bring up and supplement (Klimovich, McDonagh, Lockwood, Lekkerimaki, other prospects etc) Don't bring them up too soon.

Angry Goose Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Anything under 10 is a great deal for the Canucks. Petey really took a huge step forward this year and is becoming the Sedin-type of impact player you win with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Well he has a chance to show that isn't just an agent keeping his player's options open. Of course Petey would want to stay a Canuck if the price was right. July 1st he will have a chance to put pen to paper on a new contract... Barzal would be a good comparable and if you make that a max term deal it would likely stay a decent value with a rising cap. If he wants $10 million plus or doesn't sign right away, then you trade him in the summer when you have the leverage and lots of teams who missed out on big UFA targets are looking for help. None of this nonsense of waiting until the player has the leverage and puts the boots to us on contract value like what happened with Miller and looks to be happening with Horvat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cap space for improvement, no good enough players available, no rebuild but no playoffs either so bye bye Petey. Then a rebuild. They have the next 18 months to become contenders from this group. If it was that easy why hasn't it happened before? Other teams are getting better faster with more upside, younger players getting better, the Canucks just don't have the assets, I guess they could trade away more draft picks for older FA's Maybe trade this year's first for Hedman? Or Ekblad? Or Doughty? Some aging vet on the backside of his contract. How do they get better? How long? Which decade? If EP decides to go then he goes, this is not slavery anymore. If he decides he wants to try for a cup he has only very few times he can make that happen, contract time Edited December 16, 2022 by ToTellTheTruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it has more to do with ownership He was pretty clear, he isn't about the country club, he wants to win. FYI that is also the sentiment of Horvat; “I want to win,” said Horvat. “I'm getting tired of being out of the playoffs and not being able to fight for the Stanley Cup.” Seems some player still think winning is more important than merely being professionals, Euor's who think the WC and Olympics are more important and the NHL is just a way to make money. Not all Euro's just the "professionals" Ownership notices when seats are empty and bags are on heads. Rutherford still has some runway yet and the silence from the front office is deafening.
