Ronaldoescobar Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Next year in Sweden then a few years marinating in the AHL but looking like a decent pick for sure and glad to have him signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Vancouver actually CAN'T re-sign the other Pettersson until July 1st, it's not really that misleading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I was gonna say they wasted no time locking up Petey. But instead they just ELC'd Petey. Life really do be confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mordekai Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 If he isn’t coming til the year after why sign him now? So he can come train in Vancouver this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hopefully they gave him the right paperwork and we didn’t just sign D-Petey to an 8 year 10.5 million dollar deal before playing a single NHL game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthecivil Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 LOL the older one isn't going to sign an ELC. He can't... That this one wants to come to Vancouver to train with the Canucks staff, even though he is going back to Sweden to play (which is fine, it worked with the older one) is fantastic news and confirmation that at last ONE prospect gets the message from the coach about having a "good summer".

flat land fish Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 With the SHL transfer agreement are we stuck developing d Petey in Sweden until we deem him NHL ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 My first thought was, "Huh, he can't sign until July 1st". This makes way more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 This kid looks good. Plays a very calm/steady game. Good skater and uses his size. I think the Canucks have got a player here. Todd Harvey really wanted to draft this kid. Klimovich too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) 23 minutes ago, flat land fish said: With the SHL transfer agreement are we stuck developing d Petey in Sweden until we deem him NHL ready? Pretty much. Unless the Canucks can convince his Swedish team (Örebro) to waive their rights. The teams involved are allowed to have discussions to this effect. However, NHL teams are strictly forbidden from offering any form of payment/incentives (other than the fees described within the transfer agreement) to convince a Swedish club to waive their rights under the transfer agreement and authorize an AHL assignment. So basically, until Pettersson is 24, he can’t be assigned to the AHL unless his Swedish club approves the move. And the Canucks can’t “bribe” them to do so. All parties would have to agree it’s the best choice for the player’s development and the Swedish club would have to be willing to forego their rights. EDIT: The silver lining is that Swedish and other European hockey associations have studied this issue in great detail. They have some pretty compelling evidence that developing prospects in their home systems yields better results than sending them to the AHL. There are a couple good studies that were done in the past few years that suggest European players tend to go on to be better players and have better careers this way. So Pettersson may very well have increased odds of eventually becoming a good NHL player for the Canucks by developing in the SHL instead of the AHL.
