I think this is being overplayed, there are a lot better fits out there than an 8.5 million dollar a year 29 year old defenseman with seven years left on his contract.

He's a good player for sure, just not 8.5 mil for 7 years good.

Seriously you guys have got to drop this Petey and Hughes 10 stuff. Hughes and him will get a bridge deal and maybe the contract after they will get 10 . Hughes is a RFA with no arb rights and can not be offer sheeted. Start thinking 7-7.5 short term . Get out of this flat cap and then sign the big deals.

Aho is sitting at 8 mil a year, which is a good comparable for Petey. Barzal is getting a new contract this summer, so that will be interesting to see/gauge.

Even if it's 8 and 7 for Petey and Hughes, that's a lot of money tied up in 3 players.

Aho also signed before the pandemic and there was no flat cap. Rosters are revolving doors players in players out.

Canucks management don't seemed concerned and they are the ones signing the checks.

Good to know thx. Morning line betting numbers a bit messed up now. Baseball went through a little 'pandemic' thingy too when they fired up just fine now. NFL will be all good.

Agree with you which isn’t often lol

Same money & some more for AP would be my benchmark. Get a better D man easily & a RHD & for free. Even that is spending a lot on D once Hughes gets his bridge. The assets saved could move out dumps. That said it’s a cap risk as well but AP has more elite years in him vs OEL who seems to be sliding downhill a bit. It could be he is mired in Arizona but not so sure. With AP we’d have beaten VGK.

I think once OEL is signed Marky quickly after then Load Management prediction of Demko to Ottawa comes true.

Well rounded, Complete 2 way Dmen don't grow on trees. 29 years old is NOTHING for defenseman and the NMC might let you actually acquire him on the cheap

The window to win is the next 3-4 years, The contract being 7 years is not a problem. Move on from him later if you need to

Round out the roster with cheaper/younger options. If a guy like Myers is making 6 Million, A guy like OEL for 8.25 is a steal
