Carol Schram: Sizing up Andrei Svechnikov as a contract comparable for Elias Pettersson Andrei Svechnikov signed his new contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. How does that impact Elias Pettersson's negotiations with the Vancouver Canucks?

Thank you Carol.

Pete’s still going to want 9+ Mil a year. IMHO.

Thanks Carol!

Thanks Carol

I hope the team holds at no more than 7.75

Can't see it. Svechnikov garnered 7.75 per for 140 points in 205 games and Petey will be a point per game player + possibly. 8 X 8.5



Hughes might go a little less.

40 will get no less than 8.5 x 8 - I actually think it will come in at an even 72 mil.

Jordie Benn signs in Minny

Thanks Carol

Pete will be 9, Quinn 8.5....

Brian Leetch had to grow into his defensive role, but he always put up numbers; here''s hoping Mr.. Hughes can too.

Pete is just worth it, nickle and dime'ing him just seems cheap.

Lets be smart and get them signed.

Looks like you have 15.5M to share for your 2 guys...you guys are giving Petterson 9 and Hughes 6.5?
Is that enough with the Maker and Heiskenen contracts?

Would rather have Eichel then

If Petey gets 8 X 9mil, we should be cheering in the streets.

IMO from his agents perspective, an 8 year deal is coming in at 10+

That is fine . It gives the team 3 more years to see if he is worth the value of his next contract. The cap is going up next year by a mil. If it climbs up a mil a year for the next three years and Petey gets 10 mil then instead of now it means the Canucks have three more mil in cap room . They can not afford 9 mil now for a player whose best year is 66 points.

For those wanting a lower AAV then bridge is your salvation 2/3yrs around 5-7M. Both QH and Petey on term will cost beyond available cap.

Believe stretched $16M cap by moving Ferland to LTIR can't happen until camp/season start. But that would be best 8yr offers like 8.5/9M and 7.5/7M (QH).

That would make things super tight for flat cap years but a huge gain to keep core together beyond that.

If you are separating the contract difference to only 1- 1.5 mil only then I would definitely take Eichel at five more years .

Thank you Carol

Petey I'd be fine with 8-8.5 x 8, he's injury prone and hasn't played a full season with missing significant time.

QH on the other hand should get no more than 6-6.5 x 3 on a bridge deal because he needs to show her can handle his own end as well as the offensive end. If he wants to commit to being a 3rd winger or a roving defensemen, then he doesn't get the massive deal. If he commits to being defensively responsible and plays a more balanced style I'd be more willing to give him the money. We need a Hedman or Ekblad like 1D, not a short skinnier version of Paul Coffey.

Eichel's well into prime years with a lot of baggage. Character rubs off like E. Kane. Could be as toxic as the Messier move for current core.

Maybe he just wants to make the playoffs like Captain Bo .

Why are you giving an injury prone player an eight year contract?
