I just read minutes ago Ott wants to do a bridge deal with Tkachuk 3 x 3 . I doubt they will offer Petey 10 mil +.

Unreliable source, but wild if true.

Brady is worth what Svechnikov got. A much better player than his brother, who got 7 million.

I agree but if it is true Ottawa are either mad or mad genius

I get that and would gladly take their first round pick for the next four years but I would still force them to overpay on their RFAs for the next 10 years.

It would make for an interesting decade of offer-sheets

3 million is a slap in the face. The kid, in my opinion, is a top 50 in the league.

Not probably, he literally said he would. No team in the league has the balls nor the means to OS Petey over 10 mil, 0 chance he leaves Van.

...and Edler will retire as a lifelong Canuck.

It is hard not to enjoy the chaos

I gotta say plumbingbuzz has been a great respite to the dog days of the summer off-season!! Amazing how everyone snipes at each other daily but one guy has irrigation issues and everyone jumps to help this is great!!!!!

An interesting tidbit on the Kotkaniemi signing

Puck Pedia: Next offseason either the Carolina Hurricanes or Montreal Canadiens could file for Club Elected salary arbitration for Kotkaniemi and request 85 percent of his current salary. That would come in at $5.185 million. They would retain his rights and wouldn’t have to send him a $6.1 million qualifying offer.

That would never happen.

In what scenario do you envision Petey leaving Van? I don't know of a single team that both has the cap space and is willing to part with 4 1sts. Anything below that and JB will match.

An OS for Petey that stands any chance of pulling him out of Van ain't happening, the reason everyone is talking about it is because there's been very little news for weeks and the media is getting everyone keyed up over nothing.

How much did you hear about the KK offer sheet before it happened?

That would never happen.
- CanuckDon

Freidman thinks this is just a move to steal KK and an immediate extension at a reasonable hit is already in place.

I guess KK had hurt feelings about being a healthy scratch in the playoffs .

You're deflecting, try to come up with any realistic scenario in which Pettersson is no longer a Canuck.

Okay so you have no argument, good talk.

I was trolling mostly, but yeah, unless someone offers Petey 15m x 8, and no one would be dumb enough to do that or have the capspace to do that, he isn't going to sign an OS from someone.

Connor Murphy extended 4 x 4.4 in Chi

Not according to Bonnie.

Not true. I laid out a scenario where a team could force the Canucks to either match a very risky deal or take 2 firsts a second and a third as compensation.

It would also be risky for the team offering that contract, as he would be a UFA when it expired, but they would have the ability to negotiate a new deal in the final year of the offer sheet.

We all know JB matches in that situation though, he is real big on kicking the can down the road.

I agree he would match $10.2 x 4.

Risk would be the team doesn’t compete as he had hoped and Petey walks (though he could be traded). Benefit is they could negotiate a long term deal in the final year.

Aquilini matches, Sedins match, Benning match’s. The whole org does. They aren’t starting a new rebuild ffs
