Twitter is reporting Canucks and the Agents had a very good meeting this morning and there is hope.

See where it goes but usually something happens soon after.

More details coming up on Sportscentre, but among our items in Insider Trading, it’s been a progressive week in the Hughes/Pettersson negotiations. Talks have intensified.

Sounds promising but Dreger seems to fallen off as an insider in recent years with cousin Nonis relegated to scouting duties

Let the new GM worry about that.

Others are reporting it too. I will guess tomorrow it is done.

Nonis the scout...OMFG.


Patrick White. The best Center not in the NHL.

I'd be really interested to hear what Joe Schmo has to say about this?

Talks this afternoon on-going.

Rumour was Hughes was closer but been told deals for both players are being done at same time.

Collusion?

He has moved on to the Brady situation

Big, if true

Who did you lend your account to this time?

Any guesses on the contracts before it's released today or tomorrow?

My guess Petey at 8.25m over 5 years, and hughes at 7.5m over 8 years.

EP $7.5 x 3
QH $6.25 x 3

Do it all again in three years or trade them in two years if Miller and Horvat are on the way out.

Likely still handled by Benning out of spite by FA towards the fan base and b/c he can

Duelling 6 years contracts.

Petey 6 years 9M
Hughes 6 years 7.5M

EP $7.5 x 3
QH $6.25 x 3

I am going to guess that your QH is pretty spot on, but I'll swing for the fence with a 9.25 x 8 on EP.

The league is full of collusion. Proving it is the laughable part.

That is right. Prove it . Not worth the effort.

Players are allowed to do it. It's collusion when it's management/ownership.

Ek’s latest post is a real head scratcher. I’m surprised some of his writers don’t volunteer to edit his work. His writing almost makes some of his credible writers illegitimate.

Arizona will get 3 first round picks this year ( theirs should be a top 5 pick) five second round picks . They have 51 mil in cap space next year so they will probably do the same thing next year taking one year bad contracts for high draft picks. Ice a terrible team again to go after Beddard and then put together a very competitive team the following year with 65 mil in cap room.

AZ been doing this for 10 years, they suck, and they are proof the 'trade for draft picks' doesn't always work.
