He won’t be here so he doesn’t give a shit

He finished his three year entry contract . RFA lasts 7 years . He has 4 more years of RFA and signed for 6 so they bought 2 years.

I think you're off by 1 year, think they bought 1 year of UFA.

The people who thought Hughes would get like 5-6 mil

Dreger…

“As reported, the term for Hughes is 6 years and the term for Pettersson is 3 years. Two side are still grinding on the final details before signing off on exact aav for each.”

Probably the same people that though that Myers at 6 M a year was going to be an overpayment.

What about the group that thought Petey was going to get 9 x 8 years.

If I remember correctly no one here guessed correctly.

If Pettersson kills it the next few years it’s gonna cost the Canucks dearly in the long run. If he doesn’t, then no issues.

Yes but it buys cap space & time to re-up BB Bo & JT.

Who said 6yr/5-6m? Nobody

Imac said they won't announce it tonight.

Maybe a press conference tomorrow?

Rumour that Canucks are trying to trade Hamonic to an American team for a RHD but teams aren't that interested in an unvaccinated player.

I was hoping that Petey was getting the 6 year deal and Hughes the 3 year deal.

Oh the irony of the USofA. Too rich lol

It wasn't the dollar amount that was wrong, it was term. People (including me) expected around 6 on a 3 year deal based on Dahlin. Had someone said it would be a 6 year deal, my/our expectations on AAV would have been adjusted just like they would be on a max term deal. So, I'm more surprised that it wasn't a bridge (also based on Dahlin) not the dollar amount which isn't all that bad.

Me as well. Now that we know Petey is 3/7.7 & Hughes 6/7.75 we can project the future somewhat. Hughes actually becomes a very tradable asset if we change gears eg Bones grows into what I believe he can be.

Just speculation right now, I’m also reading on Twitter Petey may be 8x3.

Nobody has traded for him yet. Metro has no Canadian teams. Little bit less cross border travel.

He can take maintenance days off & avoid bringing covid to Canada.

Back to Long Island? I don’t think they have a lot of cap?

It is more indicative to why these negotiations took so long. Canucks fans aren't used to negotiating with superstar players lol. Sedin at 7 million and luongo at 6.75 being the highest contracts prior sort or shows the lack of super stardom the franchise has had.

Petey said he wanted to see where the team was in a couple years this summer, so it doesn't surprise me he took the shorter deal instead of Hughes though.

Hamonic, Juolevi + 1st for J. Carlson
