Confirmed with Link: Pettersson Signs 8 Year Deal with the Vancouver Canucks, AAV $11.6M

[PuckMunchkin]

What a steal.

Our management is on a roll.

Holy crap it feels so good to be able to say that after a decade of horror.

“Canucks had a 12 million dollar offer last summer and Pettersson rejected”

Officially, this guy is NOT a valid source.

It was not about the money.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Show your work

Hubderdeau makes 10.5 million.
Tavares makes 11 million.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

So how about the beef with Huggy and Hronek ROFLLLLL

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Well. That was dramatic.

He did leave a lot of money on the table. But this contract really doesn't make sense FOR HIM.
At the end he is 33/34 years old so his last contract will not be for much but he could have done a 3 year deal at this rate and then a 8 year at a higher amount to finish his career.

You under estimate the power of compound interest...

Wait WHAT?

Its like saying someone in the neighborhood owns a ferrari when you saw a ferrari drive by

Hubderdeau makes 10.5 million.
Tavares makes 11 million.

I just wish sometimes atleast an effort was made to back up bullshit

 

[Flik]

So how about the beef with Huggy and Hronek ROFLLLLL

I think what they meant was that all future Italian Beef sandwiches for Huggy and Hronek will be on Petey.

LOL classic

I am so glad we had Rutherford’s experienced hand leading this negotiation. He brought the sauce.

It’s clear to me that they were feeding just what they needed to via the media to put some pressure on Pettersson to sign when they otherwise couldn’t get him to engage. That’s what tilted the ketchup upside down.

The trade talk this week was a well-timed knoxk to the neck of the bottle.

Benning would’ve bungled the negotiation and traded him for trash.

 

[MikeK]

Seems like a fair deal given the his age, market and landscape of the NHL these days. Glad it's done and this isn't hanging over him and the team anymore. Time to get back to hockey.

 

[DekeyPete]

Woo-hoo!!!

Press release on a Saturday at 6:59am? What in the actual f***?

Likely wanted to do it before team leaves for the road trip. Allow potential for full media availability (because only a couple of guys travel with the team).

This deal will look good in a couple of years if the cap makes big jumps. I also have a suspicion we might hear of another move or two in the next 24-48 hours.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Not bad. Was expecting 12+.

 

[rypper]

Awesome.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

This news coming out at 6:59 am on a Saturday is hilarious

 

[JT Milker]

Good deal. Hopefully the team stops playing like dogshit now.

 

[theguardianII]

What will the market talk about now?
The losing streak?
That was glossed over because to the contract talk heat.
What next?

Hronek's negotiations?
The TDL should take up another 10 days.
Tocchet's doghouse?
The single goal attributed to a single player that cost the game in a 10-7 game? Or some game?
The wild idea that this year looks like a reversal of the last two? Where they were so good the last half of the season but not great at the beginning and this year they win loads in the start, like they were at end of the last two seasons? I meant the W/L records are almost just reversed.

Hockey?

Next!

 

[LemonSauceD]

Next make Hronek sign a $6.5M contract or threaten him with a trade to Carolina Lol

 

[Canucker]

Full NMC after the 24-25 season...that might have also contributed to a slight haircut.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

It's below market value but if he's worth 11.6 then Miller is worth 20+.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

f***ing yes!!! Awesome news. Now let’s go about the business of winning a Stanley Cup here, boys.

Also - I’d like to cordially invite all the media talking heads who were negative nellies about Petey’s desire to be here / his friction with Miller / surprise of his teammates / weird he isn’t talking or signing / something weird is going on there…

…to kiss my ass. Best part of this deal is that we lock up a superstar center. Second best is that these talking heads can move on and stoke the flames of controversy for somewhere else for awhile.

 

[Tact]

This is a win for everyone. Owners, fans, management and Pettersson. When you have these deals when everyone wins, it will really boost morale.

Under 12M? Check.
8 years? Check
Signed before TDL? Check
JR and PA can continue to build? Check

What a win. I’m more impressed it’s under 12M. Congrats everyone. Now let’s turn this ship and get on a winning streak again. Let’s play some hockey.

[JT Milker]

It's below market value but if he's worth 11.6 then Miller is worth 20+.

Agreed.
