Go Hawks!
Sorry....forgot he signed a new one. Still think its wishful thinking to think it's anything less than a high $11 to mid $12m/yr.
Rumor: Canucks on the verge of signing Elias Pettersson for eight years!

I heard this from JT's little brother QT.
Most irrational front office in the league?
Delusional just like Canucks fans who would dare discuss trading Pettersson for a downgrade.

Unless the rumors are true and it's a sign and trade with Carolina for necas + nikishin + jarvis?!

Not if Nikishin wouldn’t be in the trade come the summer and VAN felt like this was their best chance to get a legit top pair D/C prospect.

It's ignorant as far as I'm concerned. They're risking the season by pushing this to the forefront for no reason and they will definitely be worse off from a talent perspective if they foolishly trade him. Just incredibly short sighted and arrogant.
It gives me so much confidence that Allvin and JR were into deep discussions with Carolina, a place where you could actually net some serious value if we were forced to trade Pettersson.

Mackinnon probably was grumbling when rantanen got a way bigger deal just a coupke years after him. Just not publicly.
But I wouldn't say petey is 50% better than miller, that's for darn sure.
Was Vegas' FO short sighted and arrogant for the aggressive moves they made in trading beloved players out to improve in order to win a cup?
If the player is dicking around and preventing them from making non-rental deals because they have no idea if he actually wants to be in Vancouver long term, are they 'ignorant' if they push to get the deal done so they actually have an idea of the cap structure moving forward?

Absolutely love the stones on Allvin and JR.
They don't f*** around.

Amazing.

Sounds like Carolina actually offered a package Rutherford would have considered. You can infer from that Rutherford was like ... look if you want out I can probably facilitate that but we'd also love to sign you.
I think Allvin is doing great, but let's be honest stuff at this level is pure JR chess.

Jim Benning today when he realized there are alternatives to running out of time:
Even if so, would still be an unheard of move for the top team in the league to make. Maybe they would have done it but still hugely risky.
Management put the long term needs of the franchise at the top of the priority list, which is what good management does. They have shown incredible patience with him this year, but with the team leading the division and wanting to make decisions that effect the long term success of the team they needed to know clearly whether he was in or out.

What an amazing contract that's turning out to be. JT is on another level right now in terms of compete level.
