Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign Marcus Pettersson to a 6y/5.5m Extension

[Huggy43]

Y’all got any of those Brock Boeser extensions?!?!

 

[ghostingtaro]

the zadorov special

 

[Bobby9]

Great extension. I was expecting a lot more $$$ considering the rising cap. Also happy it's not 7 or 8 years

I wasn’t. Defensive DMen don’t make cake like Hughes/Makar/Bouchard do.

 

[DiggerDan]

Awesome!! Good number

There's better options for the Canucks on d than Pettersson, but he can't think of any right now, so give him time to put his trade board together and he'll get back to us.

This is a market that valued a career 4/5 LHD at 5m x 6

 

[moiderer]

Great deal. He and his agent probably could have wrung us dry given the weak D market but it's an incredibly friendly deal.

Tough circumstance losing JT for this to come together but so much better than the universe with Zadorov on a near par deal.

 

[M2Beezy]

Man I love this contract

 

[kanucks25]

Fantastic all around.

Not too long, not too much, and not much protection for when it'll matter.

 

[Hodgy]

I agree with everyone that this looks like an excellent deal. But we do need to acknowledge the risk of significant decline given Pettersson’s age.

 

[Bgav]

Great deal, makes the trade totally worth it now.

 

[WTG]

I agree with everyone that this looks like an excellent deal. But we do need to acknowledge the risk of significant decline given Pettersson’s age.

I think what I have learned with this management team that the team has no problem moving cap space out if it becomes a burden. I am not worried at all about it.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Umm wow that's actually way less than j thought. Great deal and definitely changes the value of the trade.

 

[quat]

Marcus, blind twice if you are being threatened into signing this beautiful contract.

Blind twice sounds not good.

Agreed. Hate the 6th year

This is an awesome signing to get a tanev replacement, that’s money we would have signed tanev for years ago without a rising cap…. Plus flexibility to trade him if his performance falls off a cliff in years to come. You a Juleson lover?

 

[Diversification]

Perfect. Team friendly AAV, NTC works with EP2's ELC. No notes!

 

[moiderer]

He'll be younger than Myers is now, in a world where the cap is going up 15-20M+ in the immediate future and only has a 15 team NTC in the back half.

There is a reasonable amount of risk and flexibility for the immediate gains and value he brings for the length of Quinn's current contract. Given the circumstance, 5.5x6 might be better than 6.5x5 or 7x4.

 

[Spectrefire]

Agreed. Hate the 6th year

Honestly, who cares by that point. Either the world's gone, or the cap's gone up to something like 200 million.

 

[valkynax]

Good contract.

Hey Frank, looks like you're seething with saltiness, how about getting your blood Sodium level checked? Might as well throw in cholesterol and A1C while you're at it.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

somebody on the radio earlier today said that when you avg. out all Petterssens contracts it’s great value all around

Oh ya, don’t get me wrong, I am happy with the deal. My point is that he will be 29 to start the contract and it isn’t uncommon for players to see a significant drop off in their play as they enter their thirties. Not saying it will happen here, or even trying to quantify the risk, but there is a risk.

I think though, with the rising cap, even if he declines to a 4-5 in years 3-6 or whatever, we will be OK.

Bold bet that there won’t be expansion within three years… I think Bettman wants to go out with a bang.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Great deal..Going to be a workhorse player for the Canucks.

Our D and goaltending could shape up to be our top strengths.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Was expecting 6.5 so this is a win
