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

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I might biased because this is a player I have liked for a couple of years now. But this is a great signing, the term does not bother me much we see this all the time that this type of defence man tend to age pretty well, look at Myers for all the flack he has gotten he has aged really well.

Great deal, NMC done after three years is a bonus.

Isn't it great having players that want to be here?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I said I would be stunned if he gave us an absolute gift at 5.5

I am officially stunned. That's going to age like fine wine. Hell, he could drop off at 33-34 and it will still be a great contract.

Happy with this deal…very nice bit of work.

Fire everyone!

Really....Phew. 7 mil? That was crazy talk.

Not resigning Zadorov was the correct decision and has worked out rather brilliantly for us

It gets better!

Fantastic signing. No other way to see it. Canucks just won the Miller deal.

He will be an amazing mentor for D Petey and Willander.

The only mistake with letting him go was trying to replace him with 6-7th defensemen and waiting so long to finally accept that wasn't working.

Thankfully, if there's one thing we can say about Allvin, it's that he isn't afraid to fix those mistakes even if it means dealing guys who just signed here a few months ago.

The organization is doing its best to remove the stench of the first half. Now there's just one more large issue to deal with (#40).

Zadorov may have also played a role in keeping Miller's locker room behavior in check.

Zadorov may have also played a role in keeping Miller's locker room behavior in check.

He also could've equally been on the clown show side of the locker room, he's got that vibe IMO. We'll never know! I did like him and was sorry to see him go. We have more of a Swedish swagger now, for better or worse, we'll see.

 

[Quinning]

Let's not kid ourselves - Zadorov at $3.5 million per would be amazing on this team. He just makes too much money

Tidy business. Seems they learned from the Zadorov move where they could have signed him shortly after acquisition but decided to wait and ended up losing him.

Not phased on the term, the cap hit would have probably been upwards of $6.5M on 5 years.

Strikes me as a guy who could age more like Tanev due to the nature of his game.

Kind of fascinating that Mike Rupp was on the NHL network yesterday and talked about Marcus Pettersson being a top 5 defensive defenseman in the game and here Dom's model gives him negative score for defensive impact.

Rare to see that from a UFA contract of a high profile UFa

I had it penciled for a mil more. This is very very good. Like VERY very good.

It's probably because the Penguins have been ass this year

His defensive numbers have fallen off this year - higher event hockey that on net has been good but hurt his defensive impacts.

He was hugely positive on the defensive side in the model the four seasons prior.

 

[Tact]

Steal of a contract

Yea this is what Pens fans said when the trade happened. His d numbers are greatly affected by how shit the Pens are in their own end.
