Dont compare with Tampa. It’s like comparing apples and peanuts.I dont think so
Brayden Point got 6.75 million coming off 42 goals and 92 points.
He may have got the most powerful agent in the game, but it won't help him with this play.
Y2K burner account confirmedSafer pick was Vilardi he has 2 goals this season
Do you think he's just going to continue this way all season? I wouldn't. He's too good. A few multi point games and he's back at PPG. It's only a matter of time before he starts getting touch points on the PP also, it'll even out that way.Legit think Canadian teams just have his number. I bet he'll have a down year and then go back to his PPG or even better self next year.

15 multi point games as a rookie, 4 of them with 3 or more, Two 5 point games.He's never really had a slump this bad, though. I think it'll affect his total as we like 15% into the season already. I think he'll slump for a few more games and then return his usual self as he starts getting his timing and confidence back, but it won't be enough to overcome the ground he's lost during the slump. My guess is .8-.85PPG.
Any way he leaves Nucks?
And some people in this thread said he wouldn’t care or change in a contract year
Ray Ferraro is talking about it right now on TSN
Said he hated contract years and performed terribly as it is sooo much pressure. But had 40 goal campaigns the year after contracts
Then you got guys like Jeff Skinner who had a 30 and 40 goal campaign in contract years.
said he can’t imagine what kids are going through now as if you look at some comparable these kid are getting $40 million in bonuses over the course of the first two seasons.
Do we know if Petey is close to Miller? Miller was vocally pissed with the lose of Marky, Tanev, and Tofu. Maybe Petey and Miller are both super pissed at our management, and their frustration is getting to their play?The second-hand info I got was that he's pretty pissed with how the team kept lowballing Markström, with whom he is close, and is pretty much demonstrating that he's not going to yield to them. Could have a lot to do with his headspace now too, who knows.

Short sample size is part of the Benning mantra. He watched Juiolevi for 3 games at the WJCs and then proclaimed “that’s our guy”, and disregarded the scouts, didn’t he? He then tried the same small sample mantra to draft Glass over EP, and Linden stepped in, right?This is why basing value of a contract by the contract year is redicuously stupid.
If Pettersson has a horrible season it's great for the Canucks. I really hated all those people saying he's getting $10 million which he was never worth. How about $6 over 3 years?

Sutter is our stealth 1C.Try him with the goal machine Sutter why not. Demote Boeser for LACK lusster effort, get Gaudette back in there and put our top point getter UP to the first line. Also bring up the local Shotgun guy up to the first line with Millsy and Captain B. Horvat
Miller Horvat Virtanen
Hoglander Gaudette Pearson
Pettersson Sutter Macewan
Motte Beagle Boeser
Everyone sees the inequity in the salary cap.
Players are not stupid. Players these days DO have arithmetic skills.
When your employer callously lets your closest (and top producing) friends walk to a direct competitor and expects you to continue to perform like a f***ing monkey with underskilled and undertalented scrubs... well... that's complete and utter horseshit and that employer can go f*** themselves.
Those games against Calgary were BRUTAL. Chris and Jacob are pros and can handle it but Petey and Quinn are just kids and Petey's body language was so terrible. I feel so bad for the players.
There is zero consideration for anyone except for themselves from this front office.
And that's not Benning or Weisbord. These two are just useful idiots.
That is the crux of the toxic Aquilini culture.
They aren't stupid. They are extremely aware of the weak links on their team and who really carries the load.They may not be stupid, but players are dumb. If Pettersson can't see that not re-signing Markstrom and Tanev was done with the specific goal of being able to re-sign him and Quinn in the near future then he is thicker than he looks (and he looks like a rake).
They aren't stupid. They are extremely aware of the weak links on their team and who really carries the load.
They see players like Myers, Loui, Beagle, Sutter, Roussel, Benn, Baertschi who contribute little to nothing and yet make 27 mil combined. And then the couple guys that were truly carrying the team with them walk.
Benning blew 11.5 mil cap only one year prior on a pile of crap that contributes next to nothing so letting the real contributors walk merely one year later over the exact same money can't make sense to the guys on team who understand who really carries the load.
That is true, but they also probably overvalue players who are good teammates. Neither Markstrom, nor Tanev are worth what Calgary paid for them even if they are slightly better than the players that the Canucks replaced them with. Sure they may have been well-liked guys, but Holtby and Hamonic seem likeable too and are younger. Yes past mistakes played a part in those guys not getting re-signed, but in this case, not spending big money on a goalie is likely the correct use of money, so while Pettersson may not like it short term, if he is as intelligent as he seems, he will probably come to appreciate it in the long term.
You cannot both criticize Benning for spending too much on ageing free agents in the past and for not doing so now. Whatever the reasons, the correct free-agency decisions are now being made, and that should be lauded. Otherwise we may encourage management to slip back into their old ways.
I mean it's the Pettersson thread not the management thread so I'm taking his perspective - he watched 11.5 mil of garbage signed to term the year before, ostensibly to "compete now". A first and 3rd was traded last summer to "compete now." Then there was a significant buy at the deadline to "compete now". Every message to the players was we're all in on competing now.That is true, but they also probably overvalue players who are good teammates.
