Phenomenal what he's doing on such a bad team. Kinda like Erik Karlsson on the Sharks (though Karlsson is even more impressive).

Pay the guy whatever he wants and build the damn team around him already. Let's hope he doesn't pull a Tkachuk.
 
This reminds me of Tim Hunter cheapshotted Turgeon in the 90's. There's no room for that, lightly or heavily, needs to be treated the same punishment to protect our players' investments.
Maybe not to that extreme, but agreed cheapshotting a player who just scored should result in some discipline.

We saw it with Scheifele and I believe Armia
 
I’m not surprised tbh. You could see it from the moment he stepped into the NHL that he was a special player. People said for the last few years that he was overrated. And while that was probably true to an extent, you could also see the talent that this kid had and that he’d eventually join the top centers behind McDavid. One of the few bright spots on a dismal season for Canuck fans.
 
im open to losing weight, but damn that chocolate cake looks good….

Meh, not too concerned about it. From everything that's been said by him, his agent, and our management, both sides will look to work out a long term extension. Even if he doesn't, unlike some other premier young star players who will be due for an extension or a chance to walk to UFA he's an RFA so we could still move him for a haul and be totally fine.

Currently tied for 7th in NHL scoring and the 3rd highest scoring C after McDrai...plus has been exceptional defensively this season. Wouldn't surprise me if he wins the Selke.
I think he's been better than Draisaitl this year. Probably the 3rd best C in the league at this very moment behind McD and MacK; but I would give Matthews the nod over him to stave off recency bias (Matthews is probably better in the bigger picture)

McD
MacK
Matthews
EP40
Drai/Hughes/Tage/Barkov/Crosby

imo
 
His QO will be $10,250,000, so his contract will probably be higher than that

The video isn't loading for me because of my internet on the train.

But wow, if it's being compared to the Turgeon hit, it must have been ugly or vicious.

Is Pettersson ok? Are we talking a few months out??

No his QO can not be more than $120% the caphit, as per recent change in CBA. His QO will be 8,820,000. reference:

  • For players who are on expiring contracts that were signed after July 10, 2020:
    • The Qualifying Offer is limited to 120% of their previous contracts annual average (AAV)
    • Reference: 2020 NHL CBA extension Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
