Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] F Elias Pettersson signs extension with Canucks (8 years, $11.6M AAV)

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

8 x 12.75

 

[SnS]

14 per?

 

[GKJ]

Media saying he was wanting out, drawing unwanted attention

The Vancouver media market is an absolute zoo and the Pettersson situation was a white hot topic that needed to be solved.

Yeah, that sounds like bullshit. Player and team shouldn’t be allowing that to affect them. Doesn’t matter what market it is. I can see them wanting him signed before having a huge playoff, since that price never goes down.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

8x11?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

This was never in doubt.
























No.

 

[Rubi]

8 x $13?

 

[Gardner McKay]

14 per?

Yeah I'm thinking in the 13-14 range. 12.5 would be fair and I think 12 and under is a good for the nucks.

 

[FrankMTL]

I mean Nylander is getting 11.5 x 8 and he's older and plays wing (as opposed to centre). I can't see anything under 12.5 to be honest

 

[93gilmour93]

I'll guess 12.5 - 13 x 8

 

[Ezpz]

That's too much.

Or that's too little.

Depends on the numbers that come out.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

The dream is dead lol

 

[ponder]

HUGE for the Nucks. I’ll guess 8x$12.

 

[SnS]

Yeah I'm thinking in the 13-14 range. 12.5 would be fair and I think 12 and under is a good for the nucks.

I don’t see it under 14M per, so anything under that would shock me.

That’s what it was, that’s why all the smoke around a trade to Carolina.

 

[Mr Bop]

8 x 11.6 per Seravalli

 

[waitin425]

Thank God we have Suzuki for 4 mil less.

 

[andora]

Anything under 11.5 = great
11.5 - 12.5 = expected
Over 12.5 = pricey

 

[CorgisPer60]

Whew lad, Petey got paid. Good for him.

 

[SnS]

Wow. 11.6. That’s insane.

Even as a Leafs fan, you can’t really use Leafs salaries as benchmarks, we pay our stars higher than everyone basically always. Agents lick their lips when negotiating with the Leafs.

I’m gonna guess 8x$12.

 

[Chainshot]

Good news for the Canucks! I'm curious to find out what the AAV is, but for one of the best centers in the NHL, it can be pretty high and still not be an issue.

 

[lakeshirts37]

It is virtually impossible to find 90-100 point star players these days. Basically have to develop them because they rarely hit FA anymore or get traded.

artemi panarin says hi

 

[Mighty Makar]

$11.6M.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Let's see how much it is

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

11.6 is a pretty great cap hit for Pettersson. A million less than I expected. That gives Vancouver a bit more room for a depth guy, in net.
