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

[Jannik Hansen]

Great morning gift to wake up to.

 

[ExtremeColdWeather]

I would adventure 13x8

 

[GKJ]

It’s not even $12m? lol

 

[Three On Zero]

11.6 is about perfect for him, Canucks got a small discount

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That’s pretty good for Vancouver

 

[93gilmour93]

About a million or so less than I thought it would be

 

[canadianmagpie]

Great deal, very happy he's committed to Vancouver! Great price too!

 

[lakeshirts37]

11.6 is a steal

 

[ponder]

That’s a very good price, and term.

Any deal where the Nucks keep Petey is a good one, but getting 8 years at a totally reasonable price, that’s massive.

 

[FrankMTL]

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

I’m gonna guess 8x$12.

Regardless, it's easy to compare yourself to what another player is getting paid, regardless of the market.

Wow, 11.6 is a great deal.

I'm shocked.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Good deal!

Congrats Vancouver fans

 

[StickShift]

Wow. Good for the Canucks getting this done. They were not in an easy position and I think less experienced/skilled management may have bungled the situation and lost the player.

[Vergil]

All it took was the threat of playing with Finns for him to realize the error of his ways. Too good.

Congrats Vancouver!

 

[CupofOil]

That's a freaking steal for the Canucks, and to get him for 8 years. That's going to age very well with the rising cap. I hope this bodes well for Draisaitl negotiations.

To go from Benning to Allvin is like going from the outhouse to the penthouse.

 

[Coffee]

That's too much.

Or that's too little.

Depends on the numbers that come out.

11.6 mil

 

[canuckslover10]

I was expecting 12.5 for 8 years but 11.6 million is going to be such a steal in a couple of years.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

11.6 is good value. About 500K discount.

 

[thefutures]

Not bad. So much for 13+ per

 

[Go Wings]

That's a great contract for a great player.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Always cheer for the Canucks as they’re our brothers. Congrats guys, good price

 

[Luck 6]

11.6mil is a discount. Left about 1mil on the table.

That's a freaking steal for the Canucks, and to get him for 8 years. That's going to age very well with the rising cap. I hope this bodes well for Draisaitl negotiations.

Probably won't Petey was going to be an RFA at the end of this year while Drai is going to be a UFA.

 

[jfhabs]

Good job!

 

[Breakers]

Surprisingly cheap
