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

[schuelma24]

Wow, good deal for Vancouver. Congrats.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Fair deal

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

that's a really nice contract for Vancouver. Seems like Pettersson left money on the table. Be nice if a Leafs player did that from time to time...

It's clear to me now that any hesitation had to do with being competitive and wanting to win. He sure did leave money on the table, and it wasn't just a kind gesture to ownership. The guy wants to play on a winning team.

25, on pace for second 100 point season in a row. I certainly thought it was going to take more than $12 million, and closer to $13 million, a year to sign him given the procrastination by his camp.

A win for the Canucks here.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

11.6 per that's a pretty good deal imo

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Congrats Nuck fans! Great deal.

 

[Coffee]

Congrats Nucks. What a talent.

I still remember watching EP and Mudskates Lias dominate Sweden juniors.

The different paths we take, eh.

You guys have Zibanejad and Trocheck who are great in their own right

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I wonder if this is the result of an 'all-nighter'.

I'll give you results in an all nighter all right.

 

[atreyuavenged]

That's a good price.

 

[andora]

Over paid by 2.6 M.

He will have to be one hell of a player to live up to this.

Show your work for the class

 

[dirtydanglez]

fair for both sides. nice to see it finally got done.

 

[RedHawkDown]

That’s a really good deal. Toronto should take note.

 

[tarheelhockey]

This really pushes the Zac Funk signing out of the spotlight.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

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

Exactly this. Very happy with that number. I know Miller is older, but having him, EP40, and Hughes locked in for <$28M for the next few years is golden.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Fantastic deal.

 

[Breakers]

Thank God we have Suzuki for 4 mil less.

Pettersson is quite a bit better than Suzuki.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Pettersson is quite a bit better than Suzuki.

Oh god not this shit again.

 

[rynryn]

ridiculously great deal!!!! in four years that's going to look even better. Awesome

 

[viper0220]

Great deal, will only look better as the cap goes up.

 

[Wildcarder]

When Nylander signed for 11.5 there was no way Pettersson was getting less. Love the pettiness of it being 0.1m more.

It being under 12m is a win for Vancouver.

 

[Acallabeth]

Great deal, I expected AAV to be higher.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

This really pushes the Zac Funk signing out of the spotlight.

Is EP really worth 14 Zac Funks? I think we need to find 13 more Zac Funks to take on EP and see which team wins.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I’m not jealous, nope, not at all.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Thank God we have Suzuki for 4 mil less.

4 mill less for Suzuki is about right tho.

 

[DekeyPete]

Woo-hoo!!!!
