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

[Son of Petter]

It’s a great day to be a great day. LFG!!

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

If EP is worth 11.6 then Miller is worth 20 mill.

 

[drede]

Pretty fair value figured would have been 12m avv with 8 years

 

[Ulysses31]

Marner gonna dunk on this contract next year

 

[BKarchitect]

To get him to extend full term at this cap hit with the expected cap escalation is pretty damn sweet for the Canucks.

 

[Mez]

Seems fair, would be happy as a Nucks fan.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

I can’t even tell if the people calling this high are being ironic. In the real world, sure it’s a lot of money. But based on the current market and Pettersson’s production, it’s pretty clear he left money on the table.

 

[Canovin]

I had him signing at 11.5M so I was pretty close

Agree. Idk how this number can be considered high with a full 8 year term. The term is as important as 11.6

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Excellent.

Now that distraction is out of the way let’s start winning games again please.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Steal of a deal for a top 5 player in the NHL

Everyone knows it's a steal of a deal and so far it seems like everyone agrees with that.....If people say otherwise, it's jealousy

 

[McHelpus]

He can finally afford to rent a condo in Vancouver with that kind of money, Congratulations!

 

[Coffee]

Marner gonna dunk on this contract next year

As a Canucks fan, I can’t wait !

 

[Scoresberg]

Very solid for the Canucks. Congrats!

Who was the insider who said “the number starts with a 12”?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Can't believe that "we're gonna trade you to Carolina" bluff worked. Great job by the Vancouver FO. You won't be able to turn 11.6m into better player(s) than Pettersson the next 8 years.

 

[BKarchitect]

Thank God we have Suzuki for 4 mil less.

I know right? You could have TWO Josh Anderson’s for this contract and have money leftover for a nice dinner!

 

[viper0220]

Over paid by 2.6 M.

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

He is one hell of a player, I'd say he is underpaid.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Allvin has completely reversed the value of the contracts on the Canucks roster to the point it may be approaching one of the most cost effective rosters in the league.

Now just do Myers and Mikheyev.

 

[Realgud]

Seems like a great contract

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Good deal , took a paycut no?

Like the guy who has silver hair.

 

[StickShift]

• I thought the media said he rejected 12mx8y last year.
• I thought he wasn’t signing anything longer than 3y.
• I thought he had lockerroom issues with JT Miller.
• I thought he was pissed that Boudreau was fired.
• I thought he hated the ownership.

I thought it would too. EP is a very good hockey player. He's one of the few superstars who plays a good 2 way game and elevates the players around him.
