Confirmed Signing with Link: [VAN] D Marcus Pettersson re-signs with Vancouver (6 years, $5.5M AAV)

[MikeK]

That's an incredibly good deal for the Canucks.

 

[Peter Griffin]

It still is

Overall, that is. The Pittsburgh deal was fine. The Rangers deal is still a big L

I wasn’t talking about the Rangers deal.

You don’t read the news, do you?

I thought his last 5x$4.05M deal was riskier for the team than this deal (especially with how the salary held over the last 5 years vs the next 2) and that worked out

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Can’t wait for Seravelli to shit all over this deal.

MP probably stole his sandwich way back when and he’s never forgiven him.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Wow that's a gift of a contract. He takes a team friendly deal once again.

 

[Kuzko]

Never forget Loui Eriksson's 6x6

Steal of a contract

Defence looks good until Hughes leaves. Forward group looks terrible.

Quinn Hughes' Agent Pat Brisson Breaks Silence on Speculation Surrounding Hughes' Future with the Canucks

Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes' agent Pat Brisson comments on if he thinks his client will play at the 4-Nations Faceoff in the next couple weeks.

I know NJ's fanbase pines for him everyday, but I have no idea why anyone thinks QH will leave the team that he's captain of, that developed him into what he is, is building the team around him, and just signed a major part of the puzzle for cheap.

It’s because it’s Vancouver. He’s an Oiler’s fanboy and tries to trash Vancouver whenever he can. He’s also an idiot when it comes to assessing hockey talent and ability.

Go on ..

It looks like the team is back to focusing on defense that can move the puck well and are mobile. DPetey is house money with how much he's improved this year, but if he can maintain along with MPetey, I'm guessing the trickly down effect will keep The One Born Of Chaos playing well and allow Soucy to rediscover the better elements of his game.

Takes the pressure off the forwards as well.

This is what happens when you’re 35 going on 65.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Congrats Vancouver solid deal

 

[Vitto79]

Seems like a good team deal

 

[Peter Griffin]

He’s tried to become the next Bob McKenzie and somehow aged worse than Bob.

 

[Three On Zero]

It definitely makes it better for sure, because all the pieces are playing really well for Vancouver, but it’s still blows, losing a player like JT Miller, but this makes a lot more sense now after everything done.

It stings, he isn’t an easy replaceable player, but filling all those holes helps. Petey just needs to find his game now

 

[bobbyb2009]

Canucks just announced they are looking to move him

Because of an unmanagable rift with the team BULLY Quinn Hughes. One of them has to go

Go on .

players with no trade clauses, who on on contracts that take them until they are 37, don’t usually get great returns

but by all means, tell us it was a “bad deal” by showing us the comparables

You can continue try to justify giving up a 100 point player for some second and third line players if it makes you feel better, but you aren't convincing the rest of us.

 

[SEALBound]

Exactly what I said I thought he would get if he stayed with the Penguins. Great deal for Vancouver.

 

[boredmale]

The Rangers deal is still a big L

Short term I don't think it was that good for the Canucks but long term Canucks might be happy not having that Miller contract when he is like 35+

 

[Rudy Russo]

Great deal for the Canucks. I'd thought he would get at least a million more per season.

Hughes - Hronek
M Pettersson - (Myers)
DPetey - Soucy

Forbort - Willander
Mancini

Man, what a great mix of youth and talent

We also have a lot of space to add a playmaking winger, hopefully one that fits with EP.

Have to give props to Allvin for turning a disgruntled player who's 32 and locked up till 2030 for a potential situation in Chytil that JT himself used to become a star (elevated role, minutes) a legit #3 on a great contract, a promising young RHD while also unloading two contracts of players that were clearly swings and misses.
