The parties were very familiar with each other. A big help. Discount I would say. Not many players do that.

Do you realize how much cap space the Canucks are lining up? There will be moves at forward.

What are you talking about. You’re the one who started by baselessly saying he’s leaving. So I responded by saying nah he isn’t. And you’re asking ME for proof. Makes no sense.
Term is maybe 1 or 2 years too long, but the cap hit is manageable for 6 years so pretty happy.

The only concern is, the Canucks keep spending money on the blue line, yet still only have ONE Dman who can consistently push pace and “carry a pairing.”
Pettersson is a top of the line, Top 4 support Dman. Your not getting him transporting the puck and pushing pace though.
They have to try him with Hronek now, and just tell Hronek, that’s your pairing. Make it work. No more supporting Quinn and taking the easy way out. Earn your AAV.
Soucy is going to go somewhere else now, and probably look just fine playing the role he’s good at. Not the one the Canucks tried pushing him to play.

a recap: i said vancouver's defense looks good until hughes leaves. you said hughes isn't going anywhere. i asked you for proof. you have none. i don't have any proof that's he's leaving, since it is an unknowable outcome for anyone except for quinn
however, there is more reason to suspect that he will leave than he won't: locker room drama. management being forced to ship miller out for less than market value. the allure of playing with his 2 brothers on a contender. the fact that he signed his current contract to walk him directly to ufa. his desire to contend and the likely decline of the canucks. he's american playing in canada. the poor exchange rate of us-canadian currency means less take home money
reasons to suspect that he will stay: he was drafted there and he's the captain
not very compelling

Great deal for the Canucks. Works great for flames too who will probably use it as comparative for Bahl extension.

That is a fantastic deal for the Canucks especially with the cap rising that will look like peanuts. MP definitely did them a solid taking a discount. That d-core is looking scary good especially with how great Elias Pettersson (dman) and Tom Willander look.
Quinn Hughes - Filip Hronek
Marcus Pettersson - Tom Willander
Elias Pettersson - Tyler Myers
Is what I expect as soon as next season. Mancini, Mynio, Kudryavtsev still on the way. Jealous.

Dylan Sambergs extension as well.

You under-rate the importance these players have with stability in their lives. Makes me think you're quite young.
He's the captain and face of the organization. Him leaving is as far fetched as McDavid leaving the Oilers.

Your “recap” proves exactly what I said about the brokenness of your logic… telling me to prove the counterpoint to a baseless claim that YOU made out of nowhere. Notice the complete lack of likes for your earlier posts and all of the likes on mine. Pretty clear who is making sense here.
Captain of the team, great management, world class city, made it to Game 7 of Round 2 just last year (closer to Cup than the Leafs got at any point in Matthews’ career yet he re-signed), locker room drama very likely over now that Miller is gone…
