Speculation: Who signs first and for how much? Q. Hughes, B. Tkachuk, Pettersson, Kaprizov, Dahlin

[Eggtimer]

Come on Brady Petey and Quinn……

 

[Bobby9]

Hopefully EP40 can take time off his social media influencing and hammer out a deal all Canucks fans will regret.

 

[GuerinUp]

what did i win?!

 

[Digitalbooya]

if he is being lowballed by the Wild, i don't belive he's been offered 5x$9, the best scenario for him is to hit UFA as soon as possible.

Wild fans tried to tell you

 

[Bounces R Way]

Good thing I saved my vote....

I'm voting Kaprizov

i was right nah nah nah nah nah.

what did i win?!

Dahlin next @ 6per for 3 years, so a bit of redemption for the rest of the voters.

3 horse race now between Hughes, Pettersson, and Tkachuk. Kind of have a feeling Brady is going to get the most contentious but Hughes and Pettersson's contracts kind of throw an extra wrench in things considering how related they are.

 

[vanarchy]

I wish to change my answer

No.

Never.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

Kaprizov, then Dahlin.

 

[rynryn]

Kaprizov, then Dahlin.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Petey will sign before Quinn - probably Brady is next

 

[thenextone]

Petey and Quinn will sign at the same time

I just don’t see how Vancouver has enough cap space to sign both Pettersson and Hughes, you have to think those two are looking at Kaprizov and Makar as comparables. I wouldn’t come off 8M if I were them. Benning has got to go, his obsession with handing out contracts to bottom six guys has got to stop.

Hand out big contracts to bottom six guys then play hard ball with your franchise players, just Benning things.

Hughes is closer to Dahlin

Hughes is closer to Dahlin

Offensive numbers gets you paid.

I don’t disagree, but he should still be closer to Dahlin lol

I just don’t see it, as bad as he is defensively he put up 97 points in 129 games. I think he comes in at 7.5M on a bridge.

 

[Postanin CB Ting]

Petty - 2y × 6.75
Hughes - 6y × 7.8

That’s delusional af. Quinn deserves 8+ if Dahlin got 6.

 

[Peen]

My pet peeve is when people talk numbers without attaching years to them.

A player can be worth 6.5 and 8.5 depending on term.

A blanket statement of “he has to be worth X” without giving the term attached makes f*** all sense to me

 

[Akrapovince]

I don’t know if this is an ignorant thing for me to ask, and if it is I apologize and in no way am I trying to come across as xenophobic.

But does it seem that the more recent classes of American born skaters tend to be holding out for more money?

Tkachuks & Hughes have came out and expressed their right to be paid what they believe they’re worth publicly to the media.

Really curious to see as the next wave of American superstars come off of their entry level if they choose to continue the trend. (Zegras, Caufield, Sanderson, etc)

It might just be an issue of ALL superstars as opposed to American superstars.

Just seen someone compare Petterssons career potential to Gretzky, Howe, Lemieux, Orr, and eventually McDavid. With a more likely upside of Pettersson being in the Lidstrom, Crosby, Sakic stratosphere. I hope Jimbo feels the same way.
