I don’t think Petey realizes that he’s a big star here in Vancouver.
The Canucks are nut. 2 1/2 more than Miller? Should have got something good for him
Well played. Act like there's a deal on the table in Carolina (a place I'm sure Elias doesn't want to go) just to get him to the bargaining table, then make him a serious and substantial offer and get a deal done quickly. Everyone could see the weight of this RFA think was weighing on him and management put a stop to it as quickly as they could. Good job, guys. Very good job. We knew it was going to be for roughly this amount on a long term deal and let's not pretend the so-called "comparable" William Nylander, all due respect, is as good an overall player as Pettersson. At his best, Elias is an elite 2 way centre who needs to work on his strength and face-offs. He hasn't been that lately, and that's the point. Get this over with so the team can move forward. Well played, gentlemen and ladies, well played. I understand Emilie Castanguay does a lot of the contract negotiations and if that's the case, good job, Emilie. Now let's add some depth, get some guys back and get back on track.
Yes pleas thank you your the best P
Agree. I think Petey has to honestly no try and do too much more just yet.
He's a leader and fantastic BUT he isn't ever going to be a Conner. It's an horrible mistake to try and expect that and I hope Vancouver develops him as the player he is. Vancouver has enough talent teamwise not to rush Petey too hard, and he and the team should get the best overall ROI for this contract. I think Toccet is the right man to understand this balance. This should be excellent news for the Nucks.
you can see the relief on his face after he signed
Waste of money
EP40 was so scared about coming to Carolina that he took less than 12 AAV to stay in Vancouver 😭
Alrighty then, lets go play some Hockey, go Canucks go.
He can now put a down-payment on a house in Vancouver, proud of him
An obscene amount of money and I hope we do not regret nor hear another "my contract sucks" albatross setting us back another decade or two.
It’s a happy day 🙂 Go Canucks Go !
Sweet but as canucks fan what happens if he stops producing. Will his income pay be cut
Video is way, way too quiet. Please fix the volume on the next one
Ok you got your money, now be consistent
crosby to the canucks
Yeah well no more whining now
Lol he can almost buy a house in van now
Great to have Petey extended
THE REALITY: This is yet another long-term franchise debilitating multimillion dollar no-trade contract. ✔️
PETEY over MATTHEWS
WE WANT THE CUP
