Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

no matter how you try to spin it, $11.6m for 45 and 51 points is not good. yeah in another 5-10 years maybe it'll be the norm. but when he signed it and currently, it's a bad contract. and paying an older 60sih point player $11-13m is just as bad. so what is jack hughes going to get on his next contract? $20m? lmao.
To me you can't compare these players. Hischier is a great two way player who does not fall down very much if ever and can play hard minutes and can be put in most situations where Petey is still mostly a perimeter and very soft player. Nico earned his money while Vancouver gambled on Petey. They took a couple elements from the team and his game disappeared. Not a mystery either. Other elements allowed him to play better and they took it away. Hiscier did not need the security as much as EP40. Vastly stronger player. Without those elements Petey will languish. As Boeser to. Overpaid and not effective players. Who are the blue chipper players on the team?
Been saying this since Petey signed. 11.5 is a 80 pt contract
It's less about the contract for me since they've announced the rebuild. It's about starting fresh, the Hughes Pettersson Miller era is over. Move on and let both sides just reset.
Peterson the worst value in all the nhl, close second is nurse
hischier peaked @ 80 pts in 81 games 4 yrs ago (never quite a pt. a game player), now it's been under 70 pts each season since then…13mill for that? > welcome to the way overpaid NHL
