112 million, 8 years. 

[HKSR]

That's excellent news.  I'm hard on the guy, but I do want him in a Canucks jersey for the long term.

 

The takeaway from this, and the best part of it all is that now we know Petey is not waiting until the season is over to negotiate!  

 

Prediction is a deal is done before the TDL so PA/JR can make the moves they are looking at.

 

Great news overall!

[Gurn]

" He won't negotiate till  the off season"

 

now  " close to deal"  which I suppose could be true- maybe he is about to sign a deal he didn't negotiate;  but his agent did?

[Mando27]

Would be great news, it's obviously been a massive distraction for him. Despite him saying its not.

[The Brock Star]

This would be massive! Come on Petey, get er done!!!

[Bure10Kuzmenko96]

Hope it's not $12m though

[Attila Umbrus]

Once his contract is signed I bet we get our old Petey back. I need to see more smiles from him. I hate how distant he has been all year.

[Hammertime]

This is some girthy news hopefully it's not a chode of a deal.

It's going to be the biggest deal in Canucks history, by a lot

I'm as hard on Petey as anybody, but I do know based on production and comparables, he is worth about $11m to $12m.  If it means we can lock him up for 8 years, I'm good with it.  He'll be 33 at the end of the deal.

[Dom]

Rutherford/PA pressured him into signing - need to know what we can spend this deadline I suppose. 

[Jaimito]

What ever the contract is, I only care that he performs in the playoffs like he did in covid cup. 

 

Nux is paying him, not me. And the current front office has earned my trust in making the right deals.   

[Devron]

Like I said media is always stirring up crap then one day we see a report like this. And all the negative bickering and speculation for nothing

[Goose]

Im really confident in Petey.  He’s driven and loves hockey.  We will see the best EP40 as the years come. LGC

Probably more likely media's crap put enough spotlight and pressure on Pettey to sign. 

 

The leak came internally from the Canucks about taking calls on him. We know how tight PA runs his ship when it comes to leaks so likely part of the pressure campaign to get him to the table.

Good theory. I think the dude just wanted to play this year and everyone was on him to sign. Making it out like he didn’t wanna be here. Probably affected his play too. The whole thing was bullshit. Like Miller before him Petey wants to be here too 

[Canuck You]

Probably just wants to media to STFU!

[MeanSeanBean]

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he signs in short order. So many people giving me hell yesterday for being chill about the situation can eat my butt if he signs.

650 was talking about other teams would phone on Petey and Allvin would say we were going to re-sign him. Then the club that phone would call their media rat (in their market) and say they phoned on Petey. Didn’t hear any mention it came from our club.

I mean good for them though. Realistically MGMT needs to know where they stand. If Pete isn't part of the future then that opens up a ton of options to make deals at the DL that don't make sense if Pete is going to part of the future.  

[Rip The Mesh]

If it's going to get done sooner then later; Maybe we see a more driven, confident Pettersson. That has, to a large degree, been missing of late.

I don't want him to break our bank, but I think we want him to stay, an even though Tocchet rode him pretty hard today. Probably all  part of the process.

My personal opinion is Petey wants to stay. Make no mistake though; I don't think he's going to get more then 10., maybe 10.5.

I don't see him as a 12 mill player. Those dudes not only have to score, they have to take the pounding, hits, and carry their team's on their shoulders.

If it's the right price the max term wouldn't bother me.

Are you a cat? 

[TopCheese]

Petey wants to win so getting him signed before the deadline would be huge on knowing how much they can add to make a run it also gives management some time to work on ideas for some of our soon to be UFA and locking up hronek 

[Outsiders]

Petey can't take the pressure from us lol
