CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) That would give the Canucks anywhere between 35.5-36.5 million in cap space to work with: Pettersson, Hronek, Studnicka, Aman, Silovs, McWard and Podkolzin as key RFA's that would need to be re-signed.

Jess Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 $87M would be a bit lower than I would've guessed, but maybe they're being conservative. I think we might see increases of $5-6M for three or so years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the NHL hasn’t exactly been money on their projections the last few years… so I am not assuming that bump until it has been confirmed. Really for the Canucks it doesn’t matter much. The higher the bump, the more of it gets eaten up by Petterson. We would be better off with no increase for a couple years when we could get him locked up and then see the cap increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the bump so we can pay for OEL, that is going to suck for the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson puts up 85+ points and signs for 12M+x8 If we get more clarity towards the end of this coming season about future cap jumps I do think that will contribute to his being paid more Alternatively, I can very easily see a world where Pettersson isn't interested in a max term deal If the cap jumps 3-5m per season over the next few seasons he'd likely coming out making at least what he signs for on this next contract when he expires on his next contract Why sign for 11-12x8 when you can do like 11-12x4 and cash in on a larger longer term deal that'll pay more after? The more I think about it the more Petey signing longer term benefits the Canucks, Petey likely already bets on himself this coming season or a deal would be done, why wouldn't he do it again? 4 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Are you talking to yourself Coco?

Elias Pettersson Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) According to CapFriendly, we will have $31,683,333 in cap space with an $87.5 million cap. With 13 players signed. We will need around $19 million to sign Petey and Hronek. So will have just under $13 million left to sign 8 more players. Hopefully guys like Podkolzin, Silovs and Raty can crack the lineup so that we have some cheap contracts to fill the remaining 8 spots. We will have to go after some UFA’s again next summer. Probably need at least 2 Dmen and a 4th liner who can bang and crash and drop the gloves. Edited October 4, 2023 by Elias Pettersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Pettersson taking a shorter deal also gives him an opportunity to weigh his options regarding the Canucks as it'd take him to UFA Petey ain't a younger RFA, the Canucks don't have the leverage to strong-arm him into a longer term deal If he doesn't want one, he'll get paid regardless, especially if he wants to hold onto the UFA card Pettersson is in the driver's seat regarding his future and regarding the term of his deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also wouldn't be exclusively about money, taking a 3-4 year deal gives him an out if he's not pleased with where the Canucks are at or simply wants a change of scenery. Careers can go quickly and guys only get one, I don't begrudge guys wanting to keep their options open or to maximize their bag.
