More like Petterson doesn't want to commit long term with the Canucks.
Shocking!

whatever. Nothing more tedious than RFA negotiations. Just get it over with and start the season.

Ideally I would do it the other way around. But might be a case of necessity. I would be hesitant to extend Hughes longterm in light of what other DMen got this offseason, but if they can get him at around the Chabot contract I'd be more on board.

Ekman Larsson trade looks better every day
Cannot blame him if true. I hope not tho but this Benning management group is something else

Wow, look at the constructive conversation. From a fan of an equally poor performing team.

Makes sense. Pettersson is going to maximize his next contract as he's going to be one of the top centers and those guys will cash in.
Getting Hughes locked up will be cheaper and fits the cap space they have left.

These kids are all spoiled these days. Drai and McDavid signed big deals. These guys should learn from them

Overall career earnings would probably be better maximized by signing a ufa year or two now.
Like with Couturier and Landeskog who got max term when they begin those deals at 29 and 28, with late birthdays.
I would preferably lean more to term with Petey and bridge to Hughes. Canucks have close to $16 mill factoring in the Ferland ltir. Aho deal for 5 years at $8.5 should work.
A Sens fan saying this lol.

My point is that you are jerking your ego off instead adding anything constructive.
8 years on Hughes makes sense depending on what the ask is. For Pettersson I would almost prefer a bridge, if played right it could ensure better team control through his prime even if the contract rate isn’t quite as favourable.
I would have gone the other way.
More confident Pettersson will continue improving than Hughes.

I think they will both improve, but it's easier to build a team around at #1C than #1 Offensive D.

That’s a little far fetched
, he probably knows he can bridge now and cash in huge after

Can you guys stop bickering. Your teams are all terrible.
Jokes aside, seriously relax guys, it could also be that EP feels that he’s not getting the money he’s worth because of last seasons. So a 2 year bridge deal could allow him ample time to show he’s worth more.

If Petey is on his way out, they should ship him and Hughes to NJ for a boatload back. NJ might jump at the chance of the Hughes trio.
