Rumor: Canucks looking at Long Term deal for Hughes; Bridge for Pettersson

[Snipes45]

If you honestly think Tyson Barrie is even in the same conversation as Quinn Hughes then there's serious questions about your ability to judge players.

That's not evening considering your "Hughes brothers are busts" assessment.

They seriously need to look at the water quality in Edmonton.

So Bob Nicholson is not the only one who is questioning the water in Edmonton lol

What does “as for this past season” mean to you? Does that mean in the future? Ad infinitum? My post was clear lol.

Looks like they aren't close at all

Kampen mot klockan: ”Har svårt att hitta det”

JP Barry interview in a Swedish Paper today.

"I can't say we're getting any closer. Right now we're waiting for their reaction to a suggestion we've made. We're talking to each other, but the opinions on what the contract should look like differ."

"Money and term goes hand in hand and right now we can't seem to agree on either one of them."

"He (Elias) is cool. Of course he's continuously getting information on what's happening and right now he's just preparing as good as he can for the season."

at least they are talking and there is back and fourth

One post. You made several comparisons to their playstyles and effectiveness earlier that was not in reference to last season while also ignoring the fact they're at completely different development stages. I understand you're trolling for reactions but you need to maintain some consistency or it falls flat like right now.

I'm more interested why you're judging two players at different development stages but also confining that judgment to a single season. What do you expect to glean from that exercise? Shouldn't we review Tyson Barrie at Hughes's age and earlier? Barrie did not possess the offensive or defensive ability Hughes did - he wasn't even a regular NHLer. Barrie managed to polish his game but it's outside the realm of possibility that Hughes will ever get better, according to you.

And again, this isn't even touching your "Hughes brothers are busts" gem.

No thanks

You guys take facts as “trolling”. That’s not my issue, most of what I said is not unreasonable for how Hughes played this past season. It’s not my fault you’re conflating what I said and making it to be about his career as a whole lol.

Hughes 3 x 6M (Same as Dahlin)
Pettersson 2 x 7M

 

[WpgSteve]

Canucks should play hardball with these guys. Sign what we put in front of you or play in Europe! It's not like they're going to win anyway. May as well save some cash and get good draft picks.

 

[RangerBoy]

Hughes 3 x 6M (Same as Dahlin)
Pettersson 2 x 7M

Chris Johnston has Hughes at 3 years/$6M-$7M and Pettersson at 5 years/$8.5M. Hughes is a group II at the end of the contract. The Pettersson contract buys one season of group III free agency. Chris Johnston podcast.

F* no to the EP one. Either a 2-3 year deal or a 7-8 one, no in between.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

The Hughes trio as a whole looks to be complete busts/disasters

Oof. Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me.

The EP one is straight-up terrible. So 4 RFA years at 8 and 1 UFA year at 10.5 (AAV is 8.5 x 5). He doesn't deserve 1M more than Brazal nor has he proved that he deserves 10.5 as a UFA.

 

[Guttersniped]

The Hughes trio as a whole looks to be complete busts/disasters with Quinn being able to right his career and stats with a stable d partner. As for this past season, Barrie was better both offensively and defensively, there’s no ifs ands or buts to that. It’s funny watching people get emotional over players they’ve clearly haven’t seen play that much lol.

Particularly Luke, he’s done literally nothing in NHL.

… that’s not even why it’s terrible, but it’s terrible.
I don’t see Vancouver liking the term or EP liking AAV for that much term.

I don’t quite understand why Petterson’s Calder season or much better 2019-20 has been memory-holed because he was injured on that tire fire. He does need to get his ass into camp but that RFA negotiations for ya I guess.

I think EP would end up signing a 3-year deal at $7.75m AAV.

He’s not even subtle with the trolling. September 2021 join date and has been littering every Canucks thread with “hot takes” since.

At least you guys recognize this and don’t paint all Oiler fans with the same brush! ...right?

Good idea, should make them want to stay and play well

Generalizing a whole fanbase is childish indeed. I do wish @Oilers In Tree got a hobby or a job, though.

Yup traded 1st round picks in back to back seasons and got out from 12m in cap for this year in order to save money and get some draft picks

 

[Three On Zero]

Hughes and Pettersson signings will be announced in the first intermission, they will be seen rushing down the stadium stands for the start of the 2nd period in some WWE dramatic fashion

Or not.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I'd rather offer long-term to Petey over Hughes. Hughes defensive side of the game isn't the best and his sophomore could've been better to say the least.

Pettersson is more likely to reach his ceiling IMO.

Barzal over elc
ppg: 0.88
gpg: 0.25

Pettersson over elc
ppg: 0.93
gpg: 0.4
