Canucks fans rejoicing in a Pettersson world

Happy for all parties involved

 

[trick9]

The only right move.

Happy for the Canucks fans.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

As a Canes fan, congratulations. Hopefully our FO keep swinging their bat and actually hitting on one.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Never really saw it going any other way

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Good for the Canucks. Hope it’s a fair deal for both sides.

 

[Forge]

Congrats, Vancouver fans!

 

[Play]

As a Canes fan, congratulations. Hopefully our FO can pull out someone like that someday.

You already have Aho, who is a great Center in his own right

 

[Drumman44]

What a week it has been. Congratulations Vancouver fans.

Going to guess 12.5 x 8

 

[Baby Pettersson]

It's happening!

 

[CascadiaPuck]

EP40 be praised, thy will be done.

 

[Three On Zero]

Ooooph, be under 12.5

 

[Mr Bop]

8 x 11.75 mil.

 

[Extra Texture]

Great for the Nucks and great for the player (assuming those rumored numbers are true)

As a Canes fan, congratulations. Hopefully our FO keep swinging their bat and actually hitting on one.

It is virtually impossible to find 90-100 point star players these days. Basically have to develop them because they rarely hit FA anymore or get traded.

 

[LionsHeart]

They couldn’t let him leave.

 

[GKJ]

It was never going to go any other way but I don’t get why the Canucks were in such a rush when he was still RFA.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

8 X 12 is my guess.

 

[andora]

All the Insiders can wake up and read the scoop

 

[Three On Zero]

It was never going to go any other way but I don’t get why the Canucks were in such a rush when he was still RFA.

Media saying he was wanting out, drawing unwanted attention. One of the worst markets to play in and stay under the radar

The Vancouver media market is an absolute zoo and the Pettersson situation was a white hot topic that needed to be solved.

Congratulations, you are now the new @MMC

Nothing like a 7 AM Pacific time newsdrop on a Saturday to confirm your franchise centre is sticking around for the rest of his prime.

I wonder if this is the result of an 'all-nighter'.

 

[Nucker42]

8 x 11.40 my guess

It's not impossible, but you need a disgruntled player with a losing franchise. Vancouver was on the verge of that, but they finally proved that they could win with their core this year.
