holy shit!!!!

8 years would be the most massive W we've had in the last decade easily. Don't care if it comes in as the highest number in the league if it is for 8 years.

 

[wonton15]

Are we going to see a flat $100M? 8 x 12.5

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I think he will play a lot better once this is signed.

 

[JT Milker]

So it was management that leaked all the rumours right

 

[LordBacon]

Hoping for a lowball deal but not banking on it.

Im guessing 11mil/year x 8 years

 

[Nucker101]

wow did not expect 8 years, I had this feeling he'd align himself with Hughes.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Probably 8 times $12.5 million?
Was expecting a 5 year deal so this is great news if true.

Let’s f***ing go! Petey a Canucks lifer baby

Am I missing something, nothing is done yet. You guys are making me refresh twitter.

 

[Canucks LB]

8 years is a f***ing monumental statement by management and pettersson man!

Shows he loves it here!

 

[Canucks LB]

If its 8 years my guess is 12.5mx8

Seravalli doesn’t make things up and generally is well connected when he reports things like this. Still remember when he completely spoiled the expansion draft (Vegas/Seattle) on Twitter before the picks were officially made, lol. Does the same with the Entry Draft as well.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Some of those takes in the EP thread won't age well lol.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Life moves pretty fast.

Also:

f*** YES!!! Get ‘er done, Swedish Chef!

 

[PG Canuck]

He couldn’t handle the media anymore. Best to end it and go win a Cup with no distractions, don’t ya think?

Can’t wait for the terms

 

[VanillaCoke]

Hopefully under ninety six millions, but he's young and productive and probably another gear or two left to unlock.

Yeah but he's not infallible.

I hold frank in the same regard as Eliotte but I still think some of these posts are premature.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I literally thought why are you screwing with us.

 

[timw33]

Will be great to not have to talk about this for the next decade.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Extend Hughes and then Miller for 1 more year

 

[Bleach Clean]

Unbelievable.

The media and fans are all over this and now we get this news, wow.

It never made sense for him to continue to hold out to the offseason. Now get pen to paper.

 

[Tables of Stats]

This is huge if true. Not only does it remove a distraction from the current team, it allows a clearly path forward to building next years roster as well.

Will be great to not have to talk about this for the next decade.

Rumors swirling its a sign and trade
