Team's looking good and that's what he wanted before he extended, so hopefully for Vancouver they get to keep him for another 7-8 years

 

[Qwijibo]

I'm bit surprised he's not waiting fir the big cap increase to up his number

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Don't do it EP!

 

[Canucks LB]

What’s his contract going to look like?

4 years at 10.5?
8 years at 12?


Or the middle!

6 years at 11.25! Haha

 

[EXTRAS]

Canucks should wait a bit til his numbers fall off

 

[MOGlLNY]

Happy for our expansion bros, they deserve nice things. Our class is cursed.

Otherwise known as "negotiating in bad faith' that's how you lose great players.

Canucks should sign ASAP. He looks off even though he leads the league in scoring (pretty sure he's injured)

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

8 years x 12 millions would be very fair.

Anything less is a win for Vancouver.

Well him going for 12m per when he's been pretty underwhelming for most of this contract based mostly on this hot start would be pretty bad faith too.

 

[super6646]

I’d expect an 11-12m AAV, and he’s worth it

 

[notsocommonsense]

He had 102 pts (39 goals) in 80 games last year, while being very good in his own end of the rink, so his ask won’t be based purely on this small sample size you’re suggesting

 

[God]

Shame we can't trade him for Suzuki and scraps

 

[Superlative Soup]

Habs will just sign him for free in 9 years!

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Should be around 8x$15M if Pettersson's agent is any good.

 

[Bobby9]

8x9M if he really wants to win

 

[Waterbuf]

5 x 12 imo

 

[LemonSauceD]

Definitely not lol

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Good news for Vancouver

i think he gets 8x11M

 

[Qwijibo]

8x9M if he really wants to win

You're dreaming if you think he should or would sign for that

 

[Drew Doubty]

I think Petey goes for something like the Matthews contract. He's a smart kid who understands the big picture, which is basically: With Hughes up in 4 and Demko up in 3, this Canucks window (if it even has one) is likely the next 4 years. He's also extremely motivated by winning. A mid-term deal would keep the AAV down while freeing up Petey to leave if things go south. Something like a 4 year deal with an 10.5 mil AAV would make him 29 when it expires, plenty of time to go cup hunting. Also it would allow him to sign one more mega deal and give the Canucks an extra 1-2 mil cap space over what he'd be looking for on a max term deal.

Very risk for Petey since he could get injured, but he loves to bet on himself. He did it when he signed the bridge and he did it by going into this offseason with no extension.

I think that you have some wishful thinking.

If I am wrong I am wrong but I think he is getting much more.

Matthews is making just shy of 16% of the cap. If Pettersson's agent is smart he pushes for roughly the same percentage but based on next years assumed cap. 16% of $87.5m puts him around $14m

Another is based on the term. Matthews wanted more for 8 years signed.

Does that % go up for EP if they want term?
