elias petterson over 100 million
Simple: Petterson is better and he's worth whatever they pay him. Nylander however… 11.5 for never even breaking 90 points is insane.
It probably means Petterson will sign a reasonable deal because Toronto is the only team that doesnt know how to negotiate
40 goals get you 11m now if you are still in your 20's. Cap is going up…is what it is.
If the Canucks pay Petterson anything near what the idiot leafs paid Nylander, then they deserve the same stupid fate as the leafs as in never getting close to the cup finals .
The problem now is however ridiculous you think the Nylander deal is, it now resets the market. All new contracts will be based on that. If the Leafs overpaid Nylander, that’s tough luck for the Canucks because they’re going to have to negotiate with Pettersson based on that 11.5 number and I think Pettersson comes out looking favourably in that comparison. His agent isn’t going to accept that Nylander is overpaid. He’s going to say that’s the new market value and the problem is that he’d be right. Once one GM signs a stupid contract, it has a ripple effect. Suddenly, by market standards, it’s not an overpayment. The real problem is the salary cap itself. It’s protecting teams that don’t generate enough revenue to fund an NHL team in 2023. Also, the cap hasn’t curbed individual salaries at all. The top 10% still get huge salaries, and that squeezes out mid level players or forces them to accept far less than they’re worth because there’s no cap space left. The cap was meant to slow the rise in salaries, but all it did was create an artificial wealth gap that is out of control and middle 6 forwards who used to get good money by nhl standards now either accept less or they end up on PTOs.
My prediction? Pete will wait until the 11th hour like he did last contract when he waited until midway through training camp, and he will match McDavid's term from 2019 and become the third player since the new CBA (and 7th all-time) to accept a $100M+ contract. That would basically be 8 years at $12.5M AAV.
How much tax money disappears in that communist hellhole? 45M? 50M? LOL.
I want my Canucks to sign Petey at 9.5m.
The leafs organization is done. Finished
Not really i dont think he hits 8.5
11×8 would be soooo nice
