Is this a Canucks front office burner account lol? 5 yr 10 mil is such and eff you from whoever (looking at Bergevin) puts forward the OS

That's likely what a Pettersson offer sheet would look like. But it's not my guess, the figure comes from James Mirtle and Dom Luszczyszyn of the Athletic.

For sure, you can see why. Walks Petey straight to free agency while putting us in a real tough spot and probably forcing us to move Schmidt for nothing or even less than nothing

If only Benning had a gram of foresight, we might have Petey signed already but he is busy buying out the contracts he signed last year.

I'm actually not bothered about either of those signings. He actually made those signings with buyouts in mind such that they are low risk bets. It's all the other garbage he accumulated earlier that is coming back to haunt. Aquaman's insatiable desire for perpetual playoff mediocrity took the form of Eriksson, Beagle and Roussel, and now takes the form of OEL, Myers and Nate Schmidt. At least if the offer sheet comes in we pick up a boatload of draft picks for the new GM to work with
