Thread: Matty
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Matty2005</b></div><div>His contract is up next year and he’s definitely asking for 9 at least and you already had to give up you’re captain because of the cap and the Canucks are rebuilding so how are you going to pay him and even if you do pay him then how the hell are you going to pay Quinn huges and with that price tag on petterson he might just walk for nothing so ether you lose one of you’re best scorers for nothing, you get robbed in a trade for him because you have no leverage, or you pay him and lose your best defender for nothing or not what he’s valued at.</div></div>

Lol Pettersson at 9 million would be a steal. Say the Canucks sign him for 9.5. That is only a 2 million dollar raise. Making 2 mil in room is not hard to do in order to fit Pettersson in. Comparing Horvat to Pettersson just goes to show the lack of knowledge you have on the sport. Horvat is 28 and a pending UFA. Pettersson is 24 and a pending RFA. Canucks didn’t want to sign Horvat because he was too old, and not worth the money. As for Quinn Hughes, his contract doesn’t expire for 5 seasons. You know what else expires in 5 seasons? OEL and his 7 million dollar cap hit. Between now and 2027, lots of things can happen. Signing Pettersson will absolutely not prevent the Canucks from signing Hughes. Let’s also not forget that Tyler Myers also expires at the same time that Pettersson does. The money is no problem lol. Poor argument by you

Thread: Is there a way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BenningTruther</b></div><div>Ya more than likely. hard to move a 6.6mil guy in a flat cap world. Also since his agent was given permission to talk to other teams, boesers play has really picked up. I dont think managment is at the point they were a few months ago when there were reports they would take below market value just to shed the cap. Now that Bo is gone the same need to clear cap isnt there and thats why i think a boeser trade is unlikely until at least the draft. Allvin also said he doesnt want to give up on brock because of his age and scoring pedegree</div></div>

Appreciate the insight - as a Wild fan, and not spending a ton of time reading both sides of trades, all I have been reading is how Hankinson has been working closely with Guerin trying to figure it out, which to me seems as though the asking price would just be increased? But maybe I am taking that out of context. Also - have no idea what "working closely to try and figure something out" means, like is he reaching out to other teams on behalf of the Wild too in order to facilitate a trade for someone like Greenway? Idk, the whole thing is just something I've never seen before.
