<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Its not that he is not worth it, he is, its the cap problem it puts us in. Its a great marketing coup and would make Jack happy! Nemec is cheap and on a ELC ($918, 333) QH is at $7,850,000 for 4 more. Thats $6.93 M added to cap if we did nothing else. Mercers salary should back out of that (say $3.5-4 x 4)
$3M more to have the 3 H boys hurts the team IMO. I think the Devs have what they need in Luke and Nemec both who will be cheap in the near term to set us up well for competing long into the playoffs shortly. Getting Quinn is getting what Luke and Nemec might be. We need a couple of stout young defenders for long playoff runs. Its a nice idea but winning is better than marketing.</div></div>

Completely agree with you and I wouldn't do it as the Devils (or the Canucks for that matter).
Quinn is already the best defenseman in Canucks history and is likely a 1000 point player.
But rest assured there are many people in the hockey world who absolutely would do this, you'd just have to hope Fitzgerald isn't one of them.

Thread: What if Jack wants to be a Canuck
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>
I think Pettersson is an 85 point guy, while I see hughes as a 100+ guy.</div></div>

You make some valid points, but this one is entirely baseless. They're both 100+ guys.

Petey has been in the top 3 players for hitting the post/crossbar for the past 3 seasons.
Kuzmenko is the first consistent line mate Pettersson has had in his Canucks career, shooting at a reasonable percentage. In fact he centered 28 different even strength lines last season alone.
Almost unheard of for an elite player.

His 5 most common line mates last season were:

1. Andrei Kuzmenko
2. Anthony Beauvillier (First played in Feb 2023)
3. Ilya Mikheyev (Last played Jan 2023)
4. Brock Boeser
5. Lane Pederson (Lost to waivers Jan 2023)

To score over 100 points in an awful Canucks team, with those line mates, while also being by far the team's best penalty killer, is borderline incredible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Jack is better now, 3 years younger, and cheaper long term. over the course of the next 7 years, jack likely produces 1 mill a year (as a very low estimate) more value than pettersson, at a cost thats probably 3 mill a year cheaper. That's 28 mill in surplus value over the term of the contract. At least worth multiple 1sts.</div></div>

Agree largely with this, however Jack absolutely is not better now.
Petey had more points than him last season on a MUCH worse team, whilst being by far the better defensive player.
Petey's arguably one of the best defensive centers in the league, so much so that he was in the Selke conversation. The only people who disagree are those who haven't watched him play.
