When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
Curious to see what people are thinking out there. We hear that that there positive talks out there from both sides, but who knows.
I still feel good that they'll be signed very soon, but with training camp opening in a couple of days.....
Will they be announced at the same time?

I said after camp, but not really sure about that. Apparently Pettersson has gone to Minni to be with Hughes, not sure how much I like that. Also him leaving Van is a sign that they are not close. TBH, I think Benning has overall done a very good job this off seasons but he appears close to bungling it all up here with these 2.
Edit:
I think it is clear both will be signed at the same time.

I think one is done, and they are finishing the other. Will announce both at the same time.

So Petey went to Michigan to escort Hughes across the border?Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:58 am I think one is done, and they are finishing the other. Will announce both at the same time.

Apparently he is in Michigan not Minnesota.

It makes you wonder if Benning has not yet offered the last remaining pennies he has to work with. I mean there is only so much money available so unless the two wonder kids are happy having to trade someone or utilize less than full compliment of 23 it makes me think their camp is still trying to squeeze out the last few drops. Or as an alternative to not getting the money they want maybe they are holding out for a deal that walks them to free agency.
As it is now it is looking more and more like they will miss the start of camp. This tactic hasn't gone well for other players who did the same thing, historically, yes there are exceptions.

Re: When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
They fact they have the same agent worries me too, clearly they (or the agent) is making them a group deal. Very unlikely the are at the start of camp, although I can see them signing by the end of camp.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:30 am It makes you wonder if Benning has not yet offered the last remaining pennies he has to work with.

Another thing, this is also a VERY important season for Benning, how much longer can he play chicken with these two? Allowing it to drag into pre season is bad, allowing it to drag into the regular season is a disaster for him IMO.

Why does this have to happen at a time when optimism is just budding ….. because……Canucks

Re: When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
One of the stranger situations I've seen, that's for sure. Arguably the two most phenomenal young players out of the gate in Canucks history and they're allied with goal for a good contract in one's home town. Good that they're practicing. Good they get along so well. Can't help wondering who's brainstorm this was. Whatever, I think it's a good thing. In fact, it might help get it done.

Re: When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
My speculation is Petey is on the verge of signing and getting to work, hence the return to Vancouver and the tweet, but greedy Barry dragged his ass to the Hughes Compound to browbeat him in to holding out to get more (probably for Hughes).
Re: When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
Clearly both sides want to get a fair deal done asap.
Agent Pat Brisson:
We are working on deals for Pettersson and Hughes, we talk every other day, we talked last week and over the weekend.
The goal is to get this done.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I think it may happen a game or two into the regular season. Hoping it happens sooner though.

Re: When do Petey and Quinn get signed? (poll)
I picked after the season starts, with both having the same agent it has made the negotiations harder.

I’m thinking at the 20 game mark of the regular season. Book it!

No way this happens - that would sink our season in a hurry, and cost Jimbo his job. My guess is the end of training camp, and if necessary, he moves out a warm body to make cap room if necessary, If only to save his ass.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:21 am I’m thinking at the 20 game mark of the regular season.
