These guys are good characters for the Canucks organization. Vancouver is lucky to have them.

[@fraseramyott]

Wow our media really starting with some hard balls. 1:40 in they smash Petey with contract talks and then proceed to call out Quinn's defensive game at 2:50. Maybe next time start with some friendlier questions to warm them up jesus.

[@jaimeacosta9062]

fr LOL

[@oskforalltid]

Petey even quietly said "contracts already jeez" or something like that

[@cassidystarchild7907]

They get paid millions to do this

[@Roberticus_Gaming]

and they asked if they are both gonna get Travis Green's annual Bag Skate that they missed at 6:15 LOL our media here in Van is a joke.....

[@vancitycanucks]

This is the future . Love it.

[@wolfgangdurst267]

Pettersson's answer to Jeff Paterson's question about the term is telling Canucks fans everything they need to know.

[@TheTheMonkey93]

Well its pretty akward to talk about contracts when fans are overly aggressive and delusional. And Canucks didnt have enough capspace for both of them. Pettersson believes he can bet himself to get more. I don't blame the guy

[@JOCKElNVICTUS]

He has said he wants to be there multiple times, but he has also said he wants to be on a winning team and if vancover aint it he wants to leave he has said so, and yes he probably believes he can get more money and guess what if he play's the way he can and has he can and will get paid more.

[@evertandersson5800]

The thing is; have you seen THG´s video on the contrtact situation in VAN? In three years a LOT of the big bad contracts run out so he can get paid then.. ;)

they literally look like they don’t even want to participate in this press conference, and feel like being held hostage

[@hchahal9145]

I always find it amusing when athletes call waiting around for their million dollar contracts 'stressful'. Especially when its their agents who are negotiating it. I would be delighted to negotiate a 30 million dollar contract for myself.

[@tyson6539]

It’s stressful because they have people like you criticizing everything they say/do. They wanna be with their team and feel guilty being away. Of course it’s gonna stress you out

[@hchahal9145]

@@tyson6539 I haven't criticized them at all. I am saying perspective matters. When someone says they find negotiating a multi-million dollar contract stressful, it's first world problems to me. I don't think theyre going to get sympathy from a lot of people, especially considering everything that's happening in the world. Listen to the interview "we've been hanging out, surfing a little bit" ..."our agents handle the negotiations". Boo hoo, how stressful. stfu.

[@LeonExile05]

They were probably reading the comments from fans. lol

[@sucraf1]

So why did these contracts take so long to complete? It' seems good for both sides. It's like for Pettersson. Short or long term? Short. How many years? 3. How much $? Around 7, under 8 mil. Ok, done. Why didn't anyone ask what was the holdup for the contracts?

[@koyle3027]

They look “so excited” to be here

[@September2004]

Does anyone know when a team has re-sign two of its star players at the same time? I know Kariya and Selanne once signed with Colorado on the same day but they were new to the team.

[@MikeHonchoSon69]

first question should have been "how do you feed about ruining the next 12 years of your NHL career by being greedy?".... both are massively over paid for being injury prone and the lacking fundaments the players worth the value of those contracts... Again its Vancity so im not shocked by the moronic contracts handed out.

[@Zeet89]

Overpayed based on what, how you feel about it? Basicly no one is saying that these are really bad contracts. And why is it exactly 12 years they are ruining?

[@JustBrowsing777]

12 years? "Massively" overpaid? Lacking the fundaments? What are you smoking? 🤔 Everyone thinks hockey players should act any different than anyone else taking a job. Everyone goes for market value, so do you. You're not going to offer your services to an employer and say I'll do it for cheap so you can hire more people. Vancouver pays them what they feel they are worth and looking around the league it seems about right which most experts seem to agree to.

[@melisagustafsson3414]

Your a troll Pettersson is going to be most points under 8 million this season and getting Quinn for 6 years is a steal two years in.

[@nicholaslouie7590]

Petey should’ve made at least 8 million, so the fact that we got him for less is a W. Hughes on the other hand if he keeps up with Makar in point production, that’s a steal as well imo. Hamilton makes 9 million and Jones makes 9.5 million those are both worse contracts then Hughes and Pettersson imo.

[@MikeHonchoSon69]

@Shelvin Maharaj Nurse is overpaid as well. Its a common pattern Canadian teams have to over pay their RFA's... Youre welcome for the free education.
