Jim Biringer: “Before we get you out of here I just wanted to ask you about the two Swedes, Elias Petterson and William Nylander and their contracts.”
Dave Pagnotta on the Full Press NHL Podcast: “Nothing going on in Vancouver still I reported this a few weeks ago and Vancouver fans lost their minds on me until Jim Rutherford said the exact same thing a couple of weeks later. So they have an open line of communication but they are not negotiating a contract.
There is a differentiator between the two. There was no negotiations happening, which is what I reported and everyone’s like, well, that’s BS. They’re talking every day. That’s great. I could talk to a girl every day it doesn’t mean we’re dating. Like it’s semantics, I guess. But there’s really nothing going on negotiation-wise on a contract. That sounds like that’s going to wait till the offseason.”

Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province: Kuzma spoke with former Vancouver Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau, who knows works with the Hershey Cubs, about Elias Pettersson and what value he brings to the team.
