“Canucks are working away at the Pettersson and Hughes deals really hard. I’m not hearing anything negative associated with the talks. Not hearing anything.

Most scouts I’ve talked to feel Pettersson should come in, if it’s a three-year deal, somewhere over seven.

….

Hughes should come in over $6 million on a four, five year deal, and that is what most agents when I talked to them, and I say: “what could Pettersson and Hughes get?

If you’re looking at three years for Pettersson you’re looking at over $7 (million). Matt Barzal would be the comparable for me and I love Matt Barzal. There’s not a bigger Matt Barzal fan than myself. He’s one of the top three skaters in the National Hockey League. Over seven for sure.

And then when I said Hughes over six, flipped out on his us didn’t he Ryan, he flipped out on us. Charlie McAvoy, Werenski are comparables for Quinn Hughes.”
