canucks match and ottawa rejects

Matched

he literally doesn’t wanna stay

odd because there hasn't been a report about that. Pettersson said at the beginning in the year he will not talk contract until the offseason. that's what he is doing. if won't sign in Vancouver he certainly doesn't sign with the Islanders he wants to play for winning team not for a team that is 21st in the league and on the decline.

according to who? and also, even if that wasn’t true, he’s on a long contract. they’re wouldn’t just give him away to the Islanders for fun. and also, according to who?

A) 0 evidence for that. None

B) That's not how offer sheets work? He can't just sign and say "You can't match" to Vancouver

He's an RFA so he doesn't have a choice
