Sujet: Vancouver Canucks signed Elias Pettersson (8 Years / $11,600,000 AAV)

A very good signing; I still don't understand why Canucks management felt the need to play urgent hardball here, though.</div></div>

Pettersson's position was to postpone any contract talks until next summer. Allvin was fine with it until he realized they are contenders now.

The team needs to know right away what will be their cap situation next year to add players with term at the next TDL. Thus the bullying:

1) They acquired Lindholm, who shows the will of the team to go all in, please pettey as a fellow swedish teammate and act as a replacement threat if a plan B is needed, plus ;
2) leaked rumors of a trade to Carolina to force him back to the negociation table.

And it worked since he's now resigned, for max term, under $12M and it's not summer yet.
