CONTRACT TALKS PICKING UP?
Allvin had an interview with the Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli and revealed that the Canucks were still very much trying to get him under contract and that the talks hadn't ceased:
On pace for back-to-back 100 points season, as one of the best two-way player in the game. There a no comparison to what Pettersson may ask on his next deal, especially with the Salary Cap coming up this summer.
ABOUT TO SIGN A CONTRACT WORTH AN HISTORICAL AMOUNT?
Auston Matthews, one of the best goal scorers in the current era, just inked a 5-year, history-high $13.5M AAV deal.
Pettersson has definitely grown and analysts at the NHL Network even placed the Swede as worthy of one of the league's highest contract among the likes of Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon or Artemi Panarin.
Allvin and the Canucks will definitely have to get their wallet out to lock him up for a long period of time.
