On the Donnie and Dhali show, the hosts Don Taylor and Rick Dhaliwal discuss who Elias Pettersson's next contract should be.

Rick Dhaliwal says, "...I was told that Pastrnak is a comparable the Canucks are using."

David Pastrnak is an interesting comparison. Pastrnak came off a monster 61-goal and 113-point year, which netted him an 8-year, 90 million dollar deal with a cap hit at 11.25 million dollars in the last off-season.

Pettersson scored 39 goals and 102 points last season. While both players play differently, as Pastrnak is a pure sniper, while Pettersson is a two-way player with tremendous playmaking ability, they are similar in value, making the comparison possible.

Dhaliwal continues, "...Keep an eye on Artemi Panarin at 10.6..."

It looks as though the Canucks are looking to sign Pettersson to a long-term deal. It will be interesting to see how the Canucks handle the salary and if they use any contracts, such as Pastrnak and Panarin, as a possible guide.
