Lebrun had the opportunity to talk with Pettersson's agent J.P. Barry and it appears that he's very confident that not only the Canucks will be having a sit down regarding an extension as soon as this summer, but he's very confident that both parties will be talking long-term deal. Here's what the agent had to say:
The Canucks selected Elias Pettersson with the 5th Overall Selection in 2017, since then he's developed into the franchise's cornerstone. A brilliant two-way centerman who's only scratching the surface of his potential. At only 24 years old, he had an offensive outburst and collected 102 points.
