Read that I'm like, what the. I live in mostly Canucks land here, didn't think he signed it 4 or 5 years ago. Had to look it up. This be year 1! https://puckpedia.com/player/elias-pettersson#:~:text=Elias% 20Pettersson%20is%20signed%20to,will%20be%2033%20years%20old . Elias Pettersson is signed to a 8 year, $92,800,000 contract with a cap hit of $11,600,000 per season, currently playing for the Vancouver Canucks. His contract was signed on March 2, 2024, and expires at the end of the 2031-32 season, when Pettersson will be 33 years old. Oh man SO sorry.. I was sure it was longer too but I looked at Puckpedia and saw this.. didn't read the fine print ... it was until 2032! Hilarious!

Wow, TJ Pilsner until 2030 too, and he will be declining the whole way there now. GM in tough to get any value back moving one or both of these guys.
