Canucks News
- Star Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov signed an 8-year contract at $7.75 million per year, and Canucks Twitter was buzzing with EP comparisons. Thomas Drance with some context:
"Does the Svechnikov steal of a contract impact the #Canucks' leverage with Elias Pettersson?"
— Thomas Drance (@ThomasDrance) August 26, 2021
Svechnikov has played 50 more games in his career than Pettersson, and has fewer goals and assists. Career points per game:
Svechnikov: .68.
Pettersson: .93.
What do you think?
- Matt Sekeres had similar thoughts on the situation:
While understandable to look at this as a Pettersson comparison, and a favourable sign for a long-term extension with the #Canucks, my understanding is there are enough differences that hopes shouldn’t get too high.
