Pettersson's Slump: Canucks' Big Contract Questioned

Elias Petterssons Contract: A Heavy Burden for the Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks decision to sign center Elias Pettersson to an eight-year, $92.8 million extension is now a questioned move.

With management shifting to a rebuild, Petterssons deal will cast a long shadow over the teams uncertain future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
