Pettersson asking for a massive pay day seems like a foregone conclusion at this point but also one that could cripple the Canucks franchise in a couple of years time as they don't have Grade A prospects coming up on cheap entry level contracts and the biggest reason for their success has been their depth performances with their third line in particular. If they are paying Pettersson 12 million plus as well as near 6 for the ghost of OEL. That is a hefty amount that comes out of the depth of the team.
