I think they had the wiggle room and necessity to be a bit ruthless on this topic. Hronek, Joshua, Blueger, Cole, Myers, Lafferty, Zadorov, Friedman and now Lindholm. They need to know how hard and how many of these guys they have the room to re-sign and for how much. They couldn't even open discussions with them until they had an idea on what Pettersson was looking for.
Again, I don't think the Canucks were pushing for a deal to be signed today (though they're happy to do it), they just wanted to know what he was thinking.

I don't think anyone will ever be as just pure skilled as Bure. He was just on his own level.
