Friedman reveals door is closing for Elias Pettersson in Vancouver
End of the Road?
Elias Pettersson is one of the faces of the Vancouver Canucks, though recent comments has made his future with the team seem murky. Based on more recent remarks by insider Elliotte Friedman, it could look even more unlikely Pettersson stays in Vancouver long-term.
During an interview with Pettersson where Friedman travelled to Sweden to meet with him, Pettersson had this to say about signing his next contract when he becomes a restricted free agent after this coming season:
A Season of Uncertainty Ahead
This type of quote is definitely enough to get Canucks fans feeling anxious, though comments Friedman made on today's episode of his 32 Thoughts podcast seemingly aim to reassure the fanbase.
There will be a season of uncertainty to come surrounding Pettersson's future in Vancouver, and what his next deal might look like if he stays. One thing's for certain, though: if the Canucks plan on competing again in the next few years, locking Pettersson up is the first order of business. His cap hit for the upcoming season is $7.35 million.
