Frank Seravalli dropped à bombshell today regarding Pettey extension talks and revealed that the only way the Canucks could get him to ink an 8-year-deal, was if they made an offer that started with a $12.5M cap hit, at the very least.
Over the span of 8 years, it sums up to $100M. Not only would it be the biggest deal in Franchise History, but one of the biggest ever signed in the League:
''Frank Seravalli says if Petey is going 8 years he can't see it being lower than 12.5M AAV 👀''
