Wake With Elias: Could Quinn Hughes sign a deal north of $8 million per season?

Both Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson are set to become rich men.

That isn’t a secret. What we don’t know, is how rich they’ll be, and how long will they commit to the Vancouver Canucks as RFA’s?

For a while now, many have predicted that Pettersson’s contract will likely come in around $8 million per season, while Hughes will likely be in the $6.5-$7 million range on an annual basis.

However, many of those predictions were made during the summertime. The landscape has changed now that two of Hughes’s closest comparables, Miro Heiskanen and Cale Makar, signed long-term deals north of $8 million.
