After being acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Vancouver Canucks wasted no time in getting Marcus Pettersson signed to a long-term extension. After two games with the club, he has signed a six-year extension with the Canucks.
Pettersson, 28, was a second-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2014. He has spent the last seven seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, part of which under the management of Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin.
I am super impressed with Canucks management, we moved quickly, Marcus was impressed with Vancouver, there was no hesitation from him.
