Barry, on the program to discuss Pettersson&#8217;s extension talks. Barry said that talks will likely start in the summer, but doesn&#8217;t know how long they&#8217;ll take. There were a few examples of different time frames with other Barry clients from past negotiations. The agent said talks could go as quick as they did for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/barzama01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-04-26_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mathew Barzal<\/a> (four months) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/forsbfi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-04-26_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Filip Forsberg<\/a> (a year.)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;I&#39;m pretty sure we are going to talk about a longer term commitment this time..&quot;<\/p>\n<p>J.P.

Vancouver management probably doesn&#8217;t want to risk the chance of Pettersson getting an offer sheet.
