"It's not just on the ice, it's off the ice" that made the Vancouver Canucks want Marcus Pettersson on their squad for a long time following the team's drama this season.

It took the Vancouver Canucks most of the season to finally trade for Marcus Pettersson. It took them less than a week after that, however, to extend him.

Marcus Pettersson inked a six-year, $33 million contract on Wednesday evening and met with the media on Thursday afternoon to answer questions about his new deal. Pettersson began by discussing his expectations for the Vancouver Canucks in the future.
