Elias Pettersson, the Canucks biggest star will become a restricted free agent next summer, and without much top tier talent around him, it makes sense for Vancouver to want him locked up long-term.
Discussions regarding an extension have reportedly not gone too far, as Pettersson wants to see what this team can do around him, and now, it appears his biggest desire in Vancouver has been revealed.

Team success

According to renowned NHL Insider Elliotte Freidman, Pettersson's biggest desire in order to extend his contract with the team that drafted him is based around one thing; team success.
