Alvin on Pettersson: He needs to mature and understand that there are certain expectations.. need to face the music when things don't go well

Wow. A lot of people have been in denial for many years. Many will remain there. Lundell > EP AINEC.

137 points in 254 games

440 points in 441 games

One of these things isn’t like the other…..

So are the Canucks just one of those "cursed franchises"? I became convinced of that when Demko got hurt on the eve of the playoffs last year.

I have zero issues with this.. and as a life long Canucks fan I'm willing to trade Pettersson.

Feels like the majority of the time he's the most inconsistent star in the league. Soft, always pouting and lacks a motor. Feels like he's always racking up points under the radar and never like some dominant force.

Trade him before others catch on.

In retrospect it should have raised some alarms when Pettersson threatened to not sign unless the team did well. Not a guy you can trust when things get tough.

Add to this that he still was hesitant to sign when the team was absolutely rolling last year.
