Around the NHL - 2024-25 season.

Yeah the Flames and Canucks deal all the time but with a guy like Petey if he goes back to an elite level of play it would look absolutely awful on the Canucks org if he was torching them 6-7 times a year

I’m not sure why but I also have a feeling he’d be a pretty good match with Huberdeau stylistically who is staying no matter what so that’s a plus.

Though I have absolutely nothing to base that on except my personal vibes meter

IMO Petey is morelike Huberdeau than the guys Huberdeau needs to play with. It's no coincidence that Huberdeau always seems to be at his best when playing with guys who have more grit and a bit of an edge to their game.

Petey seems to have the same awkwardness that Lindholm has, don’t trust the guy, and wouldn’t trade for him since he’s like 160 pounds, he’s going out of the division if he goes

I think Pettersson and Huberdeau would probably be really good together, along with adding a RW as a shot/retrieval guy, whether that’s Sharangovich, Pospisil or Pelletier.

Not that Pettersson is in the same stratosphere as Barkov, but he’d be the flat out most talented guy this org would have meshed with Huberdeau since he’s joined here.

Yeah I didn’t want to draw a direct comparison to Barkov but Pettersson is good defensively and can rip it. Barkov isn’t particularly nasty or grindy and he still meshed incredibly well with Huberdeau so that’s kind of where my head was at

Huberdeau didn't really play with Barkov though, Bennett and Duclair were his most common linemates in his final year in FLA, followed by Bennett and Tippett. The year before it was Hornqvist and Wennberg. You have to go back to 2019-20 for teh last time Barkov and Huberdeau were regular linemates at ES.

I’m not a stat junkie, but the year the Panthers won the President’s Trophy (‘21/‘22), I’d be curious to know how many of Huberdeau’s points involved Barkov on PP1, OT or other late game situations in which Florida threw them out together. I saw a game in Sunrise where they beat the Leafs 7-6 in OT, and these two were dynamite together.

Much like the Oilers do with McDrai, I think they abandoned line combos when they needed a goal.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you.
I think having those computer-on-ice guys in the mold of Barkov makes life so much easier.

When you look at Huberdeau's last two years in Florida, at all strengths, Barkov was his most common linemate and together accounted for about 50% of Jonathan's total production.

Calgary really only has Zary that's a hold-the-puck type guy; Petey would be a coup in terms of on-ice linematers.

My post.
84 points of his total 176 points were with Barkov on the ice.
On the president's trophy team, 61 of the total 115 points came with Barkov.

There's a reason that come PP1, or down a goal, those two are together.

 

[crackdown44]

Yeah I hadn’t realized he spent about 600 minutes with Bennett at 5v5 vs only 200 with Barkov in his big season. Seems as though he was excellent with both and a good chunk of his production did come on the PP or in other situations including Barkov

I think as long as the third guy on that island could forecheck well and go to the dirty areas that it would mesh well

I played enough NHL 2004 to know that a playmaker a sniper and a grinder gives you a line bonus

It’s probably a moot discussion anyway as I imagine Vancouver would need a center back in the deal

I think Naz still has this season then a couple good years left in him before that contract gets ugly. Unless Vancouver really sees their window as being in the next 2-3 years while Hughes and Demko are on their sweetheart deals I can’t imagine they’d have a whole lot of interest in something around Kadri/Andersson

Have to think another team offers a younger C with some upside, though the Eichel return was quite underwhelming

Also gotta wonder if Flames ownership would be keen on paying him 22mil in signing bonuses over the next two years, 42mil total in signing bonuses over the course of the contract

I agree in terms of it being a moot point as well.
The cost for us to get him would be absurd, and I think it's one of those 'I don't you want to pay that' type trades.

Like, if all it cost was the two firsts we have this year and one of our young NHL guys, sure... but I have to think Vancouver will want the sun and the stars from Calgary.

 

[Mobiandi]

It’s so funny how EP40 threatened to leave for many years and now the Canucks front office is desperate to get him out. Every time Vancouver is on the precipice of contending, they find a reason to get in their own way

 

[joescores]

How much do you all think would be Pettersson's tag?

I don't think we have anything Vancouver wants. Especially since if we trade for Pettersson, we're trying to compete NOW. Which means we need to keep Kadri and Andersson. (Kadri is still a roughly 65-70 point second line center with grit and skill, while, our D without Andersson means that our D depth is really gonna hurt, and likely results in everything other than the likely Weegar/Bahl pairing getting caved in. At least with Andersson and Weegar on different pairings we can at least force some matchups).

Oilers fans playing the victim when McDavid cross checks a guy in the face is pretty priceless.

“McDavid was manhandled for twenty seconds before by Garland. He deserved to be assaulted with a weapon.”

The reality:

They are saying he should boycott the Four Nations in protest because of the unfair treatment he faces. the day after he gets nothing for a dirty elbow that caused an injury
