Is it though if doing that gives Pettersson complete control of where he goes (like Miller did) by his NTC kicking in?

It’s a tough position for sure. I just can’t see any teams giving any real value worth making the trade after the season he just had right after a horrible postseason
Kinda where Boston sits with Elias Lindholm. The contract and production make it difficult because you want equal value based on what the team paid the guy, but it just won’t happen. Best we can hope for is that they kinda sorta return to form
Hence the dilemma. It really is a tight spot to be in given what they ended up for Miller.
That instagram page is considered a legit source? Lol.The one prior to him signing the extension.

Second post. This was leaked around this weekend after Tocchett decided to leave the team. Figured it had it's own thread.
I was getting it and other versions of it from STH's that had it circulating around their social groups.
Good point. Difference is that Pettersson is taking up 11.6 and his NTC kicks-in in 53 days. They still have time to move on from this contract where the Bruins are going to hope that Lindholm adds 20 points to his game next year.
Never once said it was a legit source but everything about this team this year and last has been chaos and this certainly fills that narrative of what has been going on.
Close, Morrow was asked for never included.
Thank you so much for this clarification. Helps in establishing the middle ground between what he was worth to Carolina 18 months ago and what he is worth now as a current player.
Well I mean you’re the one that said that the Canucks moved out Miller and Tocchet in order to make Pettersson happy. I simply asked you to back that narrative up.
I don’t expect him to return to a top 5 player in the NHL(was he ever really?), but if the Canucks are to have any success, him returning to a PPG pace with strong defensive play is a must.
Value-wise it’s solid, just not something Vancouver could realistically do unless they have another deal lined up for a #1 center.
I really think that year before he signed he was in the top five conversation and is paid as the current #5.
Pure example. Canucks trade Pettersson to Bruins for the package I listed, then add Zacha to the lineup, draft the Leafs 1st next year and trade the 7th overall (if it was Hagens for example who dropped) to the Islanders for Barzal.
Yea if they had something along that lined up then I would be a lot more receptive of the idea.
I can't remember the last big trade they made where they didn't have the next domino lined up.
Trading zacha and midlestat is selling tge farm for the Bruins? Wow they probably should just rebuild from scratch
It's definitely a factor. I just can't see Vancouver taking less than top tier value. They probably want 100p player value return, but given the salary and his most recent season, I don't think they'd get anything remotely close to it.
The offer is one of them in the trade for Pettersson, the 7th overall and the Leafs 1st in 2026. Vancouver chooses one of the two to replace Pettersson, draft the future C who is 1-2 years away and then draft or trade the Leafs 2026 1st for more help now while getting out of the 11.6 contract.
If i was Vancouver, i would trade him for the 1st round pick and Zacha and start over rebuilding the center depth. I think Canucks and Bruins 1st round picks could be packaged with chytil to get a top center and winger. Then just get another center via FA like Bennett.
