So would a knee injury. If he is avoiding putting power through his pivot knee that would definitely account for the very low numbers, which are pretty shocking actually.
I have no idea what's going on with Petey. It's honestly a bit confusing. The worst case of yipes in NHL history? Is he a 26 year old Huberdeau!!!!

If he's injured to this degree. Why is he playing?
Plain and simple. This is beyond stupid.
He was pathetic playing for team Sweden. He could have taken the rest, if he's actually injured.
Don't tell me an injury is not significant enough to warrant resting if a top 10 caliber C plays like a 3/4C on a team that is already mediocre.

Sorry but screw you. He has not been a “cocky little shit. “ since he entered the league, he is an introvert. Do you not understand what that means?
Yes, he has been under performing for a year now. And I am sure that he is extremely frustrated with the situation. I suspect that he would love to be performing at the top of the league. Obviously. He is not but neither you nor anyone on this board Knows the whole story.
Last year pretty much everything went right except during the playoffs.
This year pretty much everything has gone wrong. That’s pretty much the history of the Canucks.

So what is left? Maybe if you guys would actually listen to what people are saying, you wouldn't be so confused. I already explained my reasoning last week in this or that other dumb EP40 thread. Others have already covered it pretty intensively. You'll understand once EP40 isn't on the team anymore and you can start to see him without your fandom goggles.
you mean once we see another team rest him let him recover and he starts being a 100 pt center again and we'll be asking, so why did we not do that and ran him out of town instead?

Perfectly encapsulating the different opinions. You have this rose-tinted outlook that is based on your fandom that you are unable to see beyond. It's understandable, I was the same when I first started watching hockey.
After awhile you'll realize that this is a business and the players you are spending hundreds of posts defending, don't actually give a shit about the club and are happy to move on later in their career.
The players aren't getting tattoos of the Canucks logo. That's all on obsessed fans who can't overcome their emotional baggage.

Rather condescending attitude, there, buddy. A lot of us think it’s not time yet to abandon EP 40. And certainly not when his value is at a minimum. In my emotional baggage is going on 55 years still a fan still hoping and I think it would be stupid to give up on Patterson at this point.
I am toxic
. . . even in small doses
It is better to run 100+ point selke level players out of town than to have a - <gasp> - introvert on the team
Nobody gives a f*** that Petey is an introvert.
If he just played and produced to the level he is expected to based on his AAV nobody would care, in fact everybody would love him just like they did whenever he played and produced well in the past.
I mean yeah no f***ing shit.
The gist of this thread is a bunch of folks believe that the reason he is underperforming is because he is playing injured and a bunch of folks believe he just plain suck for every other reason other then than playing injured.

Too cynical.
A lot of these players build strong friendships through their teammates and the community they play in.
I get a stronger sense of loyalty from hockey players than most sports. There is a strong sense of pride and I'd wager Pettersson cares a TON about the Canucks and how he is perceived throughout his career. We're talking about the guy that had to remove himself from social media.

Very Nice, Very Evil!
Tried to find the post but you have a ton of very emotional EP posts so gave up.
