Probably have to keep him off the market for awhile now. I can’t see anyone trading for him right now, and haven’t talked to anyone who who doesn’t think teams are real hesitant about taking on his $11.6 for the next 7 years.

Maybe Buffalo would if the Canucks take another contract teams are hesitant about, with Dylan Cozens??

Who else has a 5-7 year deal (Vancouver would take) that would help those concerns? Maybe Washington with PLD? How’d that feel Vancouver fans? Talk about scared of the contract.

Servalli is right though, as he said to the Calgary guys…. we’ve heard nothing but excuse after excuse from the Canucks and the Pettersson camp since he signed that contract. Right now, he has the worst contract in the league. Who ever thought that would be the case this soon?? Other than maybe JT Miller of course.

If there’s a pre-requisite, and there is, that the Canucks will have to take a similar scary contract in return, there’s not many options. Even Mittlestadt’s deal is only for a couple more years. They’ll have to take someone with term in return, to get a team to bite.

Everything the Canucks touched last year turned to gold. The hockey gods are repaying them this year. Wait until Boeser walks for free and Demko gets traded for peanuts at the draft, just to be a Vezina finalist next season.

I’m not sure the Hockey Gods are done messin with the Canucks yet.
