#BringGuentherHomeConsidering they don't have any defencemen signed and only Durzi and Moser would qualify as top-4 guys, it's an obvious need for them.

Hmm I could actually see that being a fit. Going to be an exciting offseason! But not yet!Apparently Utah Usurpers want a Top 4 dman.
Trade them Hronek.
Too bad our offseason doesn’t start until JuneHmm I could actually see that being a fit. Going to be an exciting offseason! But not yet!
I’m curious if Zadorov can handle playing with Hughes lolCrazy stat, Zadorov has outscored Hronek since basically the all-star break, who plays with Hughes.
*heart eye emoji*
I'd say he can f*** off. He had every player on his line at some point and sucked with them all.i wouldnt be surprised by the time playoffs end, the team has their exit meetings and petterson demands gm alvin to go find him some "reasonable linemates" not mikeyev/lafferty types
Yup. The lotto line has gotten quite a few shifts this series, mainly with offensive zone deployment, and Pettersson looked bad despite having previous chemistry with them earlier this season. If he cannot produce with a 40 goal scorer and 100 point player, both of whom he is familiar playing with, then the issue producing is on him.I'd say he can f*** off.

I doubt that Pettersson will issue anything like a demand or an ultimatum. He's not in a position to do so and he and his agent are unlikely to be stupid enough to make such a move.I do think that Pete should get some consistent decent line buddies who can help him more.
But at the same time, bringing it up in a conversation with the GM would be an incredibly diva move. Unless if you're Crosby or McDavid with a long track record of outstanding performance, doing so will only make you look like a narcissistic jackass.
He is getting paid with his new contract to be a leader and able to produce on his own. He shouldn't need guys to cater to him. He should make his linemates better. So far he has been an anchor to everyone around him. Even Mikheyev looks better away from him...I do think that Pete should get some consistent decent line buddies who can help him more.

This actually is not true they were actually quite good together they outscored the opposition 5-1 in 45 mins together and had a 76% xG. I believe they were broken up because that is when Joshua got back into the lineup and they wanted reunite Garland and Joshua.He is getting paid with his new contract to be a leader and able to produce on his own.

Miller gets the most out of Pius Suter and Brock Boeser.
Boeser was moved to Pettersson's line for awhile not long ago and they sucked together.
Common denominator is #40. The guy had frickin Garland and Hoglander for awhile... two of our most consistent forwards all year... and sucked with them too.
Hm. Didn't know that. Well Garland is the play driver on all his lines though regardless.This actually is not true they were actually quite good together they outscored the opposition 5-1 in 45 mins together and had a 76% xG.

You'd give up Willander, EP2, and Lekkerimaki? That's a hefty price to pay. Or do you mean, tradeable as in 'pieces the Canucks would realistically be willing to give up'?if la decides to blow things up to re-tool around byfield, and kempe somehow becomes available, i'd easily give up 3-4 of our best tradeable assets to get him.
insane hot take, but swap kempe with draisaitl (ie. next to mcdavid on the powerplay), and i'm not unconvinced that he isn't a 50 goal, 120 point player. less extreme, but take him off of la and on to an offensively capable team and i think he's a 90+ point player.
90+ I could see. 120 not so much.if la decides to blow things up to re-tool around byfield, and kempe somehow becomes available, i'd easily give up 3-4 of our best tradeable assets to get him.

Yeah, plus there's no way they'd trade him in the division when the Canucks are a threat and LA wants to make the playoffs. Toronto should make a play for him after Tavares leaves.90+ I could see. 120 not so much.
Kempe would be an excellent addition especially on the contract he's on.
LA would be nuts to trade him but if they did, it would cost a ton and I have to imagine other teams could beat a Nucks offer.
