Those two would certainly be huge additions to put them on a path to a long playoff run.Bring back Toffoli and Tanev. Erase the horrible JB offseason.
But I don't think they have the assets to pull them both off at this point.
Petterson's camp has had all the leverage ever since he entered this season without a contract extension.I think most here understand Pettersson can accept his one year qualifying offer and put the Canucks in poor negotiation position as he would then be a UFA at the end of the one year term.
Why would management allow him to erode his value before they would be obliged to trade him at a heavy discount anyway?
The leverage switches to the Pettersson camp after this deadline.
The clock is ticking.
They lead in GF because of the early season shooting benders of their depth guys. People are complaining about Lafferty now, but he wasn't going to shoot 20% forever. Neither is Hoglander. Or Joshua for that matter.Really? We lead the league in GF (5v5) by a fair bit and it isn't like that scoring is only coming from our top guys. I looked a week or so ago and we had the most (9) forwards in the top 100 of 5v5 scoring/60 min. I think the bigger priority is defense and gritty depth guys that ideally can help out on the pk. Agree on Greenway, though, If Mikheyev was going the other way, I might be more interested.
They don't create nearly enough chances at ES. They're a low event team.
