After seeing what we have seen.
Would you do the Cozens + Byram for Petey trade now?
Legit Curious

Make it Cozens, Quinn and a pick and I’m in.

 

[Hansen]

I'm still not convinced we are dealing with the original M2B.

The original M2B was not funny and hated communists (and Im pretty sure was Christy Clark's son Hamish), I think some mild brainwashing happened or maybe he smoked a joint once

 

[Bobby9]

still wouldn't, no. this is all very frustrating with Petey but IMO patience will pay off. He'll get right, I'm confident, even if I'd prefer its sooner than later.

Honestly at this point I just don't want to get stuck with his contract on the books. I would take that deal.

Cozens also has an albatross contract.

We need picks and prospects and Cap space

 

[Canucks LB]

instead of Byram, what about Peterka + Cozens for Petey, since our D is pretty set?
I have reduced my expectations significantly, but I think Peterka has 80+ Point potential, if not more.

 

[604]

Agreed on all accounts except: Zegras would be cheap. Something like Hoglander/Soucy + one of our good D prospects (not D Pettersson or Willander)
Would this be a TDL deal or more likely in the summer?

I doubt that. He’s not valueless and is still a 50-60 point centre that is under 25.

I think it’s a 1st + b-prospect to get him.

 

[Bobby9]

Zegras is a non starter. We need size, speed and skill. We have enough weakness in the top 6

Stone, Eichel

McD, Drai

55, Vilardi and Lowry

Kopi, Byfield and PD

We really think players like EP116, Garland and Zegras are gonna go through a 7 game series against them.

JT at least helped. We are so much less difficult to play against with his loss

 

[Fatass]

I doubt that. He’s not valueless and is still a 50-60 point centre that is under 25.

I think it’s a 1st + b-prospect to get him.

I could see a first + b prospect providing Hoglander and Soucy (cap balance) go too.
Or would Allvin pivot to Norris if he’s using a first?

All of those things, plus a boy grew up.

No.

No.

It's because you would have to change your name, I get it

Baby Cousin just doesn’t have the same ring to it

 

[I am toxic]

Probably. But where would this sub forum be without my precise and articulate GDT analysis? Some of them I posted over 100 times a thread. Almost always were well thought out posts

"offside"

"icing"

"commercial"

I believe I did explain a few times in GDTs, and will say what @Lindgren said is true.. but also neuro feedback is a magical thing...

Anyways, Baby Couzins sounds like a high quality username

No because those two players are either awful or one hit away from retirement. For a better package, sure.

 

[David71]

team still needs some big bodies in the top 6. nobody is scared of garland/petey lol. lawson crouse? i do brady tkachuk for ep40 no questions asked.

agreed, but i will say that garland still plays really hard despite his size. like not so much hitting guys but is just strong on the puck hes a lowkey beast. but yea petey is toast

It isnt even big bodies its just guys that go to war.. bennett hagel types

watched a bit of the Ducks since around the time JT to NY rumours were rampant early Jan. wanted to see McTavish and LaCombe (mostly McTavish because he’s one of my wishful fantasy targets) but ended up focusing on Zegras.

What caught my eyes were his hustle in the forecheck and gritty style of play, like a poor man’s Marchand. Never really thought he was that sort of player. offensively he’s always attempting to create something. Not really a shoot first player. Involved in scums, constantly directing traffic, talking on the bench. He’s matured quite a bit. And I used to think he was a showboating clown to be honest and my opinions of him have changed.

I checked the Anaheim boards and if you look at their Zegras thread, there are fans who saying they’ll quit being fans if Zegras is ever traded. To me that suggests they hold Zegras in high esteem and they think he’s the most valuable offensive player they have which seems accurate from what I’ve seen.

Cozens to me seems like a riskier bet but I really have no clue what he’s like cuz I’ll be damned if I have to watch a Buffalo game lmao.

Fair enough i guess i just dont see it with as much conviction as you do.

I wont comment on the fan board piece cause.. well.

I dont see the pace with him, atleast in the same way or the compete or the actual strength we need up front.

Stop

the absolute best case scenario with Pettersson is that the the tendonitis is no longer an issue and he's humiliated by his play this year (rightfully so) and will train over the summer at a level sufficient to regain his prior form.

The worst case scenario is the knee problem is chronic and he just won't have the speed to create enough separation to pick the defense apart. Defenders will play him tight and easily overpower him physically.

If i was in Alvin's shoes I'd put a ton of pressure on him to stay in Vancouver over the summer and train locally.

If I was Alvin I would get out from under that anchor of a contract before its too late. With every passing game red flags will deter other teams.

God yes

 

[supercanuck]

I wonder how much Bennett will command as a UFA this offseason. Count me in as intrigued
