Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Chaos Lurks Beneath the Surface

Tocchet was here last year when every shot, bounce, side eye and fart we had on the puck went in for the first half of the season

Then he changed everything

Glad everyone's on my bandwagon now! Been on the trade EP wagon for over a year. Welcome.

It is interesting to see most ppl have now come around to where we've been for over a year.
Still a handful of tendinitis titans to go.

I don't think theyve got the guts to do anything before tdl, they've had tons of opportunities.
I do think he's gone before nmc, possibly more due to fear than desire.

Elias Pettersson will never lead a team to a cup. Ever. QUOTE me.

 

[coastal_nuck]

They need to get rid of him before the NMC locks in. I've lost all faith that he will be an effective player long term and one that will bring this team to any form of success when it matters.

Even if management wanted to trade EP before his NMC kicks in, his value is at an all time low and there wouldnt be many GMs who would even consider it.

Like really...if you were the GM of another team, would you trade A+ assets for Petey right now? What can you realistically get for him...Cozens with no add? A 1st round pick and prospect? Probably less than what we got for JT.

i think we are stuck with him and hope he comes back next year with his head on straight. Sad times ahead for this team.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I need trades

These will never not be funny

I still haven't changed my mind. I mean, I watch the same guy as everyone else, but just given how rare it is for a player like him to transform into a plumber for the rest of his career, I'd keep him for the upside. It's just playing the odds. Pretty much have written off this entire season, though. Not a single thing has gone right for anyone. Even Hughes is injured now.

 

[Delocatedfan]

If we were to revisit the old sabres rumour of cozens + something (at the time it was either Byram).

Would we have interest if the + was one of Peterka, Quinn or Kulich?

For me I still say no & its no disrespect to any of the players above but Pete has a higher ceiling than those guys. The only upside I can think of is it brings in another winger to shore up the top 9.

 

[Kryten]

A very fork in the road moment for him and our team overall. Will he be chronically injured, will he be sold for peanuts, will he destroy our future being stuck with him, will he rebound and learn how to get strong, will he unicycle down a fashion runway and make more bad investments

 

[Wry n Ginger]

EP40 doesn't represent any teams "brand". He is a marketing disaster and actively seems to foil the teams messaging. His petulant responses indicate that he can't handle this fanbase and it's knowledgeable hockey fans.

He hasn't tried in years, his options are:

Physically try harder
Mentally try harder
Coast and make excuses...ding ding

 

[David71]

If Pettersson turns his game around it won’t be in Van, he’s not mentally strong enough to handle Vancouvers heavy spotlight of a market. If we can move him by the TDL for something decent we have to consider it.

maybe a US based team. detroit/LA

 

[David71]

If the Canucks' final offer is $8M by 6 years and Brock still says no then I'm afraid it's time to trade Prince Charming

My question is what happened to this teams high offense. Miller Petty Boeser even Kuzmenko were all scoring and goals where coming in easy.Then Tocchet comes in changes the whole dam system around .All of a sudden everyone stops scoring.Wants the dump and chase and low scoring games.Sorry but I'm putting most of this on Tocchet and his system for this teams awful season.

there's some truth to this. He was lighting the lamp with Kuzmenko. Not sure wtf happened. we had our own Lotto line with Petey Brock and Jt miller, lighting the lamp, they get shut down for one game despite working most of the time , and suddenly the lotto line was never put together again. I'm personally getting sick of Tocchet.
