Fine with this as long as we come out with positive net assets out of the contract arbitrage. Doesn't really make us any better, but gives you a body to play in the top-six while hopefully accumulating some futures for the off-season.

I'm not a huge fan of trying to fix everything in-season. The trade market is exceptionally tight with the playoff logjam (especially in the East) and should loosen up heading into the summer as teams reassess. Personally, I'd be hoarding assets and cap space and waiting to fix things heading into the draft and free agency.

And a net zero offensive impact, which is what most everyone here is bitching about these days. It’s a lateral move for the sake of making moves. Now if we add Nyq without losing much, that’s a net positive for sure I love Nyq.

But netting Nyq and losing Boeser is shuffling chairs on the titanic.

The point would be to add even more cap space, and come out with a futures surplus. I don't think the Canucks really operate this way, however, and it would probably be more likely they pick-up a guy like Nyquist AND use Boeser as an own rental.

Not if they are trying to make the playoffs

Either end up with both or do the picks flip for another player routine

He was someone I had as a potential low cost target to add to our top six, but if a lot of teams were aggressively pursuing him, maybe the sticker price is too high. But I thought his speed would mesh well with what Allvin and Rutherford appear to be targeting with our forward group after getting guys like Chytil and O’Connor.

This is where I'm at as well. He's been given every concession and opportunity here and he has still been brutal for well over a year. Eichel gets thrown out there as a comparison - does anyone think Eichel would've rebounded post surgery if he stayed in Buffalo? I think it's time to move on from this player.

Are we looking out for the player, or the franchise? Eichel is much better off having moved on, but is Buffalo isn't.

Tuch is nice, but as a franchise they'd be in a better position with slightly lesser version of Eichel, or having waited to deal him when he wasn't at the exact bottom of his value - much like we'd be doing dealing Petey right now.

If there was an archetype for the player that does go full plumber, how far away would ep really be all things considered?



Also not too sure how much actual upside is there still, all while waiting a year plus for it to show up to the party again, the team could've & would've been winning more actual games with necas ++.

Idk, I watch a ton of hockey and sports, and I just dont see it with ep, haven't seen it from him for ages. Idk what some are still seeing or holding on to, but i dont see the redemption arc happening, especially not here.
I do commend the dedication to still believe in ep can lead an nhl team to sixteen playoff wins.

I find your position completely understandable, and I could easily see you being proven correct. Leading the team through 16 wins? Yeah, maybe not. Contributing? I could see it. But this version of the Canucks needs a miracle to win the cup no matter what they do.
 
Most if the motivation for trading Pettersson is just getting out of his contract which will be a Seth Jones albatross contract if Pettersson doesn’t find his game.

At this point, we aren’t getting much value for Pettersson, so trading him isn’t about who or what we might get.

Everything really comes down to whether management thinks it is likely or not that Pettersson can turn it around here in Vancouver. And every month he continues to fail to find his game must reduce this likelihood but also make him more difficult to trade. So it’s an extremely time sensitive decision in that if you wait too long, and he doesn’t find his game, then you are stuck with him.

Personally, I am not one of those posters that is confident predicting whether he will or won’t find his game.
