Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Countdown to play Resuming

[bossram]

Do you think Petey listens to 650? Petey’s media comment was about the reporters asking him questions, and certainly not about discussions on 650.
There’s no more defending this player.

I think Petey has a pretty good sense of the media conversation surrounding him.

I also don't think the media is the problem.

Rutherford is about to trade Petey then retire right before Hughes’ contract comes up. Par for the course.

Exactly what he did in PIT.

"Oh things are going badly now? Organizational dysfunction? Oh yah, well, actually I'm retiring...uh...today"

 

[I am toxic]

I mean, I have no idea what's actually going on. But after the first reports of Miller and Pettersson feuding, whenever there's a reported conflict between Pettersson and anyone else we just create a story about that conflict that absolves him of any blame and paints the other party as having attacked him.

There isn't any question Miller as at fault for the bullying. Bringing it up in relation to the tendinitis Petey faces is bizarre but par for the course

Petey may be at fault for certain things, but those things are not really discussed, and even more, no evidence has been presented. But you don't even know what they are, do you

 

[MS]

Given everything I know and have watched and have heard about Pettersson for the last 5 years, I would have been shocked if he *did* get along with the Sedins, to be honest. The guy is a sulky, moody, primadonna pissbaby and pretty much the polar opposite of the Sedins in every way.

 

[sensodyne17]

Not sure any of this is valid sry, he clearly has the worst tendinitis in nhl history which absolves him of any fault, apparently.

The list of Petey excuses the apologists can come up with are hilarious.

Ovechkin broke his leg this year at age 39 and has 29 goals in 41 games.

But Petey can't perform because... his wrist, his knee, his mental health, his surroundings, his receding hairline, the mean media, coach is mean, JT is mean, no wingers, hot girlfriend and so on.

 

[BWJM]

Yup trade his ass.

You're in a thread where they are being discussed right now and participating in a discussion of them. Dave Chapelle already did this joke better with the Black Klansman sketch.

, and even more, no evidence has been presented.

No evidence is available to be presented about any of this, that's my point. You just embroidered an entire story about the Sedins not taking Pettersson's tendonitis seriously from a rumour that he doesn't get along with them.

JT Miller's wife also though she had good taste in furniture when it was in fact pedestrian. Imagine being Swedish and having to deal with that.

What a stupid thing to say

Yup trade his ass.

The guy simply has no idea how soft he has it here compared to being in Montreal or Toronto or NY or Philly. He'd be getting eviscerated by fans and media on a daily basis in those markets for a calendar year of this level of play for that salary.

I mean, hell, even Dubois in a 'non-hockey market' in LA last year was taking it far worse than Pettersson ever has here.

 

[sting101]

But let me remind you, in the space of a year, we are now a team who is in a playoff spot despite EVERYTHING going wrong and, despite what you may want based on last year's dream ride, that is progress.

I do think we need to move Boeser, I would keep Forbert and Suter unless someone blows our socks off, and probably relay the Boeser assets into another top 6er if we can.

Progress? Jeesh c'mon man at least be honest

Move Boeser and keep Suter and Forbort. Team cant score goals... makes sense?

We have 2 top6 forwards. Pettersson Boeser
1 potential one in Lekkerimaki.
We have Debrusk who actually compliments them well and fits as a top6 complimentary player when on his game.
We have Garland who can swap in from time to time but is ideal running the 3rd line
Chytil same

We are 25goals off the top teams pace currently and that's with a straight swap of Miller (82 goals) for Chytil (34goals last 3yrs) which puts us down 2 25-30 goal scorers and you want to lose Boeser so we can go into free agency and outbid for Ehlers Marner Rantanen?

 

[Diversification]

I've been saying this for pretty much the entirety of the last year.

At some point, the switch will flick and he'll go back to being an elite player. But that will likely only be for an indeterminate period before something happens to slightly upset his universe and he turns into a pumpkin again. It's been the pattern for basically his whole career.

Then the wisest course of action is to wait it out until the switch has flipped. Then deal him from a position of strength. The NTC deadline is immaterial if his trade value has bottomed out. As we have seen many times before, players can be dealt with NTCs and while it will affect the return, it will still be more than his current value unless a team that can't sign players (Buffalo or WPG) pony up with a package they can't refuse (doubtful).

 

[moiderer]

What a fall it's been for Petey.

He was our golden boy with Botch (the most cavalier from our media) banging the drum for him nonstop.

Now Imac (the least confrontational media member) and Drancer (maybe the most contrarian or the least externally influenced) are both going for the throat.

The org has been ragging on him since the season's start (even before the Miller feud reigniting) and going back to last season, so the only defenders he's got left are the ones online.

He's making 11.6, might not score 50, and no one in the know (mgmt, coaching, medical, media) is throwing him a bone. Fans are the last ones on the boat.

I mean, hell, even Dubois in a 'non-hockey market' in LA last year was taking it far worse than Pettersson ever has here.

Markus Naslund had two consecutive playoff runs being PPG or better (2003 and 2004) but was grilled all summer and labeled a choke artist by our media because Cloutier/Auld couldn't stop shit. Our media used to be absolutely savage back then.

 

[Wisp]

Re: Deadline. Trading Boeser and Garland. Parlay whatever assets you get to an impact forward with all that cap space.

Haven't been impressed by Garland since the JT trade. Playing like a sad American. Wonder if Buffalo would be interested - they have lots of futures and are looking for veteran help.

Ideally I'd like to keep Boeser but if the price is wrong, maybe this team needs a different mix.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

Yeah, i dont expect Petterson to be an all star due to his injury and lack of training this summer, but come on, he has to at least score sometimes.

 

[Bobby9]

JT being gone has badly exposed EP. Who would have seen that coming?

 

[Wisp]

I don't know why people are grilling Petey right now when his line is the only productive one since 4 Nations Return. He was fine just before the return, too. Everyone here is unhinged and unserious, I'm sorry. Injured guy, playing in a knee brace, and is still the team's most effective forward.

There's a long list of forwards who got nothing going on at all. Garland, Boeser, Joshua all playing like a sad Americans, Chytil and Suter got zero going on in the last 2. You guys are bashing Petey out of habit at this point.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’ve been on team trade Petey for awhile now and last night and this morning has firmly solidified my stance.

Trade him. Get as many pieces as you can for him. I’m done. There’s just too many f***ing problems it’s never ending with him.

Of the players you mentioned, only one is making more than half of what Petey makes and some of them about a quarter. Brock has as many points and Garland only one less.

How easy is it for depth guys to score when the other team doesn't have to worry about covering your 1C, when one is traded and the other one doesn't want to skate?

If Petey is seriously injured, the org would come out and protect their asset or at least not play him on a B2B. Hasn't happened over a calendar year. And now the media is tired of defending him too.

I've been told it is pure conjecture, no need for you to write a novel* of nonsense

* I know, it's derogatory for long winded post. Sue me

 

[VanillaCoke]

Cozens zero points in an eight goal game vs nyr, and one point in the last five games..

Buffalo needs a big shakeup, already have many swedes, less media/fan attention, etc.

This team needs new blood and getting cozens plus quinn or kulich of whatever you can get can't be much worse than watching ep get easily bumped off the puck half a dozen times a game.

His trade value is probably not very high and you probably aren't getting many pieces of much quality.

"The org wouldn't let him play injured," is the dumbest argument Petey's critics make day after day and shows you don't pay attention to how this org handles injuries. Don't talk to me when you obviously don't know what the eff you're talking about.

And the reason I mentioned ALL the other forwards is because they only have one line producing goals right now. Petey's. The salary argument is bunk when the whole team is only scoring 1 goal a game. I don't need every forward to score every game, but your second, third, and fourth lines doing zero in two games is more indicative to the Canucks problems now than EP40.

Trade for an equally unproductive player but for less salary? Sign me up! Those are the kind of moves that guarantees Quinn stays
