Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Petey's. Petey's everywhere.

[Peen]

Only as speculation. I haven’t heard anything credible from the usual insiders. I don’t think it would be crazy if he was traded.

I feel like I remember Dhali saying the canucks asked about Tuch and were shut down

 

[Bgav]

The sabres are terrified to f*** up a trade. Pretty funny

 

[VanillaCoke]

The sabres are terrified to f*** up a trade. Pretty funny

Pretty annoying too, they've got so many good to great options to package up, they're just ultra trigger terrified.

He'd be amazing

 

[DFAC]

Teuvo is a player I always liked. Can play anywhere in the Line up too.

So our soft forward group gets even softer? No thanks

 

[FuzzyTitus]

I feel like I remember Dhali saying the canucks asked about Tuch and were shut down

There was some Sabres fans posting on the trade board that his wife was from Vancouver and rumor is she's pushing to come home. Wouldn't say no depending on cost.

 

[Josepho]

I disagree with Teravainen as a specific target but I don't think this forward group (and team in general) is soft at all and if anything we actually need some skilled guys up there.

We're like 3rd in hits/game, for the record.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Ehlers AND Barzal. Just build the smallest team possible.

 

[Vector]

I feel like I remember Dhali saying the canucks asked about Tuch and were shut down

I probably would have remembered that but it’s definitely possible.

 

[Bleach Clean]

My point is that Dhaliwal isn't necessarily 100% credible. He could just have bad sources. We don't know who he spoke to with the Canucks, or whether he spoke to anyone with the Canucks. He could have got the information second hand.
I agree that is a bit puzzling. It may be that it was such a minor injury that management was never made aware. But you would think they were aware of all players' injury statuses.

My post was questioning the theory that the Canucks medical staff / management somehow don't currently know of an existing injury that actually has existed for like a calendar year, and which has been acknowledged and discussed by the player, the coach and the media, and which is currently a signficant factor in their highest paid player scoring at half his expected rate. Like, its a wild theory in my view.

I get that medical staff, and by extension, a management team, could miss and not know of a new injury to a player, for whatever reason, but that's not what we are talking about right now.

Allvin and the medical staff know about the injury (Tocchet said the MStaff discussed it), they just didn't think they had to shut him down.

Pettersson directly conflicting their understanding is not puzzling, it's illuminating. They disagree.

Dhaliwal is 100% a credible source. It's just unlikely he is filtering information from Pettersson.

[Hates Pettersson]
Would have been able to give Bo his 8milly and run JT-Bo each with a top tier winger.

Lol oh yes, because they were the very best of friends! True story.

 

[LemonSauceD]

He’s another who I like.

Young skilled C who has already put up PPG in the AHL.

Decently touted in the draft year as well.

100% would look into the cost.

Nazar is untouchable. He’s gonna be a Brayden Point 2.0. Speed skill and plays a 200ft game and is already PKing at 21 years old.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I was wondering how Philipp Kurashev was doing over there. 8 points and -27. What in the actual f***?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

So we can get him for Noah Juulsen.

Nice!

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I hope Rantanen implodes in CAR. Then comes to us in FA.

Why? If he completely bombs, I want nothing to do with the 13-14M offers he'll still get.

 

[strattonius]

Why? If he completely bombs, I want nothing to do with the 13-14M offers he'll still get.

Why would he bomb?

He's not just a product of Mackinnon those are laughable takes.

 

[valkynax]

He is doing what that team is doing top to bottom - professionally useless person.

 

[xtr3m]

Vancouver Sherwoods

 

[DFAC]

He wont fix our scoring issues but I really hope mgmt signs Mathieu Olivier this offseason. Love what he would bring to our bottom 6. Brazeau and Mangiapane are 2 other guys I would look at too

Also have a gut feeling we're going to sign Roslovic this summer....

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Why would he bomb?

He's not just a product of Mackinnon those are laughable takes.

The person I quoted was speaking hypothetically of him bombing in Carolina with the critique he was a product of MacKinnon and Makar. In that scenario, paying him 14M on the hopes he proves otherwise is a very risky take.

 

[David71]

Hard pass on both. No way I want Tyler Bertuzzi anywhere near this team.

why not? he has grit plays in the paint.

 

[Wisp]

why not? he has grit plays in the paint.

he's also a prick and runs out his welcome quickly, i think we've had enough of that.

 

[sensodyne17]

Hold onto our 1st and draft a C. There's lots in this draft.

Why?

Our mission is to keep Quinn Hughes by being as competitive as possible.

Drafting a center this year does nothing for that.

If they actually use the pick it’s a massive organizational failure.
