What jumps out to me is also the 10% drop or so in speed from 2022-23 to the first half of 2023-24. Obviously there is a second more severe drop after that but the decrease really starts earlier than when the patellar tendinitis is said to have begun.

We don't really know when the patellar tendinitus started though.

I think Pettersson said January of last year, but he may have only noticed it then I suppose. It’s just interesting because it more looks like a trend then some unexpected isolated decrease.

I think people just speculate January because that's when the points started drying up.

His points started to dip a bit around the all star game. He still won player of the month in Jan and his point total in Feb was still in line. March is when it really dropped.

Injured at the All-star game ?

he recently wrote an article for puckpedia that makes me question how he was ever an assistant GM: https://puckpedia.com/news/canucks-trades-werier


This is largely circumstantial. Sometimes your bets work out (Quinn Hughes, Jake Sanderson) and sometimes your bets do not (Colin White, Josh Norris), and the best surplus value you can get is out of your depth players. Star players should be paid for, and it's a bonus if you are paying less than market value, but it's not something that will tank your contending status.


Fernstrom might end up being good, but it seems like he thinks Fernstrom is lighting up his D+1 season, and he is not.


I am pretty confident that Marcus Pettersson is a better player than Jake Walman, and I think Walman is decent.

werier normally comes across as a really smart guy, but agree, idk, about his analysis here

to me the biggest thing i learned here is that tyler dellow left his vp of something vaguely analytical job with nj and is now an agm for the canes under tulsky??

if things don't work out with allvin following rutherford's retirement and castonguay isn't next up, i'd be happy to see dellow get a shot here. he's always come across as smart and balanced in his views, and now he has the front office experience to justify a management role

I'd pay his cap hit and throw in a pick just to keep Juulsen on the bench, even if he's stinky Soucy the rest of the way versus what he showed tonight.

Juulsen should be on the next bus to Abbotsford. I don’t really see a point in carrying him on the roster now.

Bolstering the D was so damn simple, and yet they waited until after trading the teams 1C.

Could have avoided this whole mess. 1st for a 2nd pairing Dman was in the cards long before the season even started.

January last year he said it in a article I was reading the other day

“It will be nice to get a break from everything,” admitted Pettersson. “It’s been a very noisy season in terms of contract and how sh*t I’ve been the last three months.”

“It’ll be nice to just get a break from that. I’m just excited to get a little break here and then get back on the horse again, train hard, come in the best shape possible for next season.”

They can just re-release that article again at the end of this season and it'll be just as fresh.

Wonder if they'd be able to acquire Couturier and have the Flyers retain 1.5-2m on his contract. Would be massive to have his faceoff ability and poise down the middle. Shame his contract is so bad and that he's lost some of the dynamism he used to have due to the back injuries.

Kyrou would also be an interesting target if the Blues fall out of the playoff race before the deadline.
