Why are we so dead set on accumulating Pettersson's?
Why are we so dead set on accumulating Pettersson's?
i mean if the top 6 is something like pdg/miller/boeser, debrusk/pettersson/heinen, joshua/blueger/garland then that leaves sherwood, suter, podkolzin and hoglander. there's no way that's a tocchet 4th line imo
the only way pods or hogs are in the lineup is if they play the system and if they do then yes they can be part of a tochett 4th line. hoglander absolutely has the physical game to play hard in his own zone if he chooses. pods is a bruiser.
to me the most likely place for pods would be the fourth line, if he makes it at all.
I think there's about zero chance PDG is anywhere near the top six following the winger acquisitions. I'm not sure he'll even be a regular in the line-up.
Haha, no kidding. GM says something and people actually think that's set in stone. Are they new to hockey all together haha. Situations are very fluid.the 'we expect our young players to compete for spots' stuff is just standard gm patter. no gm ever says 'oh yeah we need to sign a bunch of guys because our farm is just total garbo'
We are ragging on Hoglander (who was in his first taste of playoff action) for fading in the playoffs at 1.1 mill/year... yet we have a guy who did the same thing for 11+ mill, with an "A" on his sweater and has been in the league a lot longer.
mmk.
I mean Petey got way more heat than Hog, not even close to the same tier, it felt like a right amount of criticism for both for the reasons you just stated.We are ragging on Hoglander (who was in his first taste of playoff action) for fading in the playoffs at 1.1 mill/year... yet we have a guy who did the same thing for 11+ mill, with an "A" on his sweater and has been in the league a lot longer.

Well I mean he scored 24 goals and played a good portion of the season on the 4th line.I mean, people are ragging on Pettersson, too. He'd better be an absolute f*** ton better next year. Everyone knows that his bad play was a much bigger problem than Hoglander's.
But he's also a guy who scored 90 points and that buys you some slack, unlike a guy who is hanging onto the bottom of an NHL roster.
I see Raty/Sasson having a higher chance of becoming an everyday NHLer than Bains to be honest. But it’s close between them and yeah agreed there’s basically no one that really stands out and no room for anyone to come up.I hope Bains comes to camp ready to compete, strong and quick. Not sure I see Raty or Sassons outcompeting anyone but they’re outside chance I guess. But I agree virtually no room for anyone to come up.
we signed the wrong Elias.I mean Petey got way more heat than Hog, not even close to the same tier, it felt like a right amount of criticism for both for the reasons you just stated.
Hoglander was a footnote, Petey got the negative headlines.
he's actually good defensemen, would be a great 3 or 4.Why are we so dead set on accumulating Pettersson's?
Rasmus Andersson plz. (Add whatever it may take to the above if needed)Hoglander and/or Podkolzin are going to be traded this year with our 1st. It’s almost guaranteed.

Fine, let's go with this for a pre-season game.
Patterson - Elias Pettersson - Emil Pettersson
E Pettersson - M Pettersson
Extra: Pederson
Cal Petersen
Good luck John Shorthouse.
Yeah. And nobody said a thing about Pettersson!We are ragging on Hoglander (who was in his first taste of playoff action) for fading in the playoffs at 1.1 mill/year... yet we have a guy who did the same thing for 11+ mill, with an "A" on his sweater and has been in the league a lot longer.
mmk.
It's worth noting that after management gave some lip service to a 'push from the farm' and some posters here were expecting a bunch of Abbotsford guys on the team next year, there is basically no room for anyone except Silovs and maybe Podkolzin, both of whom we already saw lots of last year.
Definitely seemed that was going to be the case when it was presented to everyone that they were going to be big game hunting. Funny how the actual strategy was the complete opposite.
Still, if they end up moving out Podkolzin and Hoglander for a defenseman or scoring forward then we’ll most likely see someone from the farm get a spot.

I can't tell if you are flirting with me or not.Yeah. And nobody said a thing about Pettersson!
Good on you to bring this up!
Not sure about giving terms to Tarasenko at this point but that’s a nice AAV
