Calling him physical is stretching it. When you are barely 5'10, you are not intimidating anyone with your physicality. With the cap where it is, there is no way you are dumping Garland without salary coming back.
Who said "intimidating"? He initiates contact, doesn't back down from it, and comes out ahead more often then behind, especially considering his alleged handicap. As for sand paper, he suckers in other players into taking stupid penalties against him and mucks it up as the whistle is blowing. Marchand isn't "intimidating" either, but he has sandpaper. The two terms I used aren't synonymous with "intimidating".

Can you point out where I said no salary can come back? We just don't need offensive D and more wingers...which are typically what are offered (in Garland trades or any others), usually on worse contacts then Garland. If we have a defensive D on a sizable contract at a similar age that would replace what we'd lose in Garland, no one would be complaining on our end.

You seem to be doing a lot of projecting onto my posts, while going completely quiet on other points I've made that are counter to yours.

I think the Garland to Toronto thing kind of disintegrated a bit when Dubas moved to Pittsburgh. I think the Penguins are the much more likely candidate with interest now. Don't see Treliving having much interest in adding a munchkin winger. Doesn't really seem like his style.

3rd line winger? The dude has 60 points without any PP time. Might as well call him a 4th liner or 13th forward and Pettersson is 2nd line center lol
Ok why spend 5 million for a 4th line/ 13th forward. Your argument is the same that Leaf fans ade for Kerfoot. 50 points no PP time. better off resigning Kerfoot for 3.5 million than spending 5 million on Garland.
Petterson would make a very good 2nd line center on a team that is competitive. bottom 10 1C's are great 2C's on winning teams.

I think you didn't get my sarcasm. Garland is a 2nd line forward and Pettersson who puts 100 points a year is a 1st line center. Name me 30 centers better than Petersson and 120 wingers better than Garland to justify your point. The fact that you think Garland is a 4th liner makes it even more hilarious

I'm not sure it did.

Shane Doan is there now and he would be familiar with the player.

But Beyond that If You k at Treliving history he LOVES acquiring former Canucks.

Markstrom
Toffoli
Tanev
Raymond

I know I'm missing some.

I personally think Toffoli is more likely but I don't think the interest is dead.

I said Garland was a 3rd line winger you said he was a forth. I said Petersson is a bottom tier 1C.
He has been a 60 point center until this year, NOT 100 A POINT A YEAR center as you said.. This season looks like an outlier as this team needed to be introduced o the goalie after every game with the way this team played defence.
He isn't even in the top 5 centers in his own division. Hell on Edmonton he is the 4th line center. Like I said bottom tier 1C make great 2C on a good team.

Not a top 5 c in his division? A 4th line center on Edmonton?

If you wanted to flush any sort of credibility you may have had, right fown the crapper... well congratulations I guess

Lol, man

Ok so here are the last 5 seasons of Petersson, Lindholm and RNH.

319
323
325

Do you consider Lindholm and RHN top 5 1C in the Division?

Petersson is a 1C just not as good as most Vancouver fans think.

Games played:
325 (0.98ppg) - Pettersson
369 (0.88ppg) - Lindholm
344 (0.93) - RNH

Further separating them, EP is the best player on his team/line while Lindholm played with Gaudreau & Tkachuk until last year and RNH plays on the PP with McDrai (some even strength minutes too I believe).

You're also comparing EP since his rookie year to the prime years of RNH and Lindholm.

I love RNH and Lindholm and they are both amazing value for their caphit (near best in the league). I would take them on the Leafs in a second. However, Petersson is clearly the superior player out of this group. Not sure what your issue is against EP.

On Oilers he is 3rd line center. Hopkins is the 4th line center but I guess you aren't great at assessing players. Canucks would laugh if you offered Hopkins for Pettersson.

Don't quit your day job bro, you just aren't good at assessing any players. You saying Pettersson is a 2nd line center and Garland a 4th line winger shows just how much you know about hockey...pretty much nothing

This guy is so delusional he will probably take RNH over McKinnon. So I won't even take whatever he says seriously from now on based on anything hockey related.

Oof. There is a thread right now counting down the top 25 centers. Literally the entire board disagrees with you - which is actually impressive to be THAT wrong.

I mean, your comparing the primes of 2 older players, vs the rookie/sophomore etc years of Pettersson, who just started his prime this past season. Cherry-picking at it's finest.

RNH sponges off of MCDrai and isn't nearly the impact player EP is, and EP just out-scored Lindholm by nearly 40 points.

Now do the same for their first 5 seasons in the league which is all of Petterssons career there champ
