Player Discussion Elias Pettersson - Please, Be Civil

[mriswith]

Hopefully the flu or something and not that EP took one good vintage EP shot and his entire body immediately fell apart.

Sounds like it's not too serious

Pretty sure he is 100% health at all times.

He realized that he gave Miller an assist and left the game in disgust, then went home to further plot Miller's demise per Dhaliwal

bRO from 1:46 PM · Jan 8, 2023 get pucked dude

Yeah they have dates on tweets, just figured that one out?

Oh he absolutely has been out playing Miller.

Miller looks like a ghost of his former self after his extended personal leave.

I thought you ignored me that didn't last long

I know you like Loui Eriksson 2.0.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

He literally cost us the last game… you can keep the glasses.

Technically he didn't, Myers not being able to stop Pinto on a 1 on 1 battle was weak, Lankinen should of actually stopped that puck in OT, even Rick Bowness thought that, now did Miller not play defensively good yes not denying that, but he was far from the reason they lost the game lol.

Looks like your glasses are on all the time, you can keep them.

 

[racerjoe]

Again… lank would not have had to make the save if miller played either play better… Myers would not have had to make a play if miller played it better… they were two primary mistakes…

Petey has no issues playing against teams like SJ.

I haven't been in the loop. Just spend the best part of 2 hours going through this entire thread.

If you can get the media to shut up, it probably won't be a problem keeping both Miller and Petterson on the team, but if you're going to let media scum bring it up daily, it will make the issue unbearable an force a trade, which you guys really don't want

No way you guys are trading Miller and it's so unusual to see a team get good value in a trade for a player as good as Petterson.

You could end up getting as much value for him as Edmonton got for Hall, which is obviously unacceptable.

Shaq and Kobe hated each other, but we're able to put their differences aside and play together on the same court and go on to win .

The media brought it up in one scrum, after the coach and captain spoke about it pre game.

Why is it just accepted that the Van media is some insane monster?

I really do not see it. It is rather tame and vanilla when compared to any other major sport in North America...

It is very rare that anyone asks a question that makes a player or coach or gm even some what uncomfortable.

I'm not sure that is the case. Most people in the local media are considered nice people and reflective of most people's perception of Vancouver. Basically, aside from Sekeres, there's not a lot of hate or controversy.

I agree.

IF Pettersson was to be traded ....
The usual result is the team getting the player wins the trade.
Thorton - Bruins - San Jose, tough to say but SJ - this was never a trade offered throughout the league though.
Lindros - Quebec/Colorado - Flyers - maybe closer to a tie with Colorado winning longer term.
Gretzky - Oilers - Kings - winner Kings but Oilers did win another cup, Kings stuffed the arena.

Just mentioned a few of the biggest names traded but there are many more.

IMO IF Pettersson was dealt if might not be expecting too much less than maybe the Lindros type return.

Multiple firsts, top four Dman or top six forward, 2 AAA prospects.
Not limited to that combination but close to that value.

One issue might be what managements plan is going forward, would they want say a Dobson level dman? Would they want another Dahlin if made available or Powers? Zadorov has gone on to become a top pairing in Boston or top 3 anyway but management didn't want that player or thought 5 mil is too much. So does that limit the return?
