Speculation: Elias Pettersson will want out of Vancouver (Russo of the Athletic)

[Pip]

Vancouver fans literally actually unironically on suicide watch

Quietly

 

[Jumptheshark]

I am looking at the athletic and can not see it?

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Well I’ll openly admit I selfishly hope this is true so Quinn also wants to leave when his contract is up.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Easy to kick fans while their down (im sure many would do it regarding my team) ...but this stuff stinks.

You have to pay $69/month to see the title of the article, then more to actually read it.

not shocking if true

I feel bad for Vancouver fans. First it was Horvat, then Boeser, now Pettersson ouch!

Miller in there too

Pettersson has said some years ago that he wants to win. If he can win in Vancouver then that's great, if not, then, y'know.

 

[HBK27]

Pure click bait, his agent just finished saying he wants to stay long term.

“Going to want to move” is a LARGE assumption, similar to rumours saying McDavid is going to want to move

J.P. Barry says Elias Pettersson wants to sign long-term with the Vancouver Canucks

A day after a report stated that signing Elias Pettersson to a contrac...

Obviously we all have no idea if this is true or not, but Russo has a tremendous reputation and is not one to just toss clickbait out there.

At this point, Vancouver is legitimately the most dysfunctional organization in the NHL. The on-ice product sucks, the dressing room and front office have turned into the high school from "Mean Girls", and the general manager just admitted he probably should have retired before taking the job. Oh and the human rights issue, the Aquallini accusations, the COVID mess, multiple sexual assault allageations against players, etc etc etc...

Still quite a few worse organizations, but Vancouver is trending downwards

 

[RipsADrive]

That would be a big hit to the quiet yet best forward depth in the league.

or know how to get around the paywall--like I do so--I am looking for him writing about it--the link it about what he said and I am listening to it and to me--so far I think someone read more into something than that was actually said

 

[JlindiesANA]

Miller in there too

Yah what the heck is going on? I mean are the media just trying to stir the pot for the deadline?

With all these rumors coming out lately. There has to be smoke where there’s fire.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

What's next? Canucks want out of Vancouver?

All the more incentive to sign an 8 year contract.

Maybe, just maybe, they’ll be good enough to challenge for a playoff spot by the final year.

I think OP just means he works for them, not that it's posted there.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Gotta get those subscriptions for the Athletic up, need those clicks.

“Is going to want to move on”. Is about as click baity as you can get. The language itself is an assumption.


Star player in a large fan crazed market, easy to get attention

 

[Jumptheshark]

so Russo says "My gutt tells me he will want to move on"

 

[Taluss]

Wasnt there just a report about him wanting to stay and something about the extension being similar to Barzal?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

The divide in that room must be real

I'd imagine getting rid of JT Miller might cure it but looks like management chose JT instead

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Move em to Houston, Houston Canucks has a ring to it

Well the Grizzlies jumped from Vancouver to Memphis, so how about the Memphis Canucks? Another mid south franchise to keep the Preds and Blues company.

How does Michael Russo know

“Is going to want to move on”. Is about as click baity as you can get. The language itself is an assumption.

How else is he supposed to phrase it to make it less "click baity"?

How is it even click bait in the first place considering it was something he mentioned during a podcast, not an article he wrote?
