If Pettersson took a shot from the point on Silovs what would happen? Universe implodes?

Calgary often has an advantage in their first game coming from Calgary to the coast. Calgary is at a higher elevation and that affects their ability to play well into the 3rd period as sea level air is higher in oxygen. They are accustomed to thinner air found at altitude, similar to Colorado. It takes 3-5 days to acclimatize. It works in reverse for sea level teams going to Calgary and the thinner oxygen usually means the visiting team will suck air by the 3rd period. Unless it's Colorado flying in directly, they'll be comparable.
calgary elevation - Google Suche "Calgary is located at an altitude of approximately 1,048 meters (3,438 feet) above sea level. This places the city at a relatively high elevation compared to many other major Canadian urban centers."

Can you the work then?
What are some trades you think could work
Hey, Bourne, I always enjoy reading your takes so my question is genuine and not of mocking nature.
But would you trade Pettersson’s contract for Horvat’s? And if not, by what margin
Thanks

I wouldn't.
Much as we've all been critical of Petey. His bad season last year still eclipsed Horvat's by nearly 30 points. He's also a better overall player, especially in his own zone. It's always amused me just how much people overrated Horvat's defensive play outside the Canucks fanbase. He's not bad but he's nowhere close to a specialist.
I'd say if Pettersson had a repeat of last year, i.e., a good half and a average half that resulted in a low 90s point total. He'd be worth about 9.5M maybe 10M given where he could end up.
The better question, in my opinion, will be if Pete's contract was worth losing Lindholm and Zadorov. It's far too early to judge, of course. Even a slow start doesn't mean Pete can't explode and reach a 100+. That's really why he can command 11M. The potential to go on a huge point streak is always there. It's just a matter if he can actually hit it.

They tried to shut it down like Tampa used during the big days, but they ended up getting exposed ultimately
Though not a complete defensive meltdown, I’d say they win that game with a better performance from Silovs

So you disagree with the managements decision to try to build a contender now as opposed to rebuilding?
What other trades with futures coming back as the main piece would you like to see happen after we move our franchise center?

JT Miller?
Right now EP is just the franchise C in terms of cap. When is the last time he scored and ESG? Right now I dont even think you could get Seth Jarvis in a 1 for 1 trade for EP.
At 7-8M I have no issue w how EP plays. At 11.6 M it's a massive liability for this management group.

Effort was there for the first 20mins... after that...
I believe Miller line got credit for zero shots on goal the last two periods 5on5.
Canucks were 42-1-4 last season when leading after 2 periods.
Have to play more structured and tighten up defensively going forward, also need better goaltending. Can’t be blowing too many 3 goal leads this season as a contending team.

They considered trading him before his NMC clicked in (Necas) but ultimately decided against it. If the contract were signed after the terrible playoff performance it would've been a much lower cap hit (a rare blunder by management who otherwise have been excellent). Our only hope now is for EP to turn into the player we all know he can be.

Nope, I tolerate Oilers fans and enjoy conversing with them from time to time; however, when it comes to my team it’s the Canucks. Always was and always will be

We scored 5 but allowed 6.
Thought we had a good defensive system.
Granted we used our ahl goalie.
