GDT: [GM52] Vancouver Canucks vs Detroit Red Wings | Sun, Feb. 2nd | 5pm | SNP | New Faces, New Friends

[Quinning]

I'm in the camp that we should trade Petey too - he (along with Miller) has proven that he isn't a team player and couldn't get past whatever happened. So childish & selfish. Just disappointed and disgusted with how everything played out.

Don't even get me started on his play on the ice.

When does his NMC officially kick in? Start of next season or the off-season?

I could see them moving him pre-deadline if he doesn't turn on the jets. With Miller gone the pressure is off and there will be a few good offers.

 

[Slapshot_11]

I really wonder if we traded petey, would that have also solved the problem.

Or was his locker room problem so bad that other players want to get rid of him also?

We will never know

Cleary we do since they traded the better player

 

[Canucks LB]

He has multiple nights of piss poor effort. He clearly didn't want to be here anymore. Whats the point of keeping him around.

Like I said earlier, will he still feel that way if we traded petey?
It does make you wonder a bit, trading JT Miller of course makes the most sense

Cant tell who youre talking about now

 

[Lenny Levino]

And lose his boyish look in designer clothes?

Yes. Maybe he'll be able to grow a beard too. Could end up looking like Ekholm.

Well, that could be debated, not so much the better player because JT Miller is the better player, but the reason they traded him, obviously it was because of locker room problems, but keeping petey over JT in my opinion is also about age more than anything.

Who knows. Really no point in wondering. These are the cards we are dealt. We just have to work with what we have and move forward . I really hope Pettersson can get his shit together .

True true

 

[Canucks LB]

Anyways, back to the game, love the speed so far, the pace has been much better, let’s keep it going

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

I said in the trade thread the other day that the worst part of how the JT saga played out was how close we looked to putting it all together last year and now it's gone.

Looks like the second worst part will be the complaining about every point he puts up in NY lmfao.

If letting one player affecting his play this much, then he's nothing but a pissed baby

EP's struggle to me has more to do with Tocchet's system IMO

 

[me2]

JT Miller 4 points in 2 games.

Excellent. The more points he gets, the more wins the Rangers get, the less I need to care about the the pick jr gave away

Alvin is not trading miller over petey because of age

Alvin wants to compete with hughes few years to convince him to stay

Miller will be the better player during hughes last years of his current contract

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Fair point. I still love the guy. But man he put the pen to paper for 11.6Mill a year. Time to live up to it.

if he doesn't

his teammates will let him know and he will be gone before July

I mean Igor Shesterkin ofc

 

[wonton15]

Our “top” line is just dumping it in, getting cycled against, and changing

 

[Kryten]

We went from fretting about the pick that Benning gave away to now JRs with the same player

This year July 1st

"They got a good team over there"

Zzzzzzzzz

He could finish the season with 13 points in 30 games, a -15, and three teammate fights and people will still say we missed the boat. You’re seeing that now with Zadorov and Lindholm

 

[Tact]

Petey, Boeser and Demko are free to go now

 

[Canucks LB]

That was a pizza from 3petey lol

So lucky

 

[God]

he had 64 points in 49 games before the all-star break last season, it's not the system

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I’m convinced EP is getting traded.

If not at the TDL, it will be at the Draft.

 

[drax0s]

K, liked that pass pick off by Juulsen.
