Honestly this has went through my mind as well. Once it kicks in and he has a huge say where he goes then he may ask

Pettersson feels like a player that would love to play in a sunny city like LA/SJ/ANA and I would be ok trading him there.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

He sucks rn but there’s no way this is true.

The smarter play would be to play hard UNTIL then to ensure you don’t get sent somewhere you don’t want to go.

There's just no way he's injured... he's mentally checked out.

I just can't defend him anymore.

I think he wants to be here but doesnt want to put in the effort off the ice unless that effort is video games and fashion shows

Who is the last rookie Canuck defender to come in a play as assertively on defence as Pettersson? Know some people have mentioned Edler, but while he stood out with the puck on his stick, he was way more passive/tentative defensively to start. Maybe Ohlund?

Probably Ohlund. Bourdon was meh defensively. Edler was timid at the start. Corrado wasn’t anything spectacular.

 

[me2]

Man, we look so different, actually pushing pace for once, w t f

Players that haven't been indoctrinated are still playing like the used to. Tocchet needs to take notes.

It’s funny, a lot of ppl have mentioned Edler, but I see more Ohlund. Especially when you see EP25 in person, in gear, he is thick like Ohlund.

Corrado? Tanev?

Neither of them stood out like Pettersson, though.

 

[sandwichbird2023]

The team is significantly more entertaining and the games more watchable since the trade. Despite the game being 1-0 so far I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I lost count of the number of times I fell asleep watching this team struggled to get to 20 shots for weeks.

 

[Bobby9]

Hes waiting for his NTC to kick in so he can choose his destination is my guess... shitty part is he has TANKED his value.

Bro has 7 points in his last 19 games.

1 goal in his last 13 games.

Young Ohlund was fantastic, if he hadn't had the eye injury his number would be in the rafters here.

 

[TruGr1t]

The implications of D.Pettersson breaking out down the left-side are substantial, obviously. You have a lot more flexibility on building the roster. We have needed an impact ELC for so long, somewhat in shock.

Wouldn't it be smart of him to tank his value before requesting a trade though? That means his new club will have to give up less assets for him (and they'd be stronger because of it).

Hughes

 

[DFAC]

Edler

Tanev?

 

[logan5]

Pettersson for Necas, Kotkaniemi, Morrow and a 1st rounder last season would've altered the trajectory of this entire franchise.

We beat the Oilers, for one.

And this season Necas went supernova this season while playing on the second line in Carolina, imagine lining him up with Miller? They'd be unstoppable.

Our defensive core would be set for the next decade with Hughes, Hronek, M-Petey, D-Petey, Morrow and Willander --- but without sacrificing our offense.

EDit nevermind

 

[wonton15]

The possibility of having both DPetey and Willander on this team on ELCs is gamechanging. Throw $16M at Rantanen cowards.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Last chance is the Four Nations. I think he will have his old SHL coach. Lets see if that can help. If not, I say trade him.

Patience. Demko is the lesson.

Whatever is affecting Pettersson's speed will be addressed. It will just be so very frustrating waiting until that occurs.

I’d bet money EP is gone by the TDL.

It's almost guaranteed they will throw massive money at the forwards in UFA this summer.

 

[Rick Rocket]

Peter needs to move his fricken feet, skate laps in the offensive zone... just MOVE

 

[Kryten]

Hughes

Hughes wasnt a stud D when he broke in though, that came 2 years later. He was more flashy O when he started

Marner

 

[alternate]

Don't agree with the EP40 hate. Not about this game, he's been invisible so far. But best thing for this organization is still for him to refind his swagger.

Unless something crazy gets offered, he should get to finish this year. Reevaluate in June.

Sending positive vibes and love to EP40. Give us a sign of life ol buddy.

Before the season I was thinking he might be a call up option for us next season. Incredible development to have him already step in and play meaningful minutes already and look confident doing it. Lots of Ohlund/Edler in his game.
