haha I'm old enough to remember when he wouldn't engage with the team on a new contract....dragged Elliott to Stockholm for the big HNIC segment to discuss why he was in no hurry to sign an extension.....wanted to play for a winner.....and then he got Rutherforded. The way he's playing his current hand, he might get Rutherforded again.

Well it looks like sports analysts really ate up Friedman's spitballing at the wall. Yesterday after hearing Friedman make his bogus Pettersson to Buffalo proposal, a bunch of other writers and analysts started to Twitter, post, write about ALL of the trade activity that's going on with the Canucks. How the Canucks are near acquiring the top 4 they were looking for. That there is a good chance of the Canucks making a significant trade before the holiday deadline. A deal is in place that is far greater than just Desharnais. I'm starting to wonder if all these insiders ate up the bullshit Friedman threw down 2 days a go regarding a potential Pettersson trade. Very, very quiet today considering the Canucks were apparently so close to a deal.
Who knows, hopefully I am wrong but this all seems like BS to me. I guess we will officially find out at 11:59pm tonight.

It's probably all BS and then after the holidays they'll suddenly announce a trade that none of the "insiders" had on their radar at all.

I am beyond caring about the blow-by-blow on a junior high-ass feud between two star players being paid millions to do a job. If these two LITERALLY GROWN-ASS MEN can't ****ing talk it out and get back to work, then wtf are we even doing here?

It's weird that the entire fanbase is picking a side here, I'm kind of tired of both of them.

Last few pages are a decent outline why Buffalo & Van are such good trade partners, and why it increasingly seems as if something is going to happen sooner or later ..
Sabres just got a good 3C, have two 2Cs, no actual defenders and too many pmd.
Canucks have two 1Cs, too many semi redundant giant defensemen, and only one pmd (&brannchise).

I want both to stay, they are different players. Great combo if they are both going. Who's keeping a 32 year old over a 26 year old.

We're only good partners in a Pettersson deal. Miller has a full NMC, and unless he hates Pettersson with every fiber of his being, I can't imagine there's any scenario he even considers waiving for the disaster that is Buffalo.
Which leaves us trading the younger asset. While I like Byram, he's nowhere close to the player Pettersson is. Nor does adding Cozen bridge that gap.

yeahhh that's the point..and what all the smoke is about.
I'd like to trade ep for the both of them, makes tons of sense in multiple ways, and makes both teams better.
Others may disagree idc, some seem to still love ep for whatever reasons that makes sense to them.
Practically no chance anything so big actually happens so it doesn't really matter but while there's smoke it's fun to talk about the potential deals.

horvat's problem was that he was everyone's friend. the team at that time needed someone who could get everyone pulling in the same direction even if it meant cracking the whip

Everyone wants to snag a minor piece for free from Barry Benning Trotz, I'd rather try to Pollock him.
I'd be trying to trade Miller to NSH for two firsts and a roster piece, and I'd be fine with him wanting to push them to the '26 and '27 drafts. One of those will be a top 5 pick.
I think Trotz would go for it.
I've been on and still am on the commit to the current Hughes contract window train and this wouldn't be about rebuilding, we'd have to turn around and fairly quickly trade a bunch of futures for win now pieces to compensate but an opportunity/stupidity of apparent magnitude like this doesn't come up often.

Can't trade both of them and every star but not superstar has their warts. There's an enormous amount of grass is greener going on right now with the people who want to trade these guys, incl. all of these Buf proposals.
Just trade everyone and rebuild again.
It's not like the ticket prices and attendance numbers would drop.

Now would be a good time to cash in on Miller tbh. Get a couple of top picks and flip them a dman and another young center.

I've seen enough, ship assets and Miller's pouty ass over to Buffalo for Byram and Cozens. If he rejects, pull a Trouba and threaten him with waivers.

It's surprising because the forwards they brought in (DeBrusk, Heinen, Sherwood) have good possession profiles. Brannstrom did as well. It's weird that they are worse than last year.

Allvin really fooked up letting Cole and Zadorov go. Not only would their veteran presence be good to calm this team down in this rut but I bet they would of put a stop to these star player locker room interactions aswell. Bringing back Myers and Desharnais to fill Zadorovs void is really starting to hurt this team. A huge miss on Alvin's part this past offseason.
