they got good pieces though.

whatever their history, i sincerely doubt pettersson and miller are PRESENTLY fighting. There's probably nothing to talk about or resolve behind the scenes... wouldn't be surprised if their teammates are making jokes about it. the team is simply having a tough stretch and the power play swap is simply tactical.

I understand and agree that a scandalous conspiracy that explains away all the Canucks problems and justifies exciting blockbuster trades is very appealing for what we do around here.

they got good pieces though.

and at the end of the day, isn't that the point of the NHL? to get good value in trades.

Holy f*** look at how fast Petey is skating on the back-check there.

It's terrifying that nobody knows if/when he'll get that back again.

we will never see that petey again. knee injuries have hampered his skating.

I can't imagine Miller and Pettersson not playing on the first powerplay is because of their feud....I can't imagine Tochett ever countenancing it.

But I actually don't hate the idea, if both Pettersson and Miller are playing at top form. I think when you have Hughes playing as well as he is, and when you have him playing the full two minutes, you can have a deadly combo with Hughes and Pettersson and Hughes and Miller on both powerplays, and perhaps it would lead to an overall better powerplay.

Its definitely not conventional.

It's not effective.

It's not like they're even trying to create two real PP units. The 2nd unit is still just the scraps. Tocc has just decided to dump one of Petey or Miller on there for reasons no one can discern.

He took a video of himself returning it. Sometimes bullying is a good thing.

Truly one of my unpopular but correct opinions. People need to get bullied more.

 

[ManVanFan]

TIME TO pull a paul holmgrom deal philly style. trade the BOTH OF Them set a new standard and culture. team would be better off and happier IMO.

Petey playing Tocchet hockey to perfection, maybe Tocchet has already reached his shelf life on the team

 

[Curm]

All I know is, the Canucks two highest paid forwards aren't performing up to their contracts, and it's hurting the team.

I'm not opposed to trading either of them, but Miller's NMC does limit their options and the potential return. I'd rather see a salaried player moved than one of their top few prospects and/or a 1st rounder.

I think Alvin and Rutherford are going to swing big here, and once the break is over, it'll be sooner than later.

All of your opinions are correct bro, you should let us know more often.

Of course it’s not effective right now. Pettersson and Miller are playing like garbage, and Noeser and Debrusk have gone cold. There is basically no iteration that would be effective based on how are top offensive players are currently playing.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Not surprising DeBrusk has gone cold as he's playing with EP and a revolving 4th liner on his other wing.

Honestly underrated opinion. The game isn't just played, but thought so fast nowadays it's essentially 4v5 ES.
