Rumor: Isles going after Petterson; Dobson possibly involved

[Coffee]

hughes, hronek, pettersson, dobson would be an insane top 4.

Sucks that we’ll never see it

hughes should be back soon. seems like it's a nagging injury but not serious enough to hold him out long term.

 

[impaaaaaact]

Um so since when do rumors of what Lou Lamoriello will do actually happen?

when they get to the other team. there was smoke around horvat for a while before it happened

hughes, hronek, pettersson, dobson would be an insane top 4.

I guess it depends on who comes back, but the offense isn't there.

Not that forward Elias Pettersson is doing much since Miller was traded.

 

[impaaaaaact]

Isn’t Barzal on IR?

yeah, he's probably out for the year. looked like he busted his kneecap blocking a shot 6-5

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Would be hilarious. Trade Miller because him and Petey can't get along. Couple weeks later, trade Petey to a team that plays Miller the most times in a season.

 

[impaaaaaact]

Just figured Karlsson would be a decent mentor/fellow countrymen addition with EP.
Islanders need some Swedish offense and skating injected into their core.

I mean it's fun but it has us literally trading all three of our RD lol

He’ll be ready for 4 nations to school Canada

Did i miss something? Didn't VAN deal Miller at a discount so they could keep Petey?

it reminds me of when the canucks traded schneider and luongo. all the speculation on which one would go and it ended up being both.

Things move fast in the NHL

FWIW, an Isles "Insider" (who does get things right more often than he's wrong) has suggested that Lou could be meeting with Nelson's agent today while the Isles are in Minnesota, and depending on the outcome of that meeting a lot of dominos could fall. Again, not the craziest thing I've ever heard

i donno, canada has makar

Nelson and Horvat

 

[Grub]

At least our GM and management have balls. What’s other team’s excuses? Haha gonna be a fun time.

And big MacKinnon! You’re right, hard to bet against the Canadians. Both nations are super skilled

 

[EXTRAS]

As a Canucks fan I'd want neither barzal nor dobson

This particular rumour sounds like some really inaccurate dart throwing.

That said, Nucks can’t be happy w either Miller or Pettersen with the way things have gone. I could def see them moving off of pettersen for the right deal.

And big MacKinnon!

My Colombian gf read his name out loud the other day in Spanish "maquinon" (the big machine) and I can't read it any other way now hahaha

Yeah, all three times a year!

(ok, usually it's 4, but sometimes it's 3!)

Man, I hate this schedule format!

 

[Turin]

I can hardly think of a player the Canucks need less than Dobson.

There won't be a right deal though. Nobody's giving them full value for Petey right now.

On the other hand i'd be wary as a buyer that VAN is willing to let him go.

 

[Oresy]

I can see old Lou making a play for Boeser and Pete with Barzal and Dobson coming back. Something centred around that. Few other pieces to make both teams happy.

 

[Forsbergaura21]

The big question here is when is Dobson supposed to come back from his injury? Anyone know?
