Rumor: Isles going after Petterson; Dobson possibly involved

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update.

Thought are that the Sabres need to make the playoffs. They get an experienced right shot, 1st pairing defenseman and improve down the middle.

Islanders need to do something or burn it down. They get a prime 1C and a high scoring RW

Canucks are probably past the point of recovery but Hughes is young enough for a rebuild. They get a potential Boeser replacement and very high pick, in order to start a quick turn around.
Canucks would take Dobson/Barzal over Cozens, Quinn and a 1st. They’ve already said they aren’t rebuilding as long as Quinn is around.
 
Is that Barzal thing the same kneecap he busted while goofing around back in his draft year? Related long-term complications starting to hit?
he took a slapper to the kneecap trying to help close out a game and immediately left the ice. not sure if it's the same kneecap but this isn't like a maintenance thing.
 
*disclaimer I am not one that heavily values Pettersson or Dobson and I see the value in Jones retained to a decent number behind Hronek

NYI - Elias Pettersson
VAN - Jp Pageau, Danny Nelson, Noah Dobson

CHI - Noah Dobson
VAN - Ryan Greene, Seth Jones (%25 retained)

Same as the Miller trade, Canucks chop up their dollar centerman for 4 quarters.

Jp Pageau - RHC signed 5.0 x2
Danny Nelson - 19 LHC drafted 2023
Ryan Greene - 21 RHC drafted 2022
Seth Jones - RHD retained 7.125 x6

Canucks save 300k once Juulsen gets sent down.

if the canucks get dobson, they sure as heck are trading him for anything with seth jones in it
 
Blocking a shot that caused an injury is now long term complication? Yeah, he’s not Mark Stone…

I was wondering if it was related to the kneecap injury he suffered horsing around in the locker room in his draft year. But yeah, sounds like it's just another weirdly coincidental unlucky event for one of his kneecaps. :dunno:

He took the shot off the kneecap and could barely move. I give him credit for getting his body in the way and trying to do what it takes to preserve a lead as an offense first type of player.

I doubt it, that pick is currently Misa, right now at least. The Sabres might value that package over Dobson/Barzal though. That fills their top 2 center spots for the next decade.

Vancouver had a lot of real good players , are they about to completly decimate this team ? Like wow.
 
If Canucks trade EP40 now, when he's playing like a 3C, then they must believe he's irredeemable in Vancouver, and his value will only sink.

Which will be shocking to most of the fanbase. This is ludicrous, to go from 2.5 1C to 0 in 3 years. Even if they manage to get Barzal back, it will be a severe downgrade. Guy had 1 healthy season in the past 6 years.

Horrible for islanders. I’m against trading Dobson. He’s a 6,4 right handed defensman who can skate really well and just put up 70pts as a 24 year old. Isles ain’t adding Andy high end assets with him like Danny Nelson who is a B+ prospect.
 
If anything happens, I’d assume it’d be a three teamer. Dobson goes somewhere else in exchange for an F that VAN actually wants

Doubt what, that Quinn isn’t sticking around if the Canucks trade Pettersson with the primary piece in return being a draft pick?
 
If the Canucks trade away Pettersson, Miller, and Horvat just to end up with Chytil as their #1 center, Hughes should demand a trade on the spot.
Then pull an Adam Fox/Patrick Kane/JT Miller and say it’s only for one team and that team is NJ,
 
So his play it self isn’t different just the production hasn’t been there basically.
His play is definitely different this year. Speed is way down and his shot, when he uses it, is not nearly as hard. I think he ultimately he needs a full offseason of conditioning to get back to where he should be. His confidence is completely shot at this point.

There has to be more to this rumor. It's not happening unless its a bigger deal involving one of Barzal, Horvat or Nelson.
There's more than meets the eye with this one. Trading Pettersson for the sake of trading Pettersson doesn't make sense. Especially when the Canucks defense looks great now, they really don't need Dobson anymore.


I'm guessing it's Pettersson +/+ for Dobson, Nelson/Barzal

Mat Barzal? Are you looking at games played and forgetting about COVID? He's had two injured years over the 8 in his career.
