Rumor: Just Kidding! Pettersson and JT Miller Trade Reunion!

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Why would Toronto do this? Makes 0 sense for them, and Marner's value is rightfully much higher than Pettersson's at the moment.

Would Canucks fans prefer Necas and some sweeteners to Marner ?

No way would Carolina have added to Necas to get Pettersson this year

 

[Beerz]

Its going to take " a little rich" type of trade to move Pettersson.


He is more valuable and had way better numbers than Eichel at the time Eichel was traded. Not to mention the risk of trading for Eichel at that point due to his neck. So what did Eichel get you guys..


Alex Tuch
Krebs
1st
2nd

Bufallo lost that deal imo as is the case during a trade when an elite player going into his prime is traded.

Pettersson >> Eichel

Its going to take 4 good pieces imo. or close to it. It might not be these players specifically but value wise i think it will be:

1st
Cozens
Byram
Peterka

Petterson is pretty tarnished himself.. and I would not say that Petterson was/is >> Eichel when Eichel was traded.

Buffalo definitely lost the trade. ... We got one NHL roster player for Eichel.

Petterson is not going to be valued at his 100 point season... why would he? .. Nothing about Petterson screams he is going to command that much.

Guy is slumping hard and is getting paid nearly 12 mill a year.

He will get a good return if he is traded but not that good.

 

[Djp]

Very little chance the Canucks win any Pettersson trade. World class talent entering his prime.

If Buffalo the trade partner then I want a lottery ball in the Mackenna sweepstakes.


2026 1st - unprotected

For

Pettersson

Too much. Buffalo gets something else back as well or Vancouver retains on the 8 yet vontract.

 

[UrbanImpact]

btw if Pettersson is traded, it doesnt mean Miller stays. IMO its either:

1. Miller is traded and EP40 stays
2. They are both traded

I dont see a scenario that Miller stays.

So moving Pettersson to me means the Canucks will have no Number 1 C nor do they have any in the pipleline with that potential.

Thats why i really dont think Bufallo is the front runners to get EP40 specifically because i dont think Cozens has the potential to be a 1c. I think Cozens is a 2C-winger hybrid as a ceiling but likely falls in the tweener realm of 2c-3c


If EP40 is moved, I think it will be for a bonified young C or a highly coveted Centre prospect.

You underestimate some of our assets. What do you think the offer from Carolina could have been before the recent deal with Colorado and what would suit you?

 

[Three On Zero]

Makes no sense for Vancouver.

Marner is older and is going to be looking for his final retirement contract. Trading away Pettersson you need at minimum a #2 center back and not a winger.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Little rich. As was stated before.. I don't think you'll get 3 roster players. One of Cozens or Peterka. I'd throw in a prospect in the tier of Isak Rosen

You are vastly underrating your own assets if you think's that's just a "little rich". Maybe, you were just being kind though.

Remove Peterka and the unprotected 1st and you are probably closer.

People expecting EP to return 4 premium assets are out too lunch.

Yeah maybe.. but at this point.. I don't even care about draft picks.

Not without a contract signed, it isn't.

 

[UrbanImpact]

From Carlina i think it would have been :

1st
Necas
Drury
Morrow

but like i said, Canucks would need a bonified 1C or 1C potential so i dont know if that would have been the case because Necas seems like he is better suited at Wing.

 

[ashs]

Marner literally has 2x the pts Elias has.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

The way these usually work is, the side with the player in better form, nixes and mocks the proposal. That would be the Leafs in this case since Marner is in very good form.

But a GM would have to be a real sucker not to realize that Marner's performance is in a contract year, which means next season there will very likely be a huge falloff. That's why GMs have not exactly been falling over themselves to pick up Marner.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Not without a contract signed, it isn't.

Pettersson's contract is not an asset... 11.6M for 5 more years for a guy whose on a terrible trajectory with an injury history and reported attitude issues is a boat anchor contract as it stands.

Dude is on pace for 58 points, and his underlying numbers don't really suggest he's been unlucky.

 

[UrbanImpact]

but IMO, Buffalo is getting used to drive up the Miller offers.

I really dont think the Canucks are serious at all about trade EP40 unless they get a Godfather offer.

I think this is all a smoke screen..... " You better give us more for Miller or were trading Pettersson instead and keeping Miller"

 

[Hunter368]

I can't see Nucks being interested in a winger, ignoring the off ice issues of both players. Plus Marner has no contract and history of being a major problem at contract time. Not a fan of either team, just doesn't make sense from a Nucks POV IMO

Consider that Toronto's GM is the same guy that gave Jonathan Huberdeau $84M for his 115 point season...

Necas
Drury
Morrow

Byram is more valuable than either Morrow or Drury, Peterka is only 23 and his points is improving every season, he could very well score 60+ points this season, although he hasn't been in ideal conditions this season either. Cozens is probably less valuable than them, but he has upside and is still young. So it looks rich.

Pettersson


Core of: Thompson ,Pettersson, Dahlin, Powers, Tuch, Kulich, Benson is surely a playoff team. With young studs like Helenuis, Ostlund and Rosen coming in or used as ammo to surround the core.

I like how your first sentence contradicts your trade proposal. Unprotected 2026 1st is worth more than Pettersson.

A huge fall off? Dude has had 3 consecutive 100+ pace point seasons coming into this year...

Trading a center for a winger puts them in a worse position than they are now.

Eh. The shine has kind of come off of Cozens and Peterka a bit though. Cozens is driving the struggle bus HARD so his value isn't quite what it was last season or the season before. While JJP's production is just fine.....he seems to be sliding into a Skinner-esque thing where he's either scoring or completely invisible....which again depresses his value some.

GM's have not been falling over themselves to trade for Marner because it's a non-starter, he has a NMC and wants to be a Leaf...

His performance is not even out of line with his normal production. Unlike EP, he's a very consistent point producer.

24-25: 111 point pace
23-24: 101 point pace
22-23: 101 point pace
21-22: 110 point pace

As opposed to Marner, who will be wanting in excess of $13M from the highest bidder and regularly disappears when it matters...

At least one has their flaws and is signed for 5 more years. The other could walk in July, and if he doesn't, will be more expensive.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Maybe in Playstation 5 but not with real GMs who have to win to keep their jobs.

And for Sabres sake, you gotta think if they do get Pettersson then 1.5 yrs from now they arent a lottery team and that first round pick is somewhere between 17-25 th overall.

Eh. The shine has kind of come off of Cozens and Peterka a bit though. Cozens is driving the struggle bus HARD so his value isn't quite what it was last season or the season before.

Are Sabres higher on Peterka or Kulich?

 

[FlameChampion]

Petterson isn’t a reliable commodity at this point. Hes also on an expensive contract.
