Player Discussion Marcus Pettersson

[racerjoe]

Big fan of this player going back to his days in Anaheim. He brings something sorely needed on our defense, and having him is going to create trickle down that help other guys like Soucy who will flourish again in a lesser role.

Don’t be stupid… we can’t take Juulsen out…

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Best defenseman on the team.

Yup.

he is rangy always in the right position can move the puck... boxes out guys. if van can resign him to a reasonable contract. the 2nd left side spot is set. the third could either be dpetey for next year if soucy moves.

Can we sign him already?

Played a very Tanev-esque game, was rarely if ever, on the wrong side of the puck.

We failed to pay Tanev and spent years with regrets. Pay MP what he wants.

The be fair, Tanev was older, had trouble staying healthy, and analytically was in decline. Turns out that like Hamhuis there is a fountain of youth waiting for the player after leaving Vancouver.

I am hesitant to comment and jinx things. It seems management don't care about value in acquiring players but care about value in signing players to contracts. I hope we sign M-Petey to a good contract but I can see management holding firm and M-Petey not re-signing.
