Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

You haven't read much about the Canucks if you haven't read about his slump after paying too much attention to social media.
All I know is that there are people saying that Carolina and the Canucks were close to a deal involving EP. They are saying that they really like EP, so if Carolina likes him, that's good enough for me. Carolina have real smart hockey ops. A step above you.:nod::laugh:
 
I haven't even been following the media much in regard to Vancouver. So serious question(s).

If Pettersson is so awful why was VAN more interested in trading JT Miller instead? Is age enough to make them want to have the young, overpaid, crybaby more than the older bully? Seems like this would be justification for them to wash their hands of EP if they thought he was the main cause of the locker-room issues, on-ice issues, or if they now feel they've made a mistake with his extension. Why does VAN feel better off keeping EP over JTM? What's VAN thinking?
They have tried to trade both. Most recently they were discussing a trade with Carolina before the Colorado trade finalized. He's not a cancer but I will say again he would not be worth the acquisition cost plus salary for Utah to take the risk.

The way it sounds personality conflict, and maybe some finger pointing. I wonder if they should add in coaching?:sarcasm::laugh:

They offer sheeted Kotkaniemi, they make mistakes like everyone else.

How do you know what the cost would be? If Utah made such a deal I would think they expect EP to bounce back and that his salary would not be an issue for them.

Of course they do. I think ego got in the way of that one. :nod:

So.....you think the Canucks are trading away their 1C and the cost will be reasonable?? You have jumped the shark Jakey

I'm sure the cost would be high, but they said BA was one of the GM's who contacted the Canucks. You just never know.

BA will never do a big TDL deal for a 1C like EP, BA needs months/years to contemplate it. Canucks will wait for the summer if they trade EP, and if they trade EP to us, this board will hate what we have to give up, meaning Cooley, 1st, and Durzi type of return, it will hurt, a lot. They might move JT at the TDL that is my guess, 50/50 chance of that.

Our former coach of the year will solve it in the mean time:)

Like you and I never thought the Coyotes would leave Arizona?:laugh:
There is no way Cooley would be involved in that trade. I would think Hayton, Crouse and something else. Maybe one of our Dman. I doubt it happens though.

We did, for 20 years, and we were right, then a giant offer came along that never existed before that. Sure in 20 years BA might make a big trade at the TDL:)

There is no way we or anyone else will get EP for a 3C, 3W, and a 5/6D. They will want Cooley and or Keller as part of the trade or maybe Sergi, 2 of those 3, and maybe a first. No way BA does that, but that is more like the cost of a young 1C.
 
Jakey are you getting a jersey yet?

We finally get to see Sergachev-Marino. It's only the first game but still excited

WOW, you finally agree that Hayton is a 3C.:nod:

They are sold out. We are talking about Cooley, right?:sarcasm:
 
Poor Koly. Good news - you're still up with the big club. Bad news - you're on the fifth line with a guy in a limited contact jersey.
Koly is where he belongs. I don' think he is doing enough to beat out anyone, at the moment. Vali is having a rough year.
