A career PPG player has never been broken. But if there was a fanbase that could do it , it would be Vancouver. Pettersons personality just doesn't work with the market. Whatever his problem is , the market is sure to make it worse. And Tocchet is already taking the media's side. And fuelling it himself.

Vegas is always game for a flashy move. Maybe they'd be interested in a Petterson Eichel swap. With maybe some tinkering on the margins. Kinda like the Havlat/Heatly deal.

Petterson is 25. Eichel is 28. Vegas woild win the trade just based on that.

No reason at all for Vegas to consider this. They’re in first place in the division. Only struggling teams trade their stars and I’m not sure I’d even call Vancouver a struggling team right now.

Plus Vegas can just wait until Mark Stone's back gets sore then use the LTIR to acquire EP.

Have EP for free
Guy has been going through a nervous breakdown since last years all-star game break

Guy puts 60 points in 45 games before the break…...

The Something happens in his life, and he has been a 4th liner since. Maybe the contract

You’ve never seen such a drop in play happen in the blink of an eye.

Zero chance Vegas does this. Eichel is a proven winner as a 1C. Pettersson’s recent struggles and new contract have him in the not desirable category.

Eichel is pure drive, while Pettersson sulks. Eichel is the type of player that lifts everyone around him. Worth far more than just what's on the scoresheet.

If you think the return for a disaffected player is Eichel, you will be disappointed. You should be looking for another change of scenery player or a player who's contract negotiations aren't going well, not one of the league's leading scorers with a recent cup win.

Teams like Anaheim, Detroit, and Buffalo are probably where you want to look. Places with loads of young talent that aren't succeeding.

Vegas blocks Vancouvers number.

What a disrespectful proposal, and I like the OP
