Friedman: Pettersson says he’ll only re-sign if Canucks have successful season

[Jared Dunn]

Forget the PLD nonsense - this is the guy Montreal should sell the farm for

 

[Jeune Poulet]

I don't think what he said was completely outrageous.

Having said that, the trend of Canadian teams having to deal with less enthusiastic players continues.

We need the next CBA and salary cap structure to level the playing field for Canadian teams somehow. And for that, Canadian teams (and Canadian hockey in general) needs to put a more united front on these issues.

 

[Three On Zero]

Edmonton and Vancouvers division finishes since the first covid season;

EDM: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd
VAN: 4th, 7th, 5th, 6th

theyre VERY far apart!!

Players don’t care where they finish the regular season, players care about playoff success

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Rangers were very high on him in 2017, we should be all over this.
Perhaps a package consisting of...

(Trocheck or Chytil)
+
(Kakko or Lafreniere)
+
(Schneider or Miller)
+
(Othmann, Perreault, or 2025 1st)

I think that Canucks need to lure Kravtsov out from Traktor to be included in deal. If no, no deal.

Canadian teams do it to themselves by constantly higher below average personnel to fill key management positions. This ain’t a CBA/salary cap issue. It’s a poorly managed team issue

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Didn't he say something along the lines of only signing a short term deal last time and re-evaluating afterward based on the state of the team?
This seems like more of a reminder of his previous mindset if that's the case.

If a Swede doesn't want to stay, who have been known to be loyal... Your organization has big issues.

Us Canucks fans know this. Benning has set this franchise back 10 seasons. It would not surprise me that any player from the Benning regime would want out. At this point its all about getting the Benning stench out of the organization. If it means getting rid of EP+Quinn and going for a full throttle rebuild, I think most Canucks fans would be happy.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Swede? Detroit bound.

Pettersson signed long-term for

Kasper, ASP, 1st in 2024, 2nd in 2025.

Petterson-Larkin duo down the middle ain't bad.

Nah. Maybe Edvinsson, ASP, and two firsts though.

 

[Three On Zero]

Players always reference how toxic social media is, Pettersson talked about it with the OEL buyout. I wonder how many players make these kind of comments as a mind-f*** to get back at the fan bases that trash them all season

 

[ffh]

He's gone they ain't making playoffs this year again.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

looks like Toronto is the only Canadian City that can keep good players.

in 3 seasons Edmonton will have no one.

Toronto again. Pat yourself on the shoulder. Thread about Canucks and Pettersson.

 

[Muffin]

He's an RFA, he really doesn't have much leverage. Worst case scenario Vancouver gets a haul for him.

[Surf Nutz]

Wow. never really seen this type of call out before.
You could say he put the writing on the wall with a can of spray paint.

It’s an unwillingness to rebuild issue.

Other than Edmonton.

McDavid and Draisaitl signed max deals to stay in Edmonton
Matthews and Marner did not

 

[Golden_Jet]

Nylander plus small ad for Petey?

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Players don’t care where they finish the regular season, players care about playoff success

thats a personal opinion!

Huh? You may need to reread what I replied to lol. It was in context to changing the CBA for Canadian markets

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Since 2020 Edmontons win 1 more playoff round than Vancouver.

Since 2012 Edmonton has won 2 more playoff rounds than Vancouver.

These teams are not that far apart, we’ve seen the too end talent frustrated on both ends

Canucks have made the playoffs 1 time since Petey has been in the league...the bubble playoffs where the Canucks turned out to be a mirage

Oilers have made it 4 times...the situations aren't comparable at all

every year we hear the Canucks are supposed to "take the next step", and every year they managed to embarrass themselves
maybe Tocchet changes the fortunes of the team unlike "Bruce there it is" Boudreau...

 

[Dion TheFluff]

can't blame him! Who would want to stay in Vancouver.
Canucks should be able to get a good haul for him anyways.

rebuild the rebuild lol

 

[AvroArrow]

He's an RFA so at least they'll get a haul for him if they do have to trade him.

 

[crowi]

He has been losing on shitcrap Benning (the guru) teams for a long time now. It's a clear message to send to the management group and owner.

 

[Michoulicious]

Nah. Maybe Edvinsson, ASP, and two firsts though.

I think it's alright. Detroit does it.
