Roster Building XXIV: Our Hearts Go Pitter Pattersson

[User13452]

If they do still have interest, might could get him cheap.

I’d have interest on a cheap flyer for the rest of the season would be fine depth for a low cost. 26 goals last year he can still play for sure

 

[DaveG]

I mean if he'd sign for league min, I'd definitely be onboard.

If he’s going to a contender then most don’t have much more space then league minimum anyways be surprised if he got over 1 million

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Saad probably goes to Rangers/Caps at a Minimum.

Probably. Guy seems to hate a lot of people. Tampa was pretty quick to get rid of him after what was the best regular season in league history when Vancouver offered up a conditional first. Took a couple years but he started to beef with Bo Horvat there, Horvat gets traded. Vancouver doesn't suck last year (PDO) so if he was beefing with anyone it went pretty well ignored because it didn't become a total distraction. Vancouver is back to being shit this year and he's beefing with EP, as well as rumors that others want out there as well. Sometimes a guy is just flat out toxic for no other reason than he's an asshole.

Send him to NY. I'm sure Laviolette will befriend him.

Where would he play? He might be an upgrade on Roslovic in the bottom 6 on an RBA team, but then you’re subtracting another right shot forward. I hope they’re zeroing in on C depth as they ain’t got that at the moment. They seem fine on the wings.

Why would they take a young, RHD, who is leading their defense in point, and sit him or trade him? They are a playoff bound team. It doesn't make any sense.

Only to upgrade, probably.

But fun to think about nonetheless.

Would replace Jaaska with the ability to move up and down the lineup. I doubt he comes here anyways there is probably a team that can give him more of a opportunity

Obviously he replaces Roslovic when we trade him and KK for EP!!

Apparently their GM, Blake, has made bad decisions with trading good prospects before, but even with that information, I doubt he gets traded. If he is traded, you'd think it'd be for a really good roster player.

I doubt we have a chance, but man, he'd give a big extension to our core from the blue line since he's only 21. He's already done well for a young defenseman playing his first full season, and yeah, he's a RHD. That's a big deal. He's also 6'2 and 200 pounds already.

If they aren't trading him, I don't know what they're doing with his decrease in ice time. Really stupid.

What a sensible, and utterly boring, take.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Saad probably doesn't make sense for us unless we trade one of our wingers for a 4C or RD, but I think a lot of contenders who lack cap space or draft capital would love to get in on that.

 

[Lempo]

I wonder if JT Miller hates both Elias Pettersons.

"Yeah but... we're two different guys --"
"I don't care!"

 

[To Be Determined]

"Why should i have to change my name? He's the one who sucks!"

 

[WreckingCrew]

"Why should i have to change my name? He's the one who sucks!"

Canucks should acquire Marcus Pettersson just so they can have 3x Pettersson on the team...all on JTMs line

 

[BrindAmours Army]

That would be... interesting

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Imagine the reactions if Marner signed here for some absolutely crazy discount like 7mil a year lol

 

[TheBigLetowski]

That would be... interesting

I think that account is run by a 12 yr old or something. Also, the more I think about the adding a Miller/ High profile player, the less likely we'd see Rants re-sign. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we let KK run that 2nd line with legit wingers and no Drury to swap with him. Let's get a rugged 4C who can win FO's + another D man and we look okay.

 

[Joe McGrath]

... claims dad. I don't much appreciate parents or anyone talking on behalf of a grown-up or anyone really on what someone supposedly likes or doesn't like. They're their own person. May be a close person knows these things for a fact, or may be they're just reflecting their own preferences for someone else's with no basis in truth whatsovever. Mikko, a millionnaire in his late 20's, has, I believe, a trade/no-trade list for x amount of teams in his SPC, and I'm pretty sure his dad didn't make that list.

I agree with all of this….but also Carolina wasn’t on that no trade list either.

 

[bleedgreen]

I could see us going big with the Orlov approach. High money, short term. I think that’s our play for high value guys who normally wouldn’t sign with the Canes.

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Not that I wouldn't like moves in this regard, but at a certain point we are going to have to extend Nikishin and having Rantanen and Marner in the fold might make that exceedingly difficult, unless Marner is willing to come on a big discount just to get away from the insane Canadian media.

And to be clear, I fully believe this is incredibly bad fanfic and probably shouldn't be considered serious

Yeah, at first it was really exciting reading that Marner really wants to play for us, but I had to do a double take and question the source's credibility.

Has "Ice Talk" ever had a decent record with being reliable in the past? Anybody know?

The person supposedly scooped the Taylor Hall trade, but I'm still very skeptical.
