The false opportunity cost of 11.6

[nowhereman]

Surely you dont honestly think this is something you can use as evidence. Just using this dishonest card becase it fits your agenda.

Yeah, sure, I'm the one with the agenda...

Isn’t this thread about the opportunity cost of $11.5m and saying what could you do with that money?

So asking if you would give up Petey + $2m for Marner kind of makes sense.



So your answer is no. You would just keep Pet

Marner is one of the only players that is around Petterson's level that is theoretically available. His rights would probably be traded for things that we don't want to give up. And would cost 13-14 in cap. He's also 27 and a right winger.

Rantenen is 28, is also a right winger and would cost 13-14+.

Are these the situations you are dying to get Pettersons 11.6 off the books for ? At least they are high ceiling moves and are still better than a glorified Miller trade.

But I think the point stands. Petterson is already here , is a centre , is 11.6 and not 13+ and just turned 26. That 11.6 is best to stay right where it is.

Ok.

Hronek said at last years presser he played healthy.

Watching Pettersson try to get the zone on the PP with 12:50 left in a tie game is embarrassing.

He stops to avoid getting hit, and dumps it in only to not chase so SJS exit and go on a 2 on 2 against.

They give up on the 1st unit, bring Suter and Joshua on. Suter carries into the zone sets it up and Joshua drives the net and scores.

There are many players who are greatly outperforming Pettersson right now for less than a quarter of his cap hit…

A few more weeks of this and Petey will be viewed in a similar light to Patrick Laine.

It's not just about the cap hit. Can't put a price on accountability.

Got to let it be known, that players that get the bag and mail it in, aren't welcome here and will be shipped to Buffalo.
