The false opportunity cost of 11.6

[bossram]

Would San Jose be interested? @Bobby9 @bossram

They can afford to put him on wing

They're not trading Celebrini for Petey (obviously), but there's no other piece I'd be that interested in a Petey trade. There's no deal to make.

Bobby is the most irrationally Petey hating person here, so course he'd trade him to SJ for anything.

Whether you believe he's injured or not, or that it's the lingering effects of a bad offseason, or that it's all in his head, or whatever... it's pretty clear that he's not gone forever. He will be back at some point.

Whether you are committed to wanting to trade him or not, we are stuck waiting for him to return to form. Even if you are dead set on trading him you wait for him to return to form so we can actually get value and then sell instead of giving him away for a bunch of quarters now because of impatience.

I don't think it's because of impatience people want to get rid of him, it's been over a year now. How many years are we expecting to wait for him return to form? I think it's a valid question. And some just don't want to risk having pettersson locked into his NMC while our team still has options to where he goes/what assets we can still reclaim. Tocchet basically confirmed he isn't injured last night and he's lost love for the game and not having fun. To me that's first world problems, poor Petey. We're still winning without him putting up points anyways, I feel like any centre given the hours he's had in his position could put up his points. Maybe he comes back maybe he doesn't, signing a contract like that then vanishing off planet earth for a full year like that says a lot about EP40.

I wonder how much of an impact MP29 being around is going to have on EP40? MP29 is a leader and vocal guy, he's certainly not as reserved as EP40 and a lot of Swedes are, and as a key acquisition, didn't hesitate to sign an extension here, citing his previous experience with management being a reason why.

The stark contrast in voices and presence in the locker room between MP29 and Miller is a godsend for EP40.

Hilarious considering everything ive said about EP116 is coming true right in front on you.

Making up injuries is where you’re at in this discussion FYI and you call yourself the rational side.

Also, Will smith has just as much value as the current EP116

He's probably never going to be a center and will top out as a Kent Johnson type scoring winger. Not really comparable as players and I'd argue that current Petey is still more valuable than him given the fact he's actually able to play c.

Factor in the god awful 11.6M contract and WSmith has more value.
