Nagging injury for two years? Not a good sign if there's no end in sight. He just had 4 straight scoreless games and is on pace for 69 points. Doesn't seem like he's doing well lately, and he's the 5th highest paid player in the league. Scary stuff for a prospective trade partner.
Pettersson for Slafkovsky is not even close, the potential top 5 pick would be most of the value but that would still be a long shot to be as good as a PPG center. Easy pass from the Canucks perspective.

Because Canucks fans are very similar to Habs fans. Canucks are also a crazy fanbase so they overreact and want to rebuild after minor adversity.

Good.
Cause Pettersson doesn't appear to me as a guy you win a cup with, anyway.
His style of play isn't really a fit for playoff hockey, afaic.
I prefer Slaf size and strength, when he's on his game, he's a major force along the boards and in front of the net, where actual playoff hockey games are won...

Dam 11.6 million cap hit... ouff that hurts, but he's a great player. Suzuki's cap hit is under 7.9 million, Laine's cap hit is 8.7 mil and he's gonna need an extension soon..
I dont think Montreal does this. Remove Slafkovsky and add Hage. Or any prospect except Demidov.
To Montreal:
Pettersson
To Vancouver:
Hage or any prospect
Engström
2025 1st round pick

I think Pettersson is a great player, but he's not worth his contract. I could see his deal becoming an issue for us like Tavares contract end up being an issue for the Leafs. I might as well resign Laine and not give up Slaf + top 5 pick +

Yup. Adding that cap hit makes everyone else regret their deals, too. I'm hoping Suzuki stays an internal cap, a bit like Bergeron did for the Bruins for a while.
Well, that can only work for so long. Essentially you need to look at the % of cap at the moment the contract was signed.
Pettersson was 13.18%
Suzuki was 9.55%
I understand Pettersson had a better track record, but I don't think he's going to be a constant 100pt player, and he's paid like one.
If Demidov ends up the player we think and ends up signing for 9.55% of cap (same for let's say Hutson), it will be good contracts. To go over 10% of the cap you need to be a trophy caliber player year after year IMO.

For the person making the Pettersson, Laine, and Suzuki contract comparisons:
Petey last 3 years: +33
Suzuki last 3 years: -27
Laine last 3 years: -29
Slaf last 3 years: -43
Pettersson is a huge part of why the Canucks have a chance to make the playoffs and makes a huge positive net difference when he’s on the ice.

If I'm the Habs, I'm a no on this one. Value favors Vancouver.
That 1st round pick is top 10 as of today and could end up top 5. So lets just give that pick a name. Lets pick Anton Frondell - C (Sweden). 6'1 (late birthday so he'll be one of the youngest guys in the draft).
To Vancouver:Juraj Slafkovsky
Adam Engstrom
Anton Frondell
Christian Dvorak
Too rich. too much. Three of those guys above could end up being top six forwards. One of them already is. Frondell sure should become one.
