Confirmed Trade: [VAN/PIT] Marcus Pettersson, Drew O’Connor for Danton Heinen, Vincent Desharnais, Melvin Fernstrom, NYR's c. 2025 1st (top 13 protected)

Not really a fan of Pettersson. One of those players that CAN play up the lineup... but ideally doesn't because they are exploitable, unreliable, streaky, and error-prone.

Wow this could not be a more inaccurate take on Pettersson.

I don’t like the trade for the mere fact he is ufa needing a new contract. Canucks better a) sign him and b) hope he doesn’t forget to play hockey and get overpaiditus like EP and hronek. It’s amazing how hockey players decline instantly when they get their big ufa contract, just absolutely amazing

If I change my name to Petterson, to do you think they'll give me a shot?
I've never played hockey before.

Sure? But could you imagine Savoie on McDavids wing? 1st line potential . What a steal .

Meh.

Since 2023 McDavid is more of a “Top 10 player” type rather than a “best in the world” type that can turn scrubs into scorers.

Trust me I tried.

Looks like teams will need to make trade earlier this time around, because a lot of competent D is already getting traded.

This is obviously a huge upgrade for Vancouver, going from Desharnais who has been just tragic this year to 3Petey.

But they still need another top 6 Winger (Or 2 if boeser leaves) and a true #2 Center.

Luckily they still have a ton of good assets, both picks players and prospects

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Very impressed with M Pettersson in his first game.

What Rutherford said in the Yohe article is basically exactly right, both about him & our need for a player like this. Hopefully they can get the contract done sooner than later.

Wow this could not be a more inaccurate take on Pettersson.

Fair enough.

I got carried away there, but really, what I'm trying to nail down is that Pettersson is a dumb player, and makes the kind of gaffes that are just outright inexcusable.

His nickname is Dragon, it's something he had from his time in Anaheim that carried over.

Make it easier for yourself.

I know that at 99.9% this won't happen, but I'm dreaming of the Canucks sending a unit on the ice with Elias Pettersson, the other Elias Pettersson, Marcus Pettersson and Riley Patterson (2024 4th rounder)
