I agree with that, try him on the wing.He's one of the worst face-off guys in the league. Maybe they should move him to the left wing to try and spark his offensive game or deal him at the draft.
I, and probably most of the people on this thread, are assuming that EP is an elite player who is having down year due to issues with the previous management, coach, and possibly teammates. We also assumed that a change in coaching/usage/management would change his outlook, and result in him returning to his elite(or near elite) form. It's still early, but the longer he goes w/o producing under the new regime(s), the more his game will be questioned. Is he nursing an injury? Does he have a problem with his teammates. An undisclosed issue, a la PLD, with the team in general?I think a team serious about acquiring him would want to get a real feel for what's behind the struggles of this year (so far) and last. Is it covid anxiety? Is it unhappiness with the organization? Just a funk? There's enough of a pattern that I can't see the offers of today being what they would have been two years ago.
I'd really be shocked if Vancouver put him in the market though, unless they really wanted to be rid of him. He's only 23 and has shown a lot.
HE ISNT MACKINNON. Petey doesnt have the physical toolbelt Mackinnon has I dont see how anyone looks at those two players and say they are a comp at all.

Roslovic
Chinakhov, Voronkov or Marchenko
Futures package, not sure if it helps
Or Ceulemans if you want young guys, although I don’t want to trade him.This isnt too bad but we will need someone like Peeke, Gavrikov or Boquist coming back

I’ll pass.Counter offer would be same picks, Sillinger (top prospect C) and either Gavrikov or Bean. We don't need wingers.
Dahlin + Cozens for EP, Rathbone + pick
I’m guessing you’re a Vancouver fan. No way a Buffalo fan likes that deal.What kinda pick? I like this though.

2nd?
Montreal's 1st for EP would be interesting. It's hard to decide as EP has looked so good in the past but looks horrible this year.Guilty as charged - Canucks fan.

Montreal can’t trade their first until after the season ends. They’re better off keeping it than moving it for a player thst Makes $7.5m. They’re already going to be tight to the cap and will need a great young player on an entry level deal more than PetterssonMontreal's 1st for EP would be interesting.
