Is there a chance Elias Pettersson gets moved prior to July 1st?
Is there a chance Elias Pettersson gets moved prior to July 1st? What is the Canucks biggest need in free agency? What is the future of the Canucks goaltending? TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.
Only Canucks fans are stupid enough to want to trade their talent away. One just won a cup with the Panthers. Panthers are so grateful you all never seen anything in Gustav Forsling 2× cup champion. Or how about paying OEL to win a Stanley Cup last year and helping the Leafs make the playoffs this year. Only Canucks fans are happy watching their stars win cups with other teams.
D is not that good, Hughes wants out, goaltending is overpaid (lankinen) and Demko is broken. Don't give me any hope from Abbotsford either when their best players are pushing 30. This team is in rough shape.
Pretty sure Petterson is injured. Most players like Auston Mathews who are injured won't disclose it. Don't think he will have a turnaround. It would've happened already.
No question we moved out the wrong center. However now we have no choice but to keep EP40 as we are already down a top six center. We will have to trade a goaltender and a top four Dman to get some scoring up front and then hope for the best. But if EP40 does not return to form this year, the Canucks will have to tear it down and rebuild or just be shitty for another decade or two. Probably the later with this ownership.
Where are you going to find a return that has even the slightest possibility of having Pettersons ceiling as a center?? Get real. Don’t give up on players, work with them. Look at Florida for many, many examples (Gustaf Forsling for one)
This signing will go down as one of the worst signings ever. In the same column of the disastrous Rick DiPietro signing by the Islanders back in the day. Pettersson is completely unmovable. The only hope for the Canucks is to put him on waivers in which case he will clear and they can drop him down to the minors and free up his contact salary although they still have to pay him, it won't be a cap hit.
He cost us our best player and an MVP coach. He's done. Good riddance.

Trade Demko should be a priority
Move on from this buttercup 😅😅

Only a complete moron would NOT trade him. “He’ll bounce back”. Yeah, sure. Been hearing that for OVER a year now.
People were like “He’ll get back at 4 Nations”. Look at his stats, hmmm not surprising. Even Sweden bumped him from 1st C to the 3rd line C.
That’s the worst contract in the NHL, and it’s not even close. In what world is he worth 11.6 million dollars?
The comments on this are pathetic.

If Vancouver wants to win like Abbotsford…. Petey isn't compatible
Fine with me. Guy's, a dud, anyway. More importantly, he appears to be a dressing room cancer.
Get rid of 11.6 he can’t play in Vancouver anymore
Who actually cares? Would it change anything if he goes. Same as if marner would leave leafs. What would it matter? Nothing would change
Marners replacement in Toronto? Or do toronto go towards a 'Sam bennett' type player? 🤨
